The album is due Sept. 21, with the first single, "Can't Change Me," set to arrive at radio in August. Pearl Jam bassist/ Three Fish member Jeff Ament has heard the album. "If you can imagine Soundgarden making a Seal record, that's what it would be like," Ament explained. He added that it was "really, really produced" and the songs are in the same vein as "Sunshower," the Cornell solo track off the 1998 soundtrack album from Great Expectations. Cornell is contemplating doing some dates to preview the album. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 00:26:30 -0600 From: Fluttergirl Subject: Re: article from the Launch website >If you can imagine Soundgarden making a Seal record, that's what it >would be like," Ament explained. Oh God.... I think I'm going to have to stop reading my SOMMS mail until the album comes out. Then I can stay away from all the hype and all the posturing about what the album sounds like. But maybe Soundgarden making a Seal record would be good, although I'm not sure exactly how Jeff meant that.

I hope it's not just a rumor and that they'll get back together sometime in the future. The sooner the better. Take care fellow SG fans. Rock on!!

AND... about this "baddest hits" thing. i think it would really be called that. i mean, just listen to how kim talks on hype! or how he reponds to questions during interviews in articles... i wouldhave to say, it's not beyond his reach to name something like that. ;) peace, love, hope, faith, soup and s o u n d g a r d e n always groovy, kathleen : )) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 02:42:15 -0700 From: "J.C." Subject: Rumours Addressing recent rumours and reports. I have a feeling that B-Sides and this 'box set' thing are one in the same. Calling it B-sides restricts it to only, well, B-sides. So it's probably evolved into this new thing, dubiously named 'Baddest Hits'. As far as the rumour about Soungarden getting back together goes. Well, I think it was probably reported that there would be a new Soundgarden album coming out soon. This album is no doubt the rarities album. Somewhere along the grapevine this message probably changed from their being a new album, to being the band getting back together. Like someone else said, they're not going to get back together NOW with so much other stuff going on for the individual members (except that lazy ass Kim!), and Chris only denied it a few days ago. Do you think he's already had a change of heart? Jay. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I dont think Kim is really gonna call it that. I mean, look, they're already giving it a title 6 months in advance. Is that normal? I'm not too sure. I'm not really an expert on hyping a record. I'm sure Kim will change it, because like you said, it sounds like some 80's metal band with big poffy bleached blonde hair and makeup. I think we should start a petition to change the name of the album. hehe.

I think that Baddest Hits is just the kind of name they would use. It's just like Big Dumb Sex or 665; a parody of all the typical metal/hair bands. Of course, there are so many rumors flying around, especially about the b-sides album and them reuniting, this could just be another one.
