that is one thing and one thing only. a mad cash grab attempt. it's not like anyone else in soundgarden has had to whore themselves out to the radio like that for a buck.

'euphoria morning' might be boring to listen to compared to 'badmotorfinger' but at least it came off as a legitimate attempt on cornell's behalf to stretch himself artistically and try his hand at being a proper singer / songwriter. but that above link has NOTHING to do with musical progression and everything to do with money. maybe he's got crazy debts or something, who knows.

either way, you can sit there and deny the fact that cornell has jumped the shark in a big way all you want in an attempt to maintain the idea that grunge pioneers are somehow infallible but it's not going to change the fact that the tune i linked up there WILL be on an album with his name in the not too distant future.

if anything i'd say courtney love has stuck to her roots more than chris cornell.
