So they have been plaing a few tracks from Audioslave on the radio here and I thought they sounded pretty good so I picked up the whole album last night and just got done hearing it all the way through for the first time.
Let me say it's an interesting combo of musicians. You can deffinatly tell that the band is Rage Against the Machine. It has there sound that's for sure.
The interesting part is Chris Cornel. I was never a huge fan of Soundgarden, or his solo stuff, but his work here is fairly impressive. The pace of the album is a lot slower then and RATM album ever was, and has a real Soundgarden feel to the whole thing, but with RATM backing him it gives the music something new that Soundgarden was never capable of doing.
All in all it's a good album, and I was wondering if anyone else had heard it and what their impression of it was.
To any pontical buyers of this album I have to warn you that if you hoping for something as angry as RATM you'll be dissapointed. If you hoping it's more like Soundgarden your gonna be very impressed with the album.
Overall I give it a B+
Rage > Audioslave > Soundgarden
