4.0 out of 5 stars great grunge, May 26, 2003

I got this album on cd after waiting seven years to find it on vinyl, and it was just as good as i thought it would be.Deep six was originally realeased in 1986 on vinyl on C/Z records. After the breahthrough of grunge in 91-92, it was re-released on cd by A&M records in 1994. Deep six features six seattle bands: Soundgarden, Green river,Melvins,Malfunkshun,U-men and Skin yard.Except for the U-men,these were all the bands first ever recordings.The music is good,with the bands sounding muddy but great.Green rivers 10.000 things is probably the best song, but Soundgardens three contributions are the most interesting with the band sounding nothing like their later efforts.The album stands as one of the best and most interesting documents of the eighties seattle grunge scene. Deep six is probably of most value to collectors,but any fan of Seattle(and eighties underground)-rock should consider getting this.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Could Live With This Record Alone for the Rest of My Life, August 10, 2004

Rory Ford "Grunger" (Seattle) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deep Six (Audio CD)

I'm not freaking kidding you, as a fairly hardcore grunger I found this to be the definitive grunge album. Its sludgy, heavy, absurd, wild, angry, loud, varied (look at With Yo' Heart Not Yo' Hands and then The Birds), paranoid, and most of all grungy. Stand out tracks include With Yo' Heart Not Yo' Hands (Malfunkshun), Heretic (Soundgarden), All Your Lies (Soundgarden), 10,000 Things (Green River), Grinding Process (Melvins), The Birds (Skin Yard), and They (U-Men). Goddamnit man, go buy this album now if you are a fan or are interested in grunge in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Critical Album, May 27, 2009

For all grunge aficionados, this disc catalogs the first and brightest stars of the Seattle scene in all their uncompromising ferocity. Some of these tracks suck unforgivably. Others hint at undiscovered brilliance long since discarded. Regardless of my critical interpretation, this record delivers an anthropological gift to the world of rock and roll. It provides an aural snapshot into the suburban musical ambitions of a few wannabes, some of whom would continue to superstardom, others who would grace the bargain bin, whether or not they deserved obscurity. It's music for dreamers by the biggest dreamers of the eighties underground. Dig it.
