Screaming life
Fopp

"As for the "remastering" aspect, to be sure, the album sounds as good as it ever has, especially to those of us who memorized every not by way of audio cassettes. However, the new version doesn't sound markedly different from the previous release on CD, mostly because the songs were recorded tough and rough in the first place. That's still the real appeal of Screaming Life/ Fopp. These songs are very clearly Soundgarden (if only due to Cornell's voice in many cases) and it's fascinating to experience the sonic tools the band employed as their sounds evolved".

"Screaming Life [along] with its 1988 follow-up, the Fopp EP, [is] being reissued by Sub Pop - only this time with a needed Jack Endino remastering job and one bonus track, the jokey throwaway jam "Sub Pop Rock City", drawn from 1988's Sub Pop 200 compilation. The latter is sheer filler, as is the six-minute dub version of Fopp's title track and the passable, unremarkable cover of Green River's seminal "Swallow My Pride". That leaves eight songs out of 11 worth listening to on the reissue-some more than others".
