Louder Than Love is the second studio album by Soundgarden, released on September 5, 1989 through A&M Records. After touring in support of their first full-length studio album, Ultramega OK (1988), Soundgarden signed with A&M and began work on its 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. Louder Than Love would become the band's first album to chart on the Billboard 200. It was the last Soundgarden album to feature the band's original bassist, Hiro Yamamoto. Limited Edition!
