Soundgarden's reunion

In new years day I got one of the best if not the best new of the year... SOUNDGARDEN GOT BACK TOGETHER!!!!! I couldn't believe it but it seems the 12 year break is over and they're back. Despite not knowing if the reunion is only to play a few gigs or something more real like recording albuns again this is something to look forward. Soundgarden have been my favourite band since I was in 11th grade. I knew them from way back when they release "Black Hole Sun" but only got in touch with the rest of their music later. But the more I would listen to them the more I would fall in love with the music. The experimental sound of the early albuns and the more structure but brilliant work in the later albuns made them one of the big 4 bands from the grunge era. They were the first out of the 4 to sign with a major label but the last to attain success. They were nominated for several grammy awards but only won 2 in 1995 for best hard rock performance ("Black Hole Sun") and best rock album with "Superunknown". The band ended in 1997 in another pick of their career after releasing "Down On The Upside".

It's really hard to be imparcial about the bands you love specialy the one band you've been addicted for several years straight.
