Produced by Terry Date, their producer for their previous album, Louder Than Love, Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden's third studio album, was originally scheduled for release on September 24th, 1991. The record company, A&M pushed it back to October 8th, 1991, due to “production issues”. Many who follow ’90s “grunge”, and many who’ve listened to my podcasts, know this time period consisted of album releases that would change the landscape of music forever.
And this did not just apply to that genre dubbed “grunge”. The album was released 6 weeks after Pearl Jam’s Ten, and two weeks after Nirvana’s Nevermind and Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, which were both released on the same day, September 24th, 1991. What an unbelievable span of a few weeks for music.
In addition to the three mentioned radio singles, Badmotorfinger is stacked with a significant amount of quality, “deep” tracks. It’s hard for me to pick my favorite.
