Kerrang!Dec 10, 2012In an era when so many classic bands return to tout but without risking new material, it's a delight to have Soundgarden take that gamble and win. [17 Nov 2012, p.52]
-
Nov 14, 2012This is a surprisingly strong reunion, one that puts the band back on the track they abandoned long ago.

Entertainment WeeklyNov 8, 2012[Skip tepid "Been Away Too Long"] to the latter half, home of the Stonesian psych flourishes ("Attrition")and a bluesy power ballad. [9/16 Nov 2012, p.98]

Nov 13, 2012While this record lacks the canonizing tracks like "Jesus Christ Pose," "Black Hole Sun," "Spoonman" and "Burden in My Hand," Soundgarden deserves to be commended for recapturing the feeling of grunge and reintroducing it today.

Nov 16, 2012Soundgarden pivots and parries as usual, but a better sense of dynamics is much needed to make the performances truly pop.

Nov 15, 2012Soundgarden's best material conjures a dense atmosphere of gloom that renders Cornell's angsty lyrics portentous and significant. But few of the songs on King Animal evoke much of anything in the way of feeling.
