Instead they doubled down on drop-tuned guitars and lurching grooves, building a bridge between the punk-fed Seattle underground and classic heavy metal a couple of years before the rest of the world came looking for grunge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Cornell's voice is the headline, a howl that can go from a sneer to a full siren in one breath. On \"Hands All Over\" he aims it at humanity's careless treatment of the planet over a hypnotic, rolling groove, while \"Loud Love\" swells out of a wall of feedback before Kim Thayil's guitar locks into one of the band's most swaggering riffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Get On The Snake\" crawls along on Matt Cameron's heavy-footed drumming, and \"Ugly Truth\" proves the band could write a hook as sharp as any of its riffs. Terry Date's production keeps everything thick and close, as if the band is playing a few feet away in a sweaty club.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone tracing Seattle's path to Badmotorfinger and Superunknown, this is where the ambition starts to show.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453237567793,"sku":"075021525221","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_45cda8ad-c63b-4b67-8abe-e0fe9f73b2ea.jpg?v=1794228772","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/soundgarden-louder-than-love-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
