Temple of the Dog

For: $12.70

This 1991 Seattle supergroup brought together Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron of Soundgarden with the surviving members of Mother Love Bone (Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard) and Eddie Vedder, later of Pearl Jam. The experiment worked. Cornell shines, seeming more comfortable here on this tribute to his former roommate and deceased MLB lead singer Andrew Wood than with his own band. "Hunger Strike" and "Say Hello 2 Heaven" combine glam and grunge better than anything in Love Bone's catalog, while "Wooden Jesus" is less didactic than anything in Pearl Jam's oeuvre. Most of the songs may be about loss and addiction, but this is compelling music for black days. --Charles R. Cross

From: Amazon Posted: May 28, 2008 Type: User Review "Love was my drug but that's not what I died of."

Although numerous journalists, reviewers and aficionados have a penchant for dubbing Temple of the Dog the finest album that either Chris Cornell or Eddie Vedder have ever worked on, there lies an element of misguided truth in all the bluster. read full review | report as inappropriate

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 29, 2008 Type: User Review ESSENTIAL GRUNGE CLASSIC....

In Seattle, the grunge movement had already gone underway a few years before it was made a national phenomemnon in the early nineties. These earlier years of the Seattle scene were alot less produced, and alot more underground sounding. Also, they...

This album is a classic for those who enjoy grunge music, or the "Seattle sound". A wonderful combination between two of its greatest bands.

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 14, 2007 Type: User Review two words: chris cornell

Even though Temple of the Dog began as a tribute side project in the memory of Andrew Wood and only put out one studio album, it is definitely worth listening to - especially if you dig Mr. Chris Cornell, formerly of Soundgarden and Audioslave or...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 27, 2007 Type: User Review A solid effort

Cornell was better with both Soundgarden and Audioslave, but this is definitely better than his solo career material and worth a purchase if you're a fan of Soundgarden or Pearl Jam.

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 21, 2007 Type: User Review Great start, but weighed down in the end by the grunge of Seattle

The highlights of this album are probably the best Seattle-based stuff to come out in the whole Seattle-fixation era, and maybe that's because this was a release done out of heart-felt effort.

The back story is quite well known by...

Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder at their best, in the grunge band days before they became mainstream.

This is one of my favorite cd's. I am very bummed that this is the only cd they released. "Wooden Jesus" is fantastic, and of course "Hunger Strike" is great! I have a really hard time mentioning just a few songs because all of them are...
