I don't see how Chris Cornell writing the hits backs up your statement that DotU was practically a Cornell solo album. So what your saying is, songs like Boot Camp, Tighter & Tighter, and Dusty are examples of Soundgarden trying to sound like themselves but failing? Does this hold true to Applebite as well?

Soundgarden's career was one big progression. No two albums sound the same. It was Cornell's show after Superunknown? I don't think so. It was a BAND EFFORT. This isn't Smashing Pumpkins were talking about. Everyone contributed to the overall sound.
