This is a very appropriate album image because the weight of this album feels like it could pull you into a daunting darkness with no hope of escape. Chris Cornell being a top tier vocalist should be a surprise to no one and he is of course a high point throughout the tracklist. The instrumentation was caught me more by surprised for how much it kept up with Chris' degree of excellence. There's so many good riffs on the guitar and bass and amazing drum work to accompany it all. The only track I was kind of indifferent about was "Head Down" with everything else on here that was excellent being enjoyable or over too soon to really leave a bad impression. This album is remembered as a tentpole of grunge for a good reason, and it continues to exist as one of the finest rock albums of all time.
