IF YOU'VE GOT
TIME TO KILL
SLOW RESISTANCE
WINS THE WAR
is the second
studio album
and major-label debut
by American Rock band
It was released on
September 5, 1989,
by A&M Records.
After touring in support
of their debut album,
Ultramega OK
(1988),
Soundgarden left SST,
signed with A&M
and began work
on their first album
for a major label.
The songs on the album
featured a
metal-leaning
grunge sound
with some songs
featuring unusual
or unorthodox
time signatures.
Due to the nature
of some of the lyrics
(particularly "Big Dumb Sex"),
a Parental Advisory sticker
was placed on
the album packaging.
Louder Than Love
would become the band's
first album to chart
on the Billboard 200,
peaking at No. 108,
and it was also
the first grunge record
to enter that chart.
The band supported
the album with
tours of North America
and Europe.
This was the last
Soundgarden
album to feature
the band's
original bassist,
Hiro Yamamoto
