Never the Machine Forever

[@oldben1800]

FAX....god this album does not get enough love, Tigher and Tighter, Overfloater, Never the Machine Forever...so many

[@ianmurray1173]

DOTU rules 🖤

[@mhlockyer709]

Overfloater off this album might be my favourite Soundgarden song. Definitely give this album a listen.

[@artis1969]

Great song. Very Zeppelinesque.

[@pcplayerreacts1865]

my fav is soundgarden - karaoke , head down , like suicide , limo wreck , mailman , and entering .... but if we are honest ..... every last song they made .... even audioslave which is diff drummer and band but anythingg chris cornell ima sucker for .... also soundgarden black hole sun demo version was recorded by chris cornell only .... including drums bevause he uaed to play before matt cameron joined

[@drewfuss2006]

This album was self produced, with help from Brendan O’Brien who helped mix Superunknown and wasn’t a “producer” at the time in 1996. The album is disjointed as is reflected by the band’s relationship at the time. I prefer to call it eclectic lol. There’s so much going on musically on this album. SG to me were technically light years ahead of most of those contemporaries.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I hear that!

[@tfngodhead]

Adam kasper was the one who mixed down on the upsided it was bredon o brien helped mix superunknown.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

o_O Well, that was jarring!... Soundgarden are on a very short list of bands whose music I consume in album-sized bites.... so I'm off to listen to the whole thing thru again immediately!! LOL Matt's drumming, Ben's bass work, & Kim's lead guitar, in Soundgarden are all criminally underloved imho. It's understandable when you had the best blues-tinged rock vocalist (certainly since Zep ceased) fronting the thing. Always good to see any of the 3 of them shown some appreciation for their efforts. :)

[@mrew42]

And for those of you who don't know (and sorry if it's been mentioned already) Matt drums on Geddy Lee's Solo Album "My Favourite Headache"

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

No problem!!

[@jamesleblanc7437]

This is my favourite SG album. These maniacs put out two double albums in a row and called it quits (then King Animal, of course). This is the Abbey Road of grunge.

[@alltheserobotsshallfall]

as time goes by DOTUS is on the top 2 SG albums with Badmotorfinger. The melancholy is a bit harder but it's a phenomenal album

[@jonathandufern7421]

I love many bands but Sound garden is special. Rip Chris

[@artis1969]

I had a similar experience with this record. I bought it the week it came out, got into what would end up being the singles, and the harder stuff. I never gave it a chance as a total work until they got back together. Once I gave it a chance, it clicked. It's a great record and as good a follow up to a monster album that could be done. The grunge thing was running its course, and at the time it felt like the band had either lost interest or was just plain exhausted. This might hold the record for me for skipping to the next song after 3 seconds because the opening riff didn't grab me. Yet when you take the time, nearly every song's payoff is so worth the patience. I'm still partial to the two previous albums, but DOTU is very much at the same level. Good stuff. I clicked on specifically because you featured a song from this record.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I’m the same. It was already a tired genre by this point TBH. Going back to a lot of 90s stuff is a gold mine for me now

[@artis1969]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums All the labels needed to sign their own version of grunge, so it became massively watered down and ended up nothing like the original movement. It's also important to remember- all these bands said it at the time as well- the Seattle scene had been brewing and allowed to breathe well before the hype machine caught onto it. These were bands that had been allowed the space to play in front of 20-30 people in a dank bar while no one else in the world cared. They were able to hone their sound and become a viable unit onstage. SG and Alice in Chains to me have the best catalogs in terms of standing the test of time. But there were a bunch of good bands beyond the big 4 that did some good stuff.

[@vk3fbab]

It's amazing that some pearl jam fans hate on Matt. Yes he's not insert your favourite drummer of their's but he can play. From all accounts he's actually a great bloke. Plus his backup vocals are awesome.

