The sad thing is that I listen to that version of the song now and again, just to hear how clean his voice sounds on that high C in the last 10 seconds or so.
no artist has fallen as far from a tune like "beyond the wheel" to an utterly horrible song like "ground zero". it just has never happened before. i can't believe i'm saying that.
What are you nuts?! The Watch Out lyrics could easily fit into an SG song.....
"She lived like a murder but she died...DOIN' 90 IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE!!"
Awesome! You're right, how could I have not initially appreciated the brilliance here. Maybe this new record is just so smart that we can't even begin to comprehend what we're hearing...

As good as Beyond the Wheel is, the guy's written some of the most brilliant songs ever. Burden in My Hand, Outshined, Fell On Black Days, Mind Riot, Loud Love, and many more that he solely wrote in Soundgarden. Not to mention Sunshower and Seasons, if you want a different direction.
this is one step closer for Chris to become the Rod Stewart of our generation
Rod never rocked like Chris. Who was the greatest singer ever that went into experimentation phases and put out questionable albums??? Oh yeah, Robert Plant. We've known all along they are the greatest two singers of hard rock. Luckily for Plant, he didn't have the information super highway in 80s. He would have got ripped for conforming and selling out and accused of everything that is probably true just like Cornell. Of Course, Cornell also comes from the scene that was anti-pop, so he's got that working against him. He's is way more of a song writer, and that may be promising for his future records. I really hope he does put out some more dark albums, because he's the best at that. May be he will, may be not; but if he's "our generation's" anything its Robert Plant.

Beyond the Wheel is not a very good song.

I like this. Never heard it before.
it's safe to say we have very different tastes in music.
Such a fall from grace

I love Soundgarden, but that song is weak. It's a bunch of cheesy heavy metal sillyness; some of the worst lyrics he's written.
the comparison is better as a "how did he get from there to here".

Agreed, cut that one thing out and its not bad.
The song is technically amazing, but that doesn't mean it's an actual good song.
Anything after Badmotorfinger up to DOTU is gold. "Art metal" at its best.
