Editorial Reviews
Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Down On The Upside is the fifth studio album by Soundgarden, released on May 21, 1996 through A&M Records. It is the band's third album with bassist Ben Shepherd. Following a worldwide tour in support of it's previous album, Superunknown (1994), Soundgarden commenced work on this release. The music on the album was notably less heavy than the group's preceding albums and featured the band experimenting with other sounds. The band took a slot on the 1996 Lollapalooza tour and afterward supported the album with a worldwide tour. Down On The Upside would end up becoming Soundgarden's final studio album for 16 years as tensions within the band led to it's break-up in April 1997. The album's title comes from lyrics in the fourth track "Dusty."

Down On The Upside, as the first reviewer put it so well, crystallizes absolutely everything about the band that I love, goes further than any other album, and somehow pulls it off in such a confident, swaggering way that it's breathtaking. The timbre. The mix. The ensemble of instruments they put together. The newfound staggering power & muscle of the playing. Matt's drumming sounds noticeably more crisp & forceful than ever, somehow. The recording quality is outstanding. Chris' voice never sounded better. I could go on & on & on - the songwriting is in a different league, more mature, taking you on a more deliberate & impressive travel to a musical destination, rather than just bashing out creative riffs "but, harder." It's hard to fathom any other album with so many different styles of "five-star" sounds all in the same set-list. Burden In My Hand, Dusty, Tighter & Tighter, all worthy of "epic" "wow!" "phenomenal" titles. There are no weak tracks. The rockers are smoking. The moody stuff broods and builds & draws you in. The happy stuff feels exuberant, almost. The punk influenced stuff doesn't have to make any apologies. The quintessential Zep-No-Soundgarden! track "Tighter & Tighter" takes the band to where we always knew they could reach in sublime, benchmarking fashion. "Boot Camp" as other reviewers have noted has the peculiar and somewhat magical effect that when it's playing, it doesn't grab you or hook you, or seem to all that memorable in any way. But then you find yourself, of all 16 tracks, quietly singing it to yourself days later after just a few listens. Kinda spooky .
It's hard to overstate my opinion of this cd. I missed it (only 20 years or so?) because after Superunknown, I'd written them off as gone the way of the dollars, and figured Down On The Upside was more of the same. How wrong I was.
"HOLY S*** how did they...?"
It’s a letdown like Houses of the Holy was a letdown compared to LZ4, A Farewell to Kings to 2112... get it?

Amazon shipped it fast and it arrived in perfect condition.
If you're a fan of Soundgarden, grab this if you haven't already.
Sobre el disco en si, decir que fue el último disco que editaron Soundgarden antes de separarse y supuso una vuelta de tuerca al sonido de la banda tras una apisonadora sónica como el Badmotorfinger y tras el barroquismo grandilocuencia de Superunknown. En Down from, los temas son menos colaborativos sino que los miembros del grupo aportaban sus temas por lo que es menos conexo que el Superunknown y además intenta huir de la contundencia guitarrera del Grupo. Es un muy buen disco al que solo le pesan dos cosas: la primera seria la sombra de los dos discos anteriores de la banda y la segunda que al ser tan variado y tener encima 16 temas resulta algo dispersó y resulte algo largo. Quizás recortando los temas a los 12 o 13 mejores estaríamos ante otro disco sobresaliente.
La reedición en si... Tras las reticencias decir que es perfecta. La carpeta luce genial, los discos son de 180gr y de negro clásico. A nivel de sonido, me se el álbum de memoria en CD y sinceramente gana enteros en vinilo. No puedo comparar con su edición original pero tanto si no lo tenéis en ningún otro formato como si lo tenéis ya en CD es una compra muy pero muy recomendada. Es más, estoy considerando hacerme con la reedición del Superunknown.
