Before this album, Soundgarden were just another heavy metal band playing post-zeppelin rock. But that all changed when they released Badmotorfinger in 1991. The grunge scene was about to explode into the mainstream and this album took Soundgarden with it. Badmotorfinger established them at the top of the alternative music heap along with the likes of Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
And you can see why. It's a fast, hard, heavy rock masterpiece from start to finish. With classic tunes such as Rusty Cage, Outshined, Jesus Christ Pose, Slaves and Bulldozers. This album will rock your socks off. It's extremely accessible to both metal and traditional rock fans which makes it such an instant classic. One of the best albums to come ... Read More:

Soundgarden's breakthrough album "Badmotorfinger" was released at the height of the Seattle Sound/grunge phenomenon and is amongst the finest albums produced during that era, however those expecting an easy radio friendly ride of a record along the lines of their contemporaries such as Nirvana's "Nevermind" and Pearl Jam's "Ten" will find this quite a different beast. It is one of the stranger albums to have ever garnered mainstream success, but whilst it starts off as something of an acquired taste, it is well worth persisting with as once you get it you'll love it.
Soundgarden's sound on this record is a soup of Sabbath-esque 70's metal, blues, classic rock with a splash of punkier energy and some experimental noise thrown in for good ... Read More:

This is my favourite soundgarden album, it is awesome. It's got the energy of their early albums (without the 80s metal feel - although the lyrics on rusty cage are a bit cheesy!) and the inventiveness of the later ones. Most of the songs are pretty heavy, and the album has got an exciting, cathartic feel to it - it manages to be nice and heavy without being aggressive, which is cool! Also, it is of course good to hear a bunch of talented musicians, especially matt cameron (the drummer, who is definitely one of those musician rather than just timekeeping drummers) and chris cornell's vocals. His singing on slaves and bulldozers is amazing, when the pitch goes up and up but still sounds powerful - yeah man!! well cool.

Quite why someone would have the gall not to give this the big 5 is beyond me. Grunge, metal, heavy rock? Who cares? A PHENOMENAL album. Still sounds as fresh today in 2007 as it did then. Cornell? What a F*****' voice. Born too late for the accolades he deserves. 5 stars above a 5 star rating. I have never known how to 'position' this album. Grunge? Erm, well shall we say Nirvana and SG are the same? Sound the same? Ultramega Ok and early Nirvana, well maybe. But this. This isn't some 'off the shelf' grunge effort. This is a cross-rock boundary effort of some greatness. Well, cross-rock when talking of stupid metal, grunge, hardcore, whatever bollocks. This is one of the greatest, guitar playin', undisputed singing, rock albums ever. Your 50/60 ... Read More:

soundgarden the alternitive metal band who made great albums and chris made a great album with a band called "temple of a dog" and that album sounds a bit like this one grungy/metal and great songs with fantastic lyrics by chris..it's an hype that should get more hype because it's nearly started the grunge revolution but that was left up too nirvana too blow open all the doors and knock the poodles of there perches
this album features the excellent song "rusty cage" plus "jesus christ pose" and seeing chris with long hair is great it's a shame he didn't keep it.. oh well nevermind
soundgarden rule the airways for grunge
