Steve Huey of AllMusic said that Soundgarden took "a step toward the metal mainstream" with "a slow, grinding, detuned mountain of Sabbath/ Zeppelin riffs and Chris Cornell wailing". 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". Regarding the album's production, Cornell said that the band tried to avoid 1980s production techniques. 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 was not contributing much. but none of it had anything to do with Terry. Cornell stated that there "was plenty of angst, anger, frustration and hell . 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." Cornell would end up solely writing seven out of the album's twelve tracks. The album was mixed by Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero at both Mediasound, New York, and House of Music, West Orange, New Jersey. The band worked with producer Terry Date.
