Not even just those..but I think I have yet to hear a bad song on the album. On track 7 now.

I like that whole album..been listening to it for about 13 years now.
Damn, that makes me feel old.
Yeah..I mean..I really do like the the album...for the most part. I think it is just my least favorite.
I could have been listening to it for that long..but I would have been 6 at the time.

what a great album!
When my Primus 150 speakers get here, I am gonna test them out with this album asap.
Think of Temple as a lost Soundgarden CD, and a very good one.
I put off buying it for years because "Hunger Strike" was the only song I'd heard, and it turns out that is the only PJ-like song on the CD. The rest have Chris Cornell on lead vocals and are much more like Superunknown or Euphoria Morning.
=sigh= Why couldn't we have a follow up to Euphoria Morning instead of 2 Audioslave CDs? Why!? Curse you non-Euphoria-buying consumers!

Dude Euphoria was straight up whining pussyness.
Anyways - yea Hunger Strike is prob the best song on the CD. Politically tinted, which may turn off some people here, but still very genuine and heartfelt. I love it. Still appreciate it to this day and I'm not an old fogey at all
Life isn't just about chugging the Mountain Dew and being Xtreeme!!! 24/7.
"Wave Goodbye," "Preaching the End of the World" and "Sweet Euphoria" are great songs, regardless of whether or not they fit your taste in music.

Yep. A nice thing with the Seattle scene in the early 90s was that everyone knew each other or were good friends. Most of them were a close-knit group of people. For example, members of Pearl Jam were also members of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Red Hot Chili Peppers (not from Seattle but worth mentioning),Mad Season, Mother Love Bone, Brad, etc.

Good stuff, but whoa welcome to 1991.
edit: Temple of the Dog bio
Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard played bass and guitar (respectively) for the band Mother Love Bone, which would have been the biggest band to break out of the Seattle "grunge" scene except that singer and music genius Andrew Wood died of a heroin overdose in 1990. Ament and Gossard decided to form a new band, and hired Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron to form Temple of the Dog. They made only one album, which did not become popular until a couple of years after its release, but during the course of the project discovered Eddie Vedder. The direct result was Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, both of which came right after and subsequently went big.
Yes, many of the Seattle scene bands were tight (Sub Pop Records had a lot to do with this), and Eddie was friends with RHCP, but Nirvana were always the hated outsiders, and AiC originally considered themselves a heavy metal band before joining the "grunge" scene.

:music:
Wooden jesus where are you from
Korea or canada or maybe taiwan
I didn?t know it was the holy land
But I believed from the minute
The check left my hand, and I pray
Can I be saved, I spent all my money
On a future grave
Wooden jesus I?ll cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin /:music:

One other thing that is funny about this band is that Pearl Jam, with its current members IS Temple of the Dog w/o Chris Cornell.
