Soundgarden – Badmotorfinger (12-Inch Vinyl)

Released on 8 October 1991, Badmotorfinger is the third studio album by Soundgarden. The album maintained the band’s heavy sound while featuring an increased focus on songwriting as compared with the band’s previous releases. Alternative tunings and odd time signatures were present on several of the album’s songs, and lyrics were intended to be ambiguous and create imagery.

Badmotorfinger was released a month and a half after Pearl Jam’s Ten and within weeks of Nirvana’s Nevermind and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik, all of which helped to break alternative rock and grunge into the mainstream.

Badmotorfinger included the singles Jesus Christ Pose, Outshined, and Rusty Cage. The three singles gained considerable airtime on alternative rock radio stations, while the videos for Outshined and Rusty Cage gained considerable airtime on MTV.
