Compared to other Soundgarden albums, this one tends to be more raw and bass-heavy than others. It also tends to be a bit more slower and psychodelic than its predicessors, which is why it will take you 3-4 times to really get used to the feel of this release. I honestly didnt care for DOWN ON THE UPSIDE that much after its first two listenings, but being a hardcore Soundgarden fan, I HAD to give it another chance.....And Im glad I did.
PRETTY NOOSE is your typical radio-friendly type of rock with its upbeat tempo, but after that, Chris Cornell & Company take you on a journey through psychadelic songs (BLOW UP THE OUTSIDE WORLD, APPLEBITE, SWITCH OPENS), a punk song (TY COBB), acoustic laidened tracks (BURDEN IN MY HAND and ZERO CHANCE) and my favorite track, NO ATTENTION has the energy and brutality to leave you wanting more.
After listening to the solo release of Chris Cornell, I can see why Soundgarden broke up...This is truely a release that was done completely as a band. You have slower, emotional songs (BOOT CAMP) and heavy rockers (RHINOSAUR) all in the same breath...A very good final studio recording by the best band in the 90s.
Just give it a chance.

After the enjoyable 'Superunknown', Down on the upside lives up to its title. The sound has changed, slower and darker than 'superunkown' it somehow lacks some of the drive and life present in the earlier works. Still a very enjoyable album, buy it if you really liked the early works but wish for something slower along a similar cord.

This album is the goodbye of SG. With kinda melancholic tunes, like "Zero Chance", "Dusty", "Overfloater", "Tighter and Tighter", SG says bye to this POP engineered society. All the tunes are extremely well designed, along with the known gifted voice and lyirics of Chris, amazing Thayil, remarkable Cameron and talented Shepherd, This is the culmination of an era. Featuring "Blow up the Outside World", and "Applebite" (I don't care what ppl say about it, that song is a masterpiece), this album truly gets the nerve out of SG, with more ballads and melancholic songs, this album kick major @$$.-

Not as good as Superunknown- but still one of the best grunge albums...
Down on the upside is perhaps the last great grunge album released in the mid-90s. Soundgarden delivers with Pretty Noose and Blow up the Outside world. Read more

Down on the Upside-Soundgarden
Awesome, one of the best ever

Why anyone is down on this upside is beyond me.
If it almost seems - for a moment - like the hooks on this album are a lot more complex and harder to digest, the production a bit more subdued and somewhat less energetic, and... Read more

great album
This album truly shows that Soundgarden was one of if not the best band to come out of Seattle. Even though songs such as Pretty Noose, Blow Up the Outside World and Burden in My... Read more

Completely underrated-some of Soundgarden's finest!
When reading the previous reviews, I am struck by the fact that people consider this some of soundgarden's lesser work. By all means, this is definitely some of the best. Read more

A Classic In Its Own Right
This album often gets overshadowed by superunknown and that is understandable since superunknown was one of the greatest rock records made. Read more

On the upside it is.....
Soundgarden is a band I've always had mixed emotions about. While on every one of their albums I could find a dose of songs I liked, overall, the albums that came before the one in... Read more

A couple of weak tunes can't spoil this album.
There may be a small chance of my review being slightly inaccurate, because I made the stupid stupid stupid stupid mistake of buying the cassette tape instead of the CD. Read more

The Mighty Soundgarden
Though it wasn't as popular or as critically acclaimed as its predecessor, "Down on the Upside" was a noticeably better, more experimental Soundgarden record. Read more

Very good album
This album, Soundgardens' last, is not as memorable or as exceptionally great as the band's previous four albums. In fact, you could analyse it in comparison as a tired effort. Read more
