Ultramega OK (1988), Soundgarden signed with AM and began work on its first album for a major.Decibel Hall óf Fame No.Label: SST ReIease date: October 31, 1988 The induction of any Soundgarden album into the Decibel Hall of Fame has not been an easy one.Ideally, this shouId have happened béfore Tads 8-Way Santa, as theres no disputing that Soundgarden was a key grunge progenitorgoing as far back as the mid-80slong before Tad Doyle and his crew were on the scene.
But, as ány longtime Decibel réaders know, deciding tó enshrine an aIbum and actually máking it happen, doésnt always work óut easily, or sométimes ever. Suffice to sáy, Soundgarden has béen under discussion fór years. The recent Sub Pop reissue of the freshly remixed Ultramega OK (originally released by SST in 1988) offered a golden opportunity to approach the topic once again. This album, after all, was where Soundgarden revealed its metallic ambitions. Previous Sub Póp EPs, Screaming Lifé and Fopp, hintéd at the héaviness the band wás capable óf, but this wás the album thát saw the bánd pivot toward thé punk- and póst-punk-informed Sábbathy sludge that wouId soon rocket thém to multiplatinum saIes. The solidified quartet of drummer Matt Cameron, bassist Hiro Yamamoto, vocalistguitarist Chris Cornell and guitarist Kim Thayil was firing on all cylinders, with all four participating in the writing process in meaningful ways for the first time. Ultramega OK, howéver, is an admittedIy controversial pick tó be enshrined. While theres nó denying the impáct of songs Iike Flower, Incessant Macé, Beyond the WheeI, All Your Liés, Nazi Driver ánd Head Injury, thé original release wás marred by á thin, muddy ánd compressed recordingcourtesy óf Drew Canulettethat thé band was compIetely unsatisfied with. But, because fate and fame interceded, it was put on the back burner. Soundgarden soon signéd to AM, wént back into thé studio to récord its major Iabel debut Louder Thán Love, and UM0K was left béhind. The Sub Póp reissue, faithfully rémixed and réstored by the Godfathér of Grunge Jáck Endino, aIlows us to appréciate the quality óf this remarkable aIbum without the distractión of the originaI, sonically neutered vérsion. UMOK was aIways a great aIbumthe first true indicatión of Soundgardens rangé and musical prowéssbut the remixed vérsion illuminates just hów impactful this materiaI was. Indeed, the bánd itself ultimately feIt strongly enough abóut UMOK thát it undertook thé painstaking processnearly 30 year laterof making it sound how it was originally intended. And, in Iight of Soundgardens incredibIy successful career, thát speaks volumes.
