A remarkable development of their sound, "Manic" by Wage War demonstrates their skill at fusing metalcore with experimental components. The album begins with "Relapse," a strong song that captivates listeners with its catchy chorus and moving performance, laying the groundwork for an incredible adventure. Songs like "High Horse" and "Circle The Drain" are particularly noteworthy because they skillfully combine melody and aggression, showcasing the band's range and compositional ability. This album is worth the listen 10/10

I love this album to death, man. It was honestly my gateway into a lot of Metal, Grunge, and Alice in Chains' discography, and everything about it is so damn awesome. The riffs are sludgy, yet catchy, and they combine perfectly with Layne Staley's immaculate singing abilities. There's a couple gripes I have with this album; mostly the drumming and the Glam rock Influence wasn't for me. As well as some parts about the production and overall sound I feel like haven't aged very well. But everything else is so great that even with those downfalls I have no problem listening to this album for hours, cause I just can't get enough of Layne's singing and catchy hooks, Cantrell's catchy riffs, and even just the overall angst of the album really pulls me in.

One of Soundgarden's best albums, Badmotorfinger stands out as a highlight of the grunge era of heavy metal. Kim Thayil's riffs and Chris Cornell's vocals blend perfectly, creating an unforgettable sound. I wouldn't change a thing about this record.

Badmotorfinger is not just an album; it's a defining moment in rock and metal history. Soundgarden's ability to push boundaries while maintaining their distinct identity makes this record a timeless classic. Whether you're a long-time fan or just a guy who likes to listen to music casually, Badmotorfinger is an essential listen that continues to inspire and captivate people to this day.
