Our Take

Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog

What do you get when you combine members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam? A grunge supergroup that's more tantalizing than a pint of warm lager at a dodgy pub in Camden, that's what! Temple of the Dog, the brainchild of Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder, delivers a debut album that's as intoxicating as a Saturday night bender in Soho.

From the melancholic melodies of "Say Hello 2 Heaven" to the gritty guitar riffs of "Hunger Strike," this album is like a musical rollercoaster through the gloomy streets of 90s Seattle. The raw emotion in Cornell's vocals paired with Vedder's haunting harmonies creates a sonic experience that's more addictive than a bag of salt and vinegar crisps.

Tracks like "Times of Trouble" and "Wooden Jesus" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend grunge with a touch of psychedelic rock, leaving listeners feeling as pleasantly disoriented as stumbling out of a pub at closing time. And let's not forget the iconic anthem "Hunger Strike," a duet between Cornell and Vedder that's as electrifying as catching a glimpse of David Bowie strutting down Carnaby Street.

So grab a pint, put on your Doc Martens, and dive headfirst into the musical masterpiece that is Temple of the Dog. It's a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of grunge, and trust me, you won't want to come up for air anytime soon. Cheers!
