On March 8, 1994, both bands released albums that are still widely considered their best by fans. Shortly after, Superunknown and The Downward Spiral debuted at No. 1 and No. 2 on the Billboard albums chart, respectively.
The Downward Spiral, a concept album, follows a protagonist as he descends into madness—with the record exploring heavy topics like addiction, violence, and suicide that sparked controversy at the time.
In addition to being considered one of the best albums of the '90s, The Downward Spiral was also ranked No. 122 on a list of Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in 2020.
The Downward Spiral achieved quadruple-platinum certification with 3.7 million US sales by December 2011.
Superunknown, on the other hand, marked a shift for Soundgarden—retaining the heaviness and grunge of the band's previous works while embracing sounds of alternative rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic rock.
"They were the Seattle punk scene's headbanging answer to Led Zeppelin II," Rolling Stone said at the time. "But they became real songwriters on Superunknown, shaping their angst into grunge anthems like 'Black Hole Sun.'"
