Manage episode 463482231 series 3572709
Badmotorfinger is the third studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on October 8, 1991, through A&M Records.[5] Soundgarden began the recording sessions for the album with new bassist Ben Shepherd in the spring of 1991. The album maintained the band's heavy metal sound, while featuring an increased focus on songwriting compared to the band's previous releases. AllMusic considered the album's music to be "surprisingly cerebral and arty"; alternative tunings and odd time signatures were present on several of the album's songs, and lyrics were intended to be ambiguous and evocative.
The focus on the Seattle grunge scene helped bring attention to Badmotorfinger, and the singles "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage" found a major audience in rock radio and MTV.
Badmotorfinger has been classified by various critics as grunge,[7][8] alternative metal,[9] heavy metal[10] and hard rock.