[@dewiwilliams4821]

To be fair I don't think there's that much hate, but there is a section of fans that love abbruze more. Personally I think he is PJ's best drummer, and the best drummer of the seattle scene. His performances for soundgarden and on temple of the dog are stellar. Saw PJ both nights at Hyde Park London last month and he was phenomenal. It was ridiculous hot with sun beaming straight at him. He sat there, perfect posture throughout, looking like robocop but with sunglasses on and just playing perfectly and making it look easy. He is like 60 now but he still rocks. On top of all that he has contributed creatively in a way the previous PJ drummers didn't. You are from Riot Act is still a pleasure to listen too and his work on Gigaton was sublime.

[@pascalhirt4747]

Saw PJ a few weeks ago in zurich and matt (and also mike!) was the man this evening! What a solid drummer during the entire show! No hate! I really was blown away.

[@dewiwilliams4821]

@@pascalhirt4747 First rate mate 👌

[@vk3fbab]

I was happy when he was filling in and then became a fully fledged member. Loved his recent interview with Rick Beato too. Although not enough talk about his work in PJ.

[@horaceosirian8993]

Matt Cameron laid down the demos for what would become P.earl Jam; he's the FIRST Pearl Jam drummer, the LONGEST Pearl Jam drummer, and by far the BEST Pearl Jam drummer. None of which means five eighths of fuck all, because Pearl Jam SUCKS SHIT, and SOUNDGARDEN INVENTED MUSIC. Pearl Jam victims: ATTACK ME IF YOU DARE. I WILL CRUSH YOU.

[@Torthrodhel]

An early favourite of mine and a song I'd forgot about for a while. Hearing it again it's even better than I remembered it. It's once again among my favourites of theirs. Such an awesome track! I love the slow-down especially! It doesn't stop nor start exactly on the split, it carries on through it, dragging on either tempo in such a deliciously judged way. Love that. And that dropped guitar part in the verses, where it just falls instead of carrying on with the riff (makes that part its own related riff). Nice one. :D First time on the channel, bloomin' eck is that Hummer in the outro? It has to be! I love Pumpkins as well! Ah nice.

[@oldben1800]

UNDERATED ALBUM!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

YUP

[@chadjohnson5577]

Check out soundgarden live at Hyde Park 2012. Jimmy Page is standing by the guitar amps jamming, referring to you saying they were the next step after Led Zepplin. Matt Cameron kills it on every Soundgarden song as far as I'm concerned. My reasons for playing drums are Bill Ward, Ginger Baker, Matt Cameron, and Jimmy Chamberlain from Smashing Pumpkins. All of these guys incorporated jazz into rock and roll and did it great! Thanks Andrew.

[@helmetpig1986]

It's a great album in my taste, kinda hard to surpass Superunknown. I recommend listening to Tighter & Tighter and Overfloater, both are very psychedelic and dark songs.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I'll go back to it Eric

[@PeeGee063]

YES

[@horaceosirian8993]

Switch Opens is unadulterated genius, and Zero Chance breaks my heart.

[@thegoatchild3545]

I definitely recommend giving this album another chance, Andrew. There are some gems on it. And all four of them are phenomenal musicians. I really feel Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd don't get enough credit for how good and original players they are. And Chris......it still hurts that he's gone. The news of his death was like being hit by a truck...😔😢 One of a kind singer.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup hard to believe he's gone. Tortured soul

[@charliekirkpatrick695]

100% agree on giving it more listens. I think it was overlooked as following Superunknown was nigh on impossible, but if released by anyone else would have made a hell of an impact

[@mkaris1484]

This album is flat out awesome and criminally overlooked.

[@BayouMaccabee]

Man..."Down On the Upside" is a great album. It's probably my 2nd favorite Soundgarden album behind "Badmotorfinger". "Superunknown" is actually my fourth favorite behind "Louder Than Love" (3rd).

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Badmotorfinger is the jam!

[@BayouMaccabee]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Indeed. However, Soundgarden didn't release any bad albums. I really like, or love, all of them.

[@horaceosirian8993]

Louder than LOVE (originally Louder than FUCK) is piss weak, aside from I Awake, Hands All Over, and Full On Kevin's Mum.

[@theend2353]

I always loved this album. It was constantly in my cd changer in the car and home. Give it another listen it’s really creative.

