After touring in support of its first full-length studio album, ''Ultramega OK'' (1988), Soundgarden signed with A&M and began work on its first album for a major label. The songs on the album featured a metal-leaning grunge sound with some songs featuring unusual or unorthodox time signatures. Due to the nature of some of the lyrics, a Parental Advisory sticker was placed on the album packaging. ''Louder Than Love'' would become the band's first album to chart on the ''Billboard'' 200. The band supported the album with tours of North America and Europe. It was the last Soundgarden album to feature the band's original bassist, Hiro Yamamoto. ==Recording== The album's recording sessions took place from December 1988 to January 1989 at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington. The band worked with producer Terry Date. The album was mixed by Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero at both Mediasound, New York, and House of Music, West Orange, New Jersey. Regarding the sessions, frontman Chris Cornell said, "At the time Hiro () had excommunicated himself from the band and there wasn't a free-flowing system as far as music went, so I ended up writing a lot of it."〔"Colour Me Badmotorfinger!". ''Raw''. October 30, 1991.〕 Cornell would end up solely writing seven out of the album's twelve tracks. Cornell stated that there "was plenty of angst, anger, frustration and hell...but none of it had anything to do with Terry. He was very supportive."〔White, Richard. "Soundgarden Rocks". ''Rockpool''. October 1, 1989.〕 He said that the sessions as a whole were a "positive experience."〔 Bassist Hiro Yamamoto left the band once the sessions were over and went back to college, frustrated that he wasn't contributing much.〔"How Does Your Garden Grow?". ''Sounds''. October 21, 1989.〕 Regarding the album's production, Cornell said that the band tried to avoid 1980s production techniques.〔 On the album's sound as a whole, Cornell stated that the album "was just a few degrees too produced and too clean, although I wouldn't want to change any of it."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louder Than Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
