"... Soundgarden pushes the envelope ... like Danzig or the Cult, Soundgarden takes its cues from metal's new primitivism, eschewing virtuosity for the brutish efficiency of simple aggression. That's not to say these guys don't have chops: Chris Cornell has the sort of soaring, muscular voice Ian Astbury can only dream of, while guitarist Kim Thayil comes across like the Edge with an attitude, but they do seem more inclined to beat a riff into submission than strut their stuff by playing rings around it ... (the songs) are mean, lean and fighting fit ... yet as basic as the band's musical architecture seems on the surface, there's a surprising finesse to these arrangements ..." - Rolling Stone "... helped set the wheels of an alternative music revolution in motion ... a significant leap from the underground punk rock trenches ... not only a fork in the road for the band, but also a point of no return ... this transition entailed a distinct but really quite organic evolution of the band’s sound ... toward the incremental power and precision of heavy metal, without sacrificing any of their powerful, genre-melding fusions ... the ultimate collision of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath ... the creative risks first undertaken on Louder Than Love would soon find even greater focus on their next album, Badmotorfinger and then vault the band decisively over the platinum plateau and into the Superunknown of worldwide stardom." - UltimateClassicRock.com Soundgarden's major label debut, 1989's Louder Than Love hints at things to come with songs like Loud Love, Hands All Over and Get On The Snake. Big Dumb Sex was made famous thanks to a cover version on the 1993 Guns N' Roses album The Spaghetti Incident?.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
