Ultramega OK album for sale Product Description
Ultramega OK album for sale by Soundgarden was released Oct 25, 1990 on the SST label. Soundgarden's first full-length release, 1988's ULTRAMEGA OK, showed that there was more than met the eye to this fast-rising Seattle quartet. The group's first two releases, the EPs SCREAMING LIFE and FOPP, were both straight-ahead sludge rock, but ULTRAMEGA OK broadened the musical scope. While monolithic garage riffing and punk's messy energy were still both integral parts of the sound, healthy doses of punk and heavy metal were now added to the rich mix as the group's songwriting and instrumental prowess improved greatly. ...See Full Description

| Not the best, but good This record wasn't as good as Louder Than Love, but its alright, a lot less commercial than all the other records. By Ryan (Middletown, Ohio) |
| Wheels Go Driving Slow Not as commercial and direct as Superunknown, but geez, this gotta be the best Soungarden's album before grunge gained popularit... just listen to screams at 3:45 on "Smokestack Lightning"... Chris Cornell hits the higher notes of all his carrer. By gnzlrvs (Lima, SU, PE) |
| THE REAL SOUNDGARDEN This is my fav. Soundgarden album along with Louder Than Love, Its Raw ,Heavy and Dark , and has an engery they never captured in there later albums a young Soundgarden before they were well know. By zeppelin69 (Indianapolis,IN.) |
| Ultramega awesome, OK? 'Ultramega OK' is such a great record. It deserved its Grammy nomination and for a more bluesy side to Soundgarden, this is the album to get. By Chrissy (Woodinville, WA, USA) |
| Ahead Of Their Time...Really Before this came out,most rock was getting boring and old-Along comes Soundgarden who had creative control over their music(almost unheard of then)and some cool graphic artists working for them,and they changed indie rock for good-Very influential to say the least;it seemed like it was finally okay to feel bummed out sometimes-Great bass and drums,the guitar is quite abrasive,and Chris Cornell's vocals are AMAZING!!!-Get this along with Louder Than Love for a complete experience beyond words. By Twinkles (From Downtown(Missouri)) |

Down on the Upside CD (1996)
Ultramega OK album for sale "Pretty Noose" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
They still come armed with their trademark guitar rumble and Chris Cornell's bellowing vocals. But once again, as on 1994's SUPERUNKNOWN, Soundgarden use their Led Zeppelin roots and Black Sabbath might as springboards toward melodic structure and instrumental experimentation not normally associated with bands this heavy.
DOWN ON THE UPSIDE begins with "Pretty Noose," a swirling magma of guitar tones not unlike those generated by fellow Seattlites Alice In Chains. But Soundgarden avoids the typical grunge ruts. Guitarist Kim ...

Louder Than Love CD (1990) Top Seller
Ultramega OK CD music Soundgarden was one of several late-'80s Seattle bands to sign to a major label, as A&M issued the band's second full-length effort, 1989's LOUDER THAN LOVE. While it wasn't the big commercial breakthrough the group had hoped for (that would come with Soundgarden's exceptional follow-up, 1991's BADMOTORFINGER), LOUDER THAN LOVE did a solid job of introducing the quartet to both the alternative and metal crowds. The late-'80s metal scene was glutted with disposable glam bands, which Soundgarden was a much-needed reaction against (the group even pokes fun at the genre with ...

Screaming Life/Fopp CD (1990)
Ultramega OK buy CD music As Soundgarden began to create a buzz by the summer of 1990 (due largely in part to the group's excellent 1989 major-label debut, LOUDER THAN LOVE), Soundgarden's original label, Sub Pop, issued this compilation of two of the band's first EPs. SCREAMING LIFE/FOPP shows the band in its formative stages--while most of the tracks aren't on par with the band's future classics, plenty of highlights are included. If you're a fan of Soundgarden's more straight-ahead material, SCREAMING LIFE/FOPP is highly recommended. "Hunted Down" contains one of the band's heaviest riffs of all time, while "Little Joe" shows that the band's pop sensibilities were already taking shape. ...
