Title: Swan-song of one of the greatest bands in a long time...
Review: This record will always be compared and contrasted to its predessor, "Superunknown", maybe unfairly, perhaps inevitably. While not as consistent throughout, 'Upside' certainly has its moments...the opening salvo of 'Pretty Noose' reverberates and sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other notable moments--the Lennon-esque 'Blow Up..', 'Burden..', for obvious reasons, the tense 'Tighter and Tighter', and the closing track, which showed what direction the band might've gone in. Thats whats so frustrating about this LP is all the promise it showed of a band definetly going places.