[@toddlawrance4045]

Love "Down On The Upside". Have a go at "Burden In My Hand", Matt does a very tasty snare roll towards the end of the tune & he grooves like crazy.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Todd!

[@toddlawrance4045]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Also, I don't know if anyone's hipped you to King's X; the song Talk To You from the "Faith, Hope, Love" album has an interesting off-kilter rhythm to it, Jerry Gaskill is an incredible drummer & sings harmonies with Doug (Dug) Pinnick and Ty Tabor (bass and guitar respectively). Amazing three-piece band.

[@jonathanbrody4119]

Great song Matt wrote this tune too

[@russellekeeth1901]

Badmotorfinger is one of the greatest albums of the nineties. Superunknown (and the albums thereafter) don't even come close.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Far more raw. Superunknown was too refined for me. And angular. I liked the muscularity of Badmotorfinger

[@chillmonster5857]

Yup!! Down on the UpSide has a tonne of good songs on it.. Rock & Roll Forever!!

[@tapsX3]

In my drummer opinion, Matt Cameron’s best drumming is Temple of the Dog, Your Savior. His drums make that song pop.

[@nodaysback8390]

I agree with ur "grunge was dead by this time" assessment, Andrew. The real-hey-day lasted until about '94, then it lost all the Grunge! Facelift, Badmotorfinger, Ten, Temple Of The Dog, Nevermind, Dirt, Vs., Core, In Utero, Jar Of Flies, Purple, Superunknown

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

It was a real small window in reality. I still love the golden period though. It was very uncool to like Nirvana for example quite quickly because they were so massive

[@nodaysback8390]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Nirvana was my least favorite of the big grunge dogs.. STP is technically not a grunge band, bcs that term was coined in Seattle, describing Seattle bands in particular. But, STP was making some great music at the same time and it had that same "Grunge Thing" going on, regardless of where they lived.. Their first two records stand up with all of those bands. But, after a couple records each and a boatload of money, they all started losing the authenticity of the lifestyle that created the genre. It's just not the same when you have to rip holes in your brand new clothes and scuff up your new doc martens to age them.. loll

[@bryonshuttt436]

He was amazing in Temple of the dog 🐕

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

One of THE best albums ever. EVER.

[@MissingMars]

I feel that it's click perfect ..... you can prolly set a metronome to it, the changes in musicality are what gives you the impression of pulling & pushing, which is brilliant.

[@billyhughes9776]

Love this song -- Matt wrote this one (the music anyway). If you ever go back to check more Soundgarden I highly recommend the '92 Lollapalooza Seattle performance of Jesus Christ Pose. Watching Matt play that drum part live at speed is just phenomenal to watch. Regarding their use of click -- at least for SuperUnknown Michael Beinhorn (producer) said they would lead into a song with a click but turn it off for the duration of the recording.

[@Liverastic]

Click track was used on 2 tracks on Badmotorfinger, including the first half of Rusty Cage and then some tracks on King Animal. But that’s it for Matt with Soundgarden.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Wow! Thanks for the info

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

Yeah, this one took me a while to get into as well but there are some absolute goddamned bangers on it as well. The first half is all of the more accessible tracks, then the second half is the weirder and more experimental stuff. Boot Camp is an incredible closer, too. The last track on King Animal kinda gave me a feel similar to it, kinda weird and takes a long time to build.

[@Littleneddygtw]

Love it.

[@PeeGee063]

Don’t forget Chris Cornell was the original drummer for the band. Very early on but he had to make a choice. He found it difficult to be both vocalist & play drums.

[@justingoulet9714]

Chris Cornell great voice powerful grooves one of the few grunge bands l liked. He is tight in the pocket

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great Justin!

[@redrobin8544]

[@louielouie494]

The riff in this reminds me heavily of that one part in dazed and confused

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Right on!

[@jerkerjansson386]

According to Matt Cameron he did use a click on the King Animal album and on two tracks on Badmotorfinger (Room A Thousand Years Wide and the major part of Rusty Cage up until the tempo shift and the outro). The rest is recorded with no clicks.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for the info. Room a thousand years wide is a fave of mine :)

Vocals are an instrument, not just when it is done by an all time great like Chris Cornell.

