Don't get me wrong, I still love his voice, but he can't hit that upper register anymore. Although Soundgarden's harder stuff like "Beyond the Wheel" kicked ass too, so maybe it's good they all explored their own sounds.Īnd yeah mgb, Chris could rip the roof off the ceiling with his highs back then. Pearl Jam's "Ten" might be as good as this one, but in my mind no other album from them or any of the other groups that followed was as good as this one. This is one of the best albums ever, IMO.
Can you imagine Chris and Eddie trading off on vocals (either on the same song or taking their own songs to lead on), Chris prolly writing the lyrics (sorry Eddie) or at least most of them, and Ament, Cameron, McCready, and Gossard all rocking out behind them?įUUUUUUUUUUCK. That's almost a who's who of grunge royalty! Or at least Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Mother Love Bone. Imagine if they reunited now! Check out this f'n lineup: General CommentTemple of the Dog was a supergroup with the exception that none of them had yet achieved the fame they would go on to get in the following years.

"But it's on the table, The fire is cooking" - cooking and serving food of animal origin, "farming babies" - rearing young specifically to be killed and eaten.
Taking a more literal interpretation of the lyrics, the overall theme of food and a hunger strike could be seen as a protest against the treatment of animals for the food industry. The lyrics of the song remind me of human abuse of animals for meat (and dairy) production. in the 3rd world), but i'd also like to add a different interpretation of the song. General CommentI agree that this song is about people in positions of power and wealth exerting dominance over those less well of than ourselves (e.g.
