A superb album chock full of musical talent!Review created: 10/12/06

Temple of the Dog, is a superb album but a superb collaboration - the band features the musical talents of what went on to become Pearl Jam - Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard - and two members of Soundgarden - Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron; extremely talented musicians and vocalists who pull together to bring about a breathtaking sound!
This is the one and only release from this collaboration - brought about as a tribute to Andrew Wood - Mother Love Bone's lead singer who died untimely of a drug overdose. The lyrics were primarily the work of Cornell and reflect his place at this time - his head and his feelings having lost a close friend!
I had to purchase this just to own a copy of the powerful Hunger Strike....this is an intense deep song which not only strives to highlight the musical talents of this group...but the powerful vocal ability of both Eddie Vedder and Cornell - both have unique powerful voices which send chills donw my spine; I would go as far as to say their voices are perhaps among the best in the rock world!
There are a lot of deeply personal lyrics in these tracks - look at Say Hello 2 heaven and Times of Trouble. Each track is deep, rich in the sound that is unmistakeable grunge and aside from being wonderful to listen to, these tracks simply serve to highlight the talent in this group!!
This album is deeply powerful and helped spread the roots of the Grunge scene, and for that, as well as the incredible tracks,I will be thankful!

CD is Great, love the music... I decided to buy it because I wanted to hear to the song dedicated to Andrew Woods (Mother Love Bone front man)....If you like Soundgarden, Pear Jam... recommend you buy it.

Chris Cornell wrote some songs for his friend Andrew Wood, former frontman of Mother Love Bone, after Andrew died. Then Chris got with the remaining members and made this. I love Chris's vocal range and the songs are beautiful. Had the cassette, got the cd so I could listen to it again. Oh yeah Eddie Vedder is also on this, it's awesome.

Here we have a classic collaboration of Seattle music scene alumni performing a great set of tracks. Say Hello to Heaven is fresh and memorable toaday just as it was many years ago. The vocals and guitar work are great as well. Highly recommended.

A Treasure Not To Be Forgotten1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
When a song that clocks in at eleven minutes plus simply flies by, you know that the music is good. That's what "Reach Down" does...along with reminding you how emotional and powerful and compelling music truly can be. This one off album was a labor of love and, yes, if you are a lover of the music born of the 90's, this album should be in your collection. But don't let that be a limit; I think if you're a music lover PERIOD, regardless of genre this album should be in your collection.
Most of us know where this album came from and what it's about: it's death and loss and longing and hopes and fears. It's a collaboration in honor of a loved and lost brother. It's future Pearl Jammers locked into a groove from that one moment in time. It's Chris Cornell writing as if his life depended on it and singing like he'd never sung before. It's some of the best that the grunge world had to offer before it became exposed and probably overexposed by the rest of the world.
So read all of the reviews here, nod your head in agreement and then purchase the album. Yes, there's "Hunger Strike", but you've got to go through "Say Hello To Heaven" to get to it and that's a necessary journey to take. Nothing says "tribute" quite like this song and, I swear, at certain points Cornell is hitting notes that truly do reach Heaven.

excellent album from the Grunge era
) 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I have had this album since it first came out. It is one of my favorites and I still listen to it. It shows the essence of a lot of the grunge rock scene in the NW during the early 90s. Totally stripped down in kind of a jam format, especially the song Reach Down. I especially love the drumming by current Pearl Jam and former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron. If you like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Audioslave -- you will enjoy this album.

Vedder and Cornell = excitementReview created: 03/02/09
by:
The tracks with Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell are aawesome. You only wish there were a few more collaberaitons.It would be great if the two hooked up even today, but the disc is still very solid anyhow. Not a classic, but it does contain some really awesome tunes and is a must for any Pearl Jam or Soungarden fans.

A hard to find Christmas surprise.I decided to buy a Temple of the Dog cd because my daughters boyfriend wanted it for christmas. It is a cd from 1991, so i knew it wasn't going to be easy to find! I looked everywhere for it and was told by everyone, including all the local video and cd stores around here, that they did not have this cd and they would not be able to get it for me. So i called my daughter and asked her to ask her boyfriend for another cd title that he would like because there was no way i was going to be able to get it. I was sitting going through my ebay one night and it hit me that i could possibly search and buy the cd on here. I was extremely happy to find it and even more happier when it said it was new and still in the package. It came from an international seller and the transaction went very smoothly.It arrived in good time and brand new, just like promised! It was double the surprise when my daughters boyfriend got it for christmas because no one knew i had even found one on ebay. It was great. Ebay is a great place to find all those hard to find things out there. Its funny because no matter what you are looking for even if it is from the 60's ha!..you can always find it on ebay!!!

Chris Cornell's Best WorkPersonally, I feel this is Chris Cornell's best work to date. I've yet to hear anything before or after this one that even compares. It is really sad that he never had the musical backing that he deserved. K.T. His Guitarist from SOUNDGARDEN was only moderately talented and the one from AUDIOSLAVE, T.M. even worse and better suited to rap. Having the backing of Sony Music Entertainment and Mega talented producers like Rick Rueben and Brendan O'Brien should have catapulted him to the forefront along with Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. This one is basically Chris Cornell and Pearl Jam. STONE GOSSARD is the one he should have teamed up with, but then we would never have had Pearl Jam.

Great album. The seattle sound is just as good today as it was back in the 90's. This will have been the second time that I have bought the album if that tells you how much I like it.

Not Cornell's Best WorkThe songs in this collection are fairly lackluster and somewhat cliche. Maybe it seemed better in '91, but Chris Cornell sure has come a long way since this endeavor both in songwriting and performance. It states on the album it was done sort of spontaneously as a tribute, unfortunately, I think it shows. Before I bought this CD, everyone advertised vocals by Eddie Vedder but other than the song "Hunger Strike" (written by Cornell), he's not a noticeable contributor. Nice to hear some early Chris Cornell, but nothing worth leaving in the CD carousel in my opinion.