[@drewfuss2006]

Would be great to hear you do a full album reaction of this album as well as Ultramega Ok. As a massive SG fan I feel that both of those are criminally underrated in the bands discography.

[@drewfuss2006]

Side note if you do re listen to Ultramega Ok I HIGHLY RECOMMEND listening to the remastered reissue. Normally not a fan of such treatments to albums but in this case it was warranted as the original production was not great at all. Jack Endino and Sub Pop did a bang up job with this one though. The band could finally be happy with the production.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Wow thanks for that info!

[@Jehzar]

I don't think they used a ckick either ('ve whatched and read a ton of interviews by now and can't remember). But then, they had Matt and Chris, who where quite some human metronomes themselves.

[@tomasfrkal6362]

Nice! Matt Cameron is great. He's also in Pearl Jam. But I have to say that I liked Dave Abbruzzese a lot more in Pearl Jam. Andrew, if you don't know him, you should listen to him :) Great and creative drummer, groovy and jazzy.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Hey Tomáš. Dave Abbruzzese is a BEAST. I did a massive analysis on him. It got blocked! Available on Patreon. Unreal player

[@artis1969]

I'm not a drummer, but I often think Cameron must get bored playing PJ songs when his stuff with SG seems so much more challenging and satisfying within the dynamics of each band.

Badmotorfinger and Superunknown were massive Albums for me . I was a bit old to really notice "grunge" until a younger friend ,colleague and drummer gave me a " tape" he'd compiled .. It included My Wave , Black hole sun and Spoonman. I was hooked. I have about 20 go to CD'S( out of hundreds I own) I play constantly in my van . Superunknown is one , along with Hemispheres. Back in black. Master of Realty . Synchronicity. Breakfast in America. Jagged little pill . Pictures at an exhibition. Foxtrot. Led Zep 4 .....and so on . I don't like " grunge " as a label because how can you put Nirvana , Soundgarden and Alice in chains in the same basket along with Pearl Jam and Stone temple pilots ? All fantastic bands but also so different . It's like putting Zeppelin and Sabbath together . They're both legendary but very different . Thankfully . Peace and love brother ✌ 💚

Badmotorfinger and Superunknown are burned into my brain. Stone old classics from that early 90s era. Down on the Upside has some great singles, but as an album, prob a few songs too long for me. I've also got a soft spot for Temple of the Dog, which also features Matt Cameron on drums. However, if we're going to talk about early to mid-90s, it's time to bring on Jimmy Chamberlain.

[@elfdogre2181]

I'll have to agree with you about "falling out of love a bit" with Soundgarden after Super Unknown. Still enjoy their music, but seemed Chris Cornell went solo and/or did side projects for a bit and Soundgarden disappeared from my radar. I don't even remember this album being released. When Chris and the band reunited, it was cool, but the sound they produced at this time seemed off from their previous iteration.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes I'm just being brutally honest. It felt tired by this point (at the time). Listening now... this is a banger!

[@buzzbomb67]

Matt always makes me think of a mix of Bonham and Ward … more so Ward on the earlier stuff and Bonham later. He’s an excellent player! I agree, Andrew … for me, any Soundgarden up to Badmotorfinger is amazing! Deep Six, and FOPP EP are rawer, looser and less focused, experimenting with their sound. Screaming Life EP is still experimenting but much more focused on the slower heavier Sabbath/late-Black Flag thing they became known for. Ultramega OK is them having found their sound, and working out the details. Louder Than Love and Badmotorfinger are THE Soundgarden … like Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets and … And Justice For All are THE Metallica. Theyre the band that made it famous and are exploring the sound and energy that made them that way. Superunknown is kinda like their black album… still the same band, but theyve moved past the sound that made them famous and are exploring more accessible territory. Down On The Upside was an extension of the direction of the previous, but almost kinda trying to revisit the energy they had prior to it, a great way to go out! Anything after that was good, and had some bright moments, but just wasnt THE Soundgarden.
