Soundgarden's recent reunion will come full circle with "Telephantasm," the rock group's first release in 14 years, due out Sept. 28 on A&M/UMe. The retrospective album will feature the band's hits, previously released obscurities and "Black Rain," a never-before-heard track from the "Badmotorfinger" recording sessions.

Soundgarden has also announced a partnership with Activision Publishing that will see "Telphantasm" exclusively released and bundled with 1 million copies of "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock" on Sept. 28. The album will also be immediately available as downloadable content for the game before being released at retail stores and on the band's website on Oct. 5. Additionally, three expanded versions of "Telephantasm" will be issued on Sept. 28, including the band's first-ever DVD with 13 previously unreleased videos.

but it's missing "The Day I Tried To Live" on the cd'd

So they reunited to release a greatest hits cd? haha, i'm sorry, but that is LAME.

Exactly. Hey we're creatively spent but buy this album of songs you already have so we can cash in on the reunion.

Didn't Soundgarden already release a Greatest Hits/Compilation in "A-Sides"?

Didn't they only reunite back in like April though? Maybe they're working on something that they haven't mentioned yet and are just releasing this in the mean time to introduce to new fans. I'll probably get it if its cheap enough since I don't mind having greatest hits albums to bring with in the car sometimes when I don't want to bring a whole bunch of albums.

Delete- double post

Boo on the lack of Rock Band release.

Really wish this was a collection of their B-sides. There's more than enough of those sitting around to make a full release.

Holy cow - this version is brutal.

I don't think most of those songs were "hits" though. Many of them are pretty great though, like "Fopp", "Beyond The Wheel", and "Big Dumb Sex". Easily among their best songs, but not "hits".

Yeah I see this a very good collection [woulda been great collection if it had THE DAY TRIED TO LIVE], plus it comes with the videos which is very . I have the last 3 Soundgarden albums, which honestly I only really care 'bout SUPERUNKNOWN one, which I love.

Heard the new song. It's a shit sandwich. Oh well...

http://www.billboard.com/#/column/vi...04115496.story

yes. If it had all of those songs and then some, i'd easily rebuy, cause the sound isn't the greatest on that one imo

This is probably one of the worst CD covers I've ever seen.

Soundgarden Releasing First Live Album

Reunited rock group Soundgarden will follow last year's career retrospective "Telephanatasm" with their first-ever live album. "Live on I5," set for a March 22 release, will include fan favorites "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman" as well as covers of Beatles and Stooges tracks.
