1. I've been well aware of One Direction's ascendant popularity for many months and even wrote about the British vocal quintet in April for my OurStage Pop column , but did I miss the group's coronation as the new princes of pop? (Move over, Bieber?) How did OD's second album, Take Me Home , sell 540,000 copies in its first week (making it the act's second No. 1 album of 2012 and the year's third-biggest debut, behind Taylor Swift's Red and Mumford & Sons' Babel ), more than the November 13 releases from Drake [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation C Brandon, Getty Images Soundgarden 's hot-ticket club show at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre Friday night (Nov. 16) for a capacity-crowd of 1100 wasn't the only thing smokin'. Frontman Chris Cornell even noticed the perpetual waft of weed, enough to mention it onstage, first three songs in at "Spoonman" and again, after another four songs, before "Loud Love." "You're [...]

Grunge behemoth Soundgarden is back with a reunion album, King Animal. It’s a very so-so affair, but it reinforces the notion that every record has its own story, even the average ones. Grunge detractors will obviously want to avoid, but unabashed fans of the band might find it a cup half full. Using Nirvana as the main window to a retroactive assessment of the Grunge phenomenon is largely a mistake. While their mainstream breakthrough initially bugged a lot of persnickety underground heads as either a sellout or the ascendency of a band [...]
Chris Cornell talks to All Things Considered about the Soundgarden reunion. The Scholarly Kitchen lists lessons book publishers could learn from indie rock labels. The Browser interviews author Steven Amsterdam , who recommends five books with anxiety at their heart. My aggregated list of online year-end "best of 2012" book lists was updated yesterday with a variety [...]

Esta semana se han publicado dos discos importantes de rock duro: Deftones con su Koi No Yokan y Soundgarden con King Animal . Ambos eran regresos discográficos esperados, aunque el de Chris Cornell y compañía tenía el aliciente de que habían pasado casi 16 años sin escuchar nada nuevo de ellos. Por esa misma razón decidimos publicar el Top 10 de Soundgarden, que también ha funcionado muy bien. Sin embargo, lo que más ha atraído vuestra atención esta semana ha sido nuestro selección de diez bandas y solistas que solo publicaron [...]
The new Soundgarden reunion album seems to have been getting reviewers all giddy recently. It got a 9 out of 10 on the NME site, a 4 out of 5 in The Guardian and generated glowing reviews from the NY Times , BBC Music and The Quietus . It's understandable if latest single, Been Away Too Long is anything [...]
What the hell is wrong with Comcast? I tried to sign up for their internet package. It was listed as $44.95 online. I took pictures of it to verify that this was the truth and there'd be no funny business later on. In the picture, it says "$44.95 total price modem included." Clear as day. To complete the order, I had to get on the phone with a dispatcher. They called me and put me

Here's part 2 of our new release coverage for this week. I tried my hardest to narrow them down, but there were just too many great new records to fit into one post. In case you missed it, here's my first round of recommendations from yesterday: New Release Spotlight, Part 1 _ Crystal Castles- (III) [Casablanca/Republic/Fiction] Quick Take: This is my other essential pick for the week. Their third album without a [...]

A pesar de que esta semana hemos tenido lanzamientos importantes dentro del rock y del metal, como Koi No Yokan de Deftones, más de quince años sin escuchar nada nuevo de Soundgarden son suficientes como para centrar gran parte de nuestras miradas en King Animal , la recién estrenada obra de Chris Cornell y compañía. Ya analizamos a fondo las canciones del álbum en nuestra reseña , pero hemos creído conveniente dedicarle el Top 10 de esta semana a una de las bandas más relevantes [...]

Did you know Paul McCartney almost died in a helicopter crash recently ? Fortunately, it was avoided, but think about it: How tragic would that have been? Hell, Ringo would have been the last surviving Beatle! Quite a hypothetical, but one that got us thinking, Which rock star's untimely death would leave you completely inconsolable? Also on today's show, Sami recaps a ton of music headlines including Trent Reznor's appearance on Reddit , Blur releasing a new concert album , tour dates for Sigur Rós [...]

Aerosmith – Music From Another Dimension! O Aerosmith revisitou todo o seu passado de sucesso para compor Music From Another Dimension! Revistou e gostou tanto do que viu lá, que apenas readaptou aquilo que o agradou fazendo de suas novas canções clonagens de seu próprio trabalho. Num contexto totalmente isolado em espaço e tempo, esse seria um disco bom. Todos os riffs e solos de Joe Perry , principalmente nas primeiras faixas LUV XXX , Oh Yeah , Beautiful e Out Go The Lights nunca [...]
For the sake of full-disclosure, I should come right out with it: I absolutely love Grunge, and even when pitted against my Metal, Punk, and Hardcore stand-bys, Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger is my favorite album of all time…period. And while I certainly missed “Seattle sound” party by about ten years when I got into it all (Kurt ... The post Album Review: Soundgarden- King Animal appeared first on Metal Injection .

photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin , words by Fred Pessaro The room was only half full by the time Chris, Kim, Matt and Ben returned to the stage for their second, and only true encore last night at Irving Plaza (11/13). Most assumed the show was over after the curtain went down and the house music went on, but the diehards forced the band back back on stage to play Badmotorfinger 's breakout single, [...]
