I have always been on the fence about this album. At first I thought it was great, excellent, then 'Black Hole Sun' was on MTV more than Coolio was. Of course any overplayed song can ruin an album - and for a while it ruined this one. Listening to it again I realized what the problem is. The songs are all pretty solid and catchy - soundgarden songs shouldn't be catchy - they should be difficult. Obviously the album isn't a waist, the 'superunkown' just sounds a little too familiar.
