SOUNDGARDEN: Superunknown Vinyl 2LP

1994 was a year that broke a lot of things, but Superunknown was the record that proved grunge had more room in it than anyone had assumed.

Eight minutes of "Black Hole Sun", the lurching drop-D madness of "Spoonman", the genuinely terrifying psychedelic spiral of "Like Suicide", all sitting inside a double record that runs for over an hour and earns every minute. Chris Cornell's voice was doing things here that still don't have a clean explanation, and Kim Thayil's guitar work was pulling from Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin while sounding like neither. This is not a nostalgia purchase. Superunknown on vinyl is the way the record was meant to be heard, wide and heavy and slightly overwhelming. A cornerstone of the alternative and grunge canon, on 2LP for people who take their dark rock seriously.
