Product Description
From Amazon.com
This 1991 Seattle supergroup brought together Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron of Soundgarden with the surviving members of Mother Love Bone (Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard) and Eddie Vedder, later of Pearl Jam. The experiment worked. Cornell shines, seeming more comfortable here on this tribute to his former roommate and deceased MLB lead singer Andrew Wood than with his own band. "Hunger Strike" and "Say Hello 2 Heaven" combine glam and grunge better than anything in Love Bone's catalog, while "Wooden Jesus" is less didactic than anything in Pearl Jam's oeuvre. Most of the songs may be about loss and addiction, but this is compelling music for black days. --Charles R. Cross

Quite Possibly The Best Single Rock Album Ever Recorded,
By
This review is from: Temple Of The Dog (Audio CD)
And I say that without the slightest shred of pretense or hype. I bought this CD the day it came out in 1991, and through the ensuing 13+ years it has just kept getting better. I find it frankly mindboggling that anyone lacking the musical sense to appreciate this album would bother reviewing anything but their own reasons for continuing to live. Every single note is deeply emotive and powerful; I can't think of a single album I liked more since, and prior...I'd have to go back to Zeppelin at least, and maybe even to Sgt. Pepper. Knowing the backstory of the album just makes it even more powerful. Those who dismiss it as pretentious or self-absorbed can be no more than emotionally crippled automatons living in a dull gray world of banality and mediocrity; nothing else could explain such an attitude toward this wonderful 55 minutes. When the Stainds and Nicklebacks and Days of the News and Limp Bizkits and Creeds (*spit*) of the world are nothing more than long-forgotten and painful memories of a bad parody of real music, this genuine, heartfelt, quality rock, played from the soul and with ridiculous levels of talent to boot, will remain as the little unheard-of album that set the standard for decades to come. Today's crop of corporate-constructed, mass-produced dreck don't even possess the presence of mind to know that they should pray to whatever diety they hold dear that maybe someday they might get lucky and create something with a thousandth of the power, talent, and value of this incredible album.

Wow, I can't believe no one reviewed it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Temple Of The Dog (Audio CD)
This CD is a bit underground but definately a classic. Even if you don't like 'grunge' this CD still works. It's got a touch of emotion that is often lacking in SG. The melodies are beautiful, the lyrics match. This CD is better than most, if not all, PJ and SG CDs. It's just magical. Suggested tracks: All Night Long, Wooden Jesus, Say Hello 2 Heaven, Call Me a Dog. Solo fans will also like Reach Down. DO NOT BASE THE WHOLE CD ON HUNGER STRIKE! It's no where near the best song on here, it's one of my least favorites. It's practically the only song with Eddie. Actually, I think it the only song with him. Either way, in general, good CD to have.

This Dog Shouldn't Have Been Put To Sleep!,
This review is from: Temple Of The Dog (Audio CD)
A supergroup consisting of members of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog wasn't meant to be a debut CD. It was a tribute, a one-time deal. As a much bigger fan of Soundgarden than Pearl Jam, this CD appeals to me greatly as Cornell fronts just about every song, though Vedder's vocals in Hunger Strike are actually the highlight of the album. Still, I personally think this CD is better than anything that would come from Pearl Jam (though I don't mean to mislead you-this is my opinion and mine alone. MANY would disagree). If I had to compare this album to anything, it would be Cornell's solo album Euphoria Morning. Both show a softer side to Cornell's vocals. If you're like me, you love Cornell's voice whether he's screaming or singly softly and if that's the case, you'll love this CD. If you prefer the louder side of Cornell only, maybe you should stay away. It boggles my mind that there wasn't more acclaim for this album. I've been a Soundgarden fan for a long time, and I hadn't even heard about this CD until last year. Anyway, back to the album, the first track "Say Hello 2 Heaven" was the other single from this album, and it's quite good. Other highlights include "Call Me a Dog" and "Reach Down" though there isn't really a bad track on this album, except for maybe "Wooden Jesus" and I just don't really care for that one. In any case, buy this today. If you don't have any money....well, don't steal the album....maybe steal the money to buy the album???? I'm kidding. Any readers who may be associated with the law, I kid! I kid! Except about the buying the album part. That part I meant. Seriously. I guess I could suggest a solution to the not having money thing that wouldn't be....you know, illegal. Put in some overtime. I know it'll be painful because your job sucks and your boss is always making passes at you, but trust me, this CD is worth it! Seriously.
