There are 16 tracks on all versions of Superunknown except for
the one released in the United States. The US release (A&M, CD/CS
31454 0198-2) does not contain track 16, "She Likes Surprises." The
album was released on gatefold double vinyl in several
collector-worthy colors: orange, blue, and a pale greenish clear
(promo only). The cover artwork for Superunknown, known to
veteran Soundgarden mailing list subscribers as the 'Screaming Elf,'
actually depicts all four band members; the black and white graphic at
the bottom of the artwork is an upside down burning forest. Feel free
to check out the press
release from November 1993.

"It's a riff Matt wrote and I like it because it's so creepy, I don't
even know how to describe it. The song has amazing depth and
emotion. It's very dark, but at the same time, very powerful and
angry." --Kim Thayil

"Like Suicide" was written about a bird that flew into the window at
Chris Cornell's house. He heard the sound, and expecting a burglar,
instead found the small creature suffering. To end its pain, he
crushed its skull with a brick.
