Product Details
Superunknown arrived in March 1994 at a moment when Seattle's grip on rock was absolute, but Soundgarden pushed well past grunge orthodoxy here, weaving in psychedelia, jazz-inflected time signatures, and Chris Cornell's four-octave voice into something far stranger and more ambitious than their peers were attempting. Kim Thayil's detuned, sludge-heavy guitar work and Matt Cameron's rhythmic complexity gave the record a density that rewarded repeated listening across decades.
In 2014 we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Soundgarden's massive album Superunknown which to date has sold 9 million albums worldwide and is certified five times platinum by the RIAA in the US. Both a critical and commercial success, in 1994 Superunknown debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and earned the band two Grammys® for the singles 'Black Hole Sun' and 'Spoonman' in 1995. As relevant today as they were in 1994, the multi-platinum-selling Soundgarden continues to be in the Top 10 most played artists on Active Rock radio and the band's top 4 most played radio songs - accumulating over 1 million in total airplay and 4 billion in total audience to date - are all from this very beloved album: 'Black Hole Sun', 'Fell on Black Days', 'Spoonman' and 'The Day I Tried To Live'. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked the album as one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and the 100 Greatest Albums of the Nineties.
