Euphoria Morning

In rock history, heavy metal arose out of psychedelia. In Chris Cornell’s history, it worked the other way. During his early years fronting Soundgarden, Cornell refurbished Zeppelin and Sabbath riffs for the ’90s.

Fans will hear much of the punch and yowl they yearn for — only with more refined melodies and Cornell’s character finally clarified. B+
