Ultramega OK, released in 1988,(see 1988 in music) was the debut album by Soundgarden. It was nominated for a Grammy.
The songs "665" and "667" are parodies of the idea of Satanic content in rock music, the idea being that if 666 is such a powerful number, then the surrounding numbers must be even more powerful. "665" contains backwards messages about Santa.
"Smokestack Lightning" is a Howlin' Wolf cover.
"One Minute Of Silence" is a "cover" of John Lennon's "Two Minutes Of Silence" with Yoko Ono's part cut out.
