  • In regards to Been Away Too Long, it really has a Down on the Upside kind of feel to it. I'm digging it upon first listen.

    Musically it reminds me more of PJ than SG! It has very Ole-esque run downs etc. I think it would fit quite nicely onto Binaural with songs like Gods' Dice and Evacuation!

    I've learned to see and I know I'm going higher."

    Love it WAAAAY more for Matty's kick ass drum grooves then the vocals...
    Looking forward to this album, hope the whole thing isn't as over-produced as "Been Away Too Long"
    Nice to have new SG to listen too and more to look forward to...

    It's great to hear Matt kick it up a notch, that's for sure.

    Thanks for link! Well it's a lot better than Live to Rise, but I'm not sure if I like it. Hopefully it will grow on me?!

    You're welcome! I enjoyed this song and I agree, Been Away Too Long is better than Live To Rise. For this to be their first single for an actual album in like 16 years, I believe its a sign of things to come on King Animal and its quite impressive for any band to do that. Been Away Too Long is a good song, I don't think its great, but there is 12 other songs on the album.

    Still haven't made my mind up about the single. It's definitely better than Live To Rise though and it is growing on me.

    The best thing is it inspired me to crank Superunknown earlier :D

    The song sounds awesome. Matt Cameron kills it on the drums. Can't wait for the new album!

  • the more i listen... this is absolutely CLASSIC soundgarden sound with some new twists... the "no one knows me, no one saves me" part is just classic any day sg... and the end bridge "kilos in keyholes" is pure psychedelic sg and easily the best part of the song... in fact that part is amazing.
