11/04/2021 - Since writing this review, I have come regard this album as a 5 out of 5. It appears that a remastered edition of the record has fixed some of the production issue I felt negatively impacted headphone listening. This is one of the best records Chris Cornell has ever put out.

----- Badmotorfinger is an ear-bleed inducing balls to the wall heavy trip from start to finish. Cornell pushes his vocals to the absolute limit of their range and distortion abilities. Despite being the album that brought Soundgarden into the mainstream, the song writing is better than anything else they had done as a group until then. Specifically, this album has a unique way of utilizing Cornell’s vocal leads to resolve the dissonant riffs and accompaniment.

The album’s only downside is the dated production choices which negatively affects earphone listening. But this is easily overcome when playing the album on a good stereo system.
