Songs from the Superunknown

Did You Know?

• AllMusic staff writer Greg Prato gave the EP two and a half out of five stars.
• Greg Prato called it a "solid (albeit short) collection of Soundgarden outtakes".

Alive in the Superunknown

The CD-ROM Alive in the Superunknown includes the first four tracks from Songs from the Superunknown along with a multimedia section. That section contains photos of the band, a video game, four music videos ("The Day I Tried to Live", "Black Hole Sun", "My Wave", and "Fell on Black Days"), a performance/special effects video of "Superunknown", and a live video of "Kickstand". Entertainment Weekly commented that nothing on Alive in the Superunknown equals the mystery, humor, sonic impact, or imagination of any track on Soundgarden's Superunknown album.
