One of those revered albums that I just don’t get. Soundgarden has been on the forefront of both the Grunge and Alt Metal movements, and consistently sprinkle in Stoner Metal influence to give themselves a groovy, but occasionally lethargic sound. Badmotorfinger is really where they get their act together, but despite playing in a still fresh genre, Soundgarden already have real trouble standing out.
The fact is, there isn’t anything in this album that grabs me. The riffs aren’t catchy nor are they sharp, just kind of groovy but without soul. The rhythm section is lethargic most of the time, and the vocals are classic yarl vocals that I personally don’t like at all. They don’t really go all out in any direction, sometimes it’s kind of anxious, sometimes it’s more chill, but it’s never doing anything stronger or better than contemporaries. The lyrics are just kind of there, and there aren’t any anthemic or memorable hooks. No memorable anything really.
It’s fine for what it is. I’m not a big fan of Grunge or Stoner so I’ve got my biases. I don’t dislike it at all, just don’t find anything in it worthy of the acclaim it gets.

tretie album "Badmotorfinger" pokračuje v smere predošlých dvoch, aj keď piesne sú už viac komplexnejšie. Hudba sa pohybuje medzi Grunge a Garage/Psychadellic/Alternative Rock -u s občasnými prvkami Noise. Nie je to zlé, ale ani nič výrazné, dosť ťahavé. Skôr priemer a možno viac to funguje na koncertoch, než na albume.

그런지의 정수라고 평가해도 되겠습니다. 그것이 곧 매력의 정도를 의미한다거나 완벽함을 증명하는 수사라고는 생각하지 않습니다만, 어쨌든 그런지의 정중앙을 관통하는 사운드가 있습니다. 크리스코넬의 울부짖음도 형태를 갖추어내니, 전작들의 그것이 의미없는것으로 남아버린 느낌입니다. 그런지의 팬이라면 마다할 이유가 없는데 아니라면 쳐지기만 할.

For me, this is one of the most passionate and captivating albums from the 90s grunge and Seattle bands. The songwriting is perfect and plays off the cultural signifiers in the blues, rock, & metal melodies as well as the gospel tones in Chris's voice. The song structures make me feel like an extremely dramatic plot is unfolding. I also hear a lot of control & nuance in the execution. I fully love this one.

평단에서 높은 평가를 받는 앨범이지만, 놀라울정도로 취향에 맞지 않음. 아마도 개인적으로 가장 중요시하는 기타리프가 매력적으로 다가오지 않기 때문인듯.

4대 그런지 펄잼,너바나, 엘리스인체인스,사운드가든 앨범중 가장 최고라고 생각하는 앨범.
아직까지 내 기준으로 이 앨범을 넘는 그런지 앨범은 없다.

사운드가든은 Superunknown 이 유명하지만 이 앨범이 없었다면 절대로 Superunknown 은 히트하지 못했을 것이다. Fopp 앨범부터 다 소장하고 있는 나름 사운드가든빠인데, 개인적으로는 사운드가든 하면 Badmotorfinger 이 앨범이 최고다. 3 번 듣다가 진짜 크리스 코넬 보컬에 지렸다. 물론 최고의 곡은 4번 ㅎㅎㅎ
