So this post is a little late, seeing as how Telephantasm was released over a month ago, but I still wanted to put in my two cents.

Now, I love Soundgarden and have been fans of theirs for the last 20 years. I’m uber-excited that they’ve reunited, and I’m hoping that I can catch a show if they tour, which I certainly hope they do. I’ve followed the individual careers of each band member after they broke up, and I’ve collected all their music.

And that is why I’m very disappointed with Telephantasm.

Over the years, purchasing singles and soundtracks, and finding rare tracks, I know the depth of their music catalog, and I find it underwhelming that that album only had one new track for those of us who had all their commercially released albums.

Black Rain was a good track, but hardly worth buying Telephantasm for. So for those of you who are curious, here’s a list of what I have collected. I’ve actually put them into compilations myself, so they’re ordered as such. A couple are solely Cornell tracks, but I thought I’d throw them in anyhow.
