No, I'm not on drugs. Chris sure was, though.
You really disappoint me champ. Really. For a young fella who usually seems to put a bit of thought into his music and how he discusses it, that is just baffling coming from you mate.

I gave it a few spins years ago, and maybe I was too hung up on comparing it to Soundgarden. I haven't listened to it for years, so maybe I'd appreciate it more now. All I remember is thinking it was trash.
Mate you will find no greater Soundgarden fan on this planet than myself, and yes i remember being a bit suprised the first time i heard Euphoria Morning. I too was kinda hoping for a bit more balls and attitude ala Soundgarden.
But once i realised how narrowminded and foolish i was being and just accepted the album for what it was, i was able to realise that he was simply getting out all of the ideas and concepts that wouldn't have worked in the parametres of Soundgarden. For the most part, the song writing is all class. His vocal performance is astonishing and his lyrics were brilliant.
Not to mention having the very brilliant Josh Freese lay down all but one drum track. The other was by a performed a bloke named Matt Cameron.

Burn and send me a copy and I might reconsider and buy the proper thing. I Loved Soundgarden.
F*ck you. Just buy it ya tight arse! You'll get it bloody cheap these days. I assure you, now you are a few year's older and have removed your head from your moist young juvenile bottom, 3 or 4 spins of this album is all you will require to realise what a ******** you're being. Oh, and remove any Soundgarden influenced pre-conceptions from your head before listening to it. It aint a Soundgarden album. Was never intended to be.
Oh, and say no to drugs.... well at least just the bad ones anyway.
