I remember Chris saying that DOTU was more representative of the live SG sound than any other album.
It doesn't sound overthought like Superunknown did, ~even though I love it to bits as well.
I know Chris was unhappy with the production on Superunknown, he thought there were too many takes for some of the songs.
My DOTU album has the bonus disc with Bleed Together, Birth Ritual and the Moby remix of Dusty.

It totally doesn't sound over thought....I can't think of the right words to describe it. It doesn't sound so rehearsed, and you can tell they were kinding at a turning point in their careers. I haven't been able to stop listening to it.

I don't know if anyone ever feels the same way but man when I listen to a few of those songs on there it just hits my soul deep down.

I got a bunch of downloads from someone and on one of them Chris says "Throw away your Led Zepplin albums cuz Soundgarden is here." Makes me laugh everytime I hear it.....

Hey baby girl.
Your using again? Did you just fall off the wagon for a bit or are you hitting it hardcore? You can't afford to do that. I have my own struggles with things too, so I understand, it is just a pretty expensive deal, no matter how you look at it. And remember, just because you mess up a little doesn't mean you can't just dust yourself off an go on with your life. The weather is getting so nice, there has to be something out there for you to do. Damn, now I'm worried about you girl. Call me, 563 381-1179. Today, I'll be home.

DOTU is my favorite SG album, and that is a lot to say. Especially if your in a mood or depressed. Boot camp and switch opens, never the machine forever, zero chance, dusty, the whole thing just blends and mixes so well together, like one continuous feeling that changes colors as it develops. Now I'm gonna have to listen to it!
Take it easy Lake and call me, I've been wanting to talk to you for awhile now.
Jenna
