Album Notes & Community Reviews
Soundgarden's first studio album in 16 years finds the grunge legends aging gracefully without losing their edge. 'King Animal' features the band's signature odd time signatures, heavy riffs, and Chris Cornell's wailing vocals. It fits seamlessly into their discography, feeling less like a reunion cash-grab and more like a natural continuation.
