lennyboy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but looks like a picture disc reissue of Superunknown is planned for later this month. I've seen it on a distributor's website but this is the first pre-order I've found. http://www.amazon.ca/Superunknown-Limited-Picture-Disc-Vinyl/dp/B00FKNO9EK If anyone has more info please let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustycage Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 This. Superunknown especially. The best album ever released by Soundgarden by a mile. What a bold and factually incorrect statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecrets0308 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 What a bold and factually incorrect statement. how do you figure it's factually incorrect? my statement was of course my opinion, guess I should've put an IMO after it. I'm curious to hear how you think it's a fact that superunknown is NOT their best album. If anything, I could make an argument that my opinion is a fact. Soundgarden achieved its biggest success with the 1994 album Superunknown, which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and yielded the Grammy Award-winning singles "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman". cited from wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundgarden psus2h 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Don't own and never will own a pic disc. I've heard they sound awful and I intend to play it, not hang it on my wall. In a way it gives me hope that maybe a non-pic disc for Superunknown is just over the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have won every award out there and to me it isn't their best album but that is just my opinion. I do like it and have the original pressing.

thesecrets0308 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 . Sorry, didn't seem that way if the modern age has taught us anything it's that text is emotionally sterile. In addition, I would like to voice my opinion in saying that the music video for Black Hole Sun is the best music video of all time. Bold, I know.

That's why statements such as "factually incorrect" (especially when followed by a lame smiley face) are meant to be taken in jest. But seriously though, since we're having this conversation.... You're argument is flawed because you are equating commercial success with artistic quality. I think they are rarely the same. Like I said, I was kidding around with you. I do like Superunknown....and it's certainly better than Down on the Upside (and let's not even mention King Animal), but I think it's just a more watered down poppy version of their earlier work. I don't think Superunknown comes even close to the power that Badmotorfinger carries. But, as The Dude would say...."well, that's like, your opinion, man."

I don't think Superunknown comes even close to the power that Badmotorfinger carries. But, as The Dude would say...."well, that's like, your opinion, man." I don't personally feel that Superunknown is the best material they've ever put out because of its commercial success, but one could argue that an artist's most commercially successful album would make it their best work in the regard of that particular perspective. The original context of "best album" was vague to begin with. But as you said, it's a subjective topic, so obviously there can be no factual conclusion one way or the other. The fact that I prefer Superunknown over any of their other work probably has a lot to do with that album being the first album of theirs I got into. I'm certainly not trying to start a fight over the whole thing and it doesn't sound like you are either. This is just a clash of opinions. Badmotorfinger is my 2nd favorite album of theirs and DOTU is 3rd, I just feel that Superunknown was the album that they hit their stride, dynamically and artistically. I really tried to like King Animal but I just don't care for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrum Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 IMO the best are Badmotorfinger, Louder than Love, Superunkown, and then the rest - all the other releases are on par with each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every song is great (other than the singles which are not nearly as good). The picture disc for superunknown is also listed as a single disc. That album is way too long for a single lp.

mxv Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Everybody knows that only MY opinion matters so it is up to me to decide what the best Soundgarden album is. And the answer is it is a tie for the album that has "Black Hole Sun" on it and the one that has their best song, "Blow up the Outside World" on it. I'm too lazy to look up the titles of those albums and my old brain is having trouble remembering the names of said records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannibal Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Why won't Sub Pop do a proper deluxe remastered fancy reissue of the Green River stuff?!?! C'mon already!!! The real reason is, it's just not that great or in demand. The records aren't that rare, like Superunknown, but the PJ collectors and the general interest in that time period and the "Seattle scene" keep the prices up. Still a small pressing run couldn't hurt, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 anyone get this yet? I just placed an order for Mogwai's new LP and saw in my order status that this says Shipped (but no tracking). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 it's not out till 11/26, but it's not totally uncommon for the label to send things out early to those who order directly from them. though I've never gotten something 3 weeks early.
