Maddergascar Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I didn't realise it was out yet. I may get it. The last one was heading in a good direction but lacked any truly memorable songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bax Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 What's different about this one? I was always a Rage and Soundgarden fan, but the first 2 Audioslave albums were nowhere near that good IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malicious Matt Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Wow. Even I didn't think it would be that good. Wide Awake is really great. The whole thing kicks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack99 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think album will be released on September 5.I've heard it too and it got some great songs! It's rocking and has a really cool groovy sound. I'd say it's one of the best rock albums this year and probably the best their best work yet.

jack99 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 AUDIOSLAVE's new single, "Original Fire", is available for streaming at SonyMusic.com:Real MediaQuicktimeWindows Media HighWindows Media LowAUDIOSLAVE filmed the video for "Original Fire", with director Paul Brown (MÖTLEY CRÜE, OTEP, STONE SOUR) on June 29 at the Sunset Gower Studios in Los Angeles. Check out pictures from Wire Image."Original Fire" is the first single off AUDIOSLAVE's third album, "Revelations", due on September 5 via Epic Records.In a recent interview with RollingStone.com, guitarist Tom Morello described the record as "LED ZEPPELIN meets EARTH, WIND AND FIRE," adding that it's a big hard rock record with a funky bottom." Among the album's many highlights is "Wide Awake", about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. "It's probably AUDIOSLAVE's most political song to date," says Morello.The Grammy-nominated quartet (vocalist Chris Cornell, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk) recorded "Revelations" at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with acclaimed producer Brendan O'Brien. O'Brien, whose myriad credits include PEARL JAM and BRUCE SPINGSTEEN, mixed AUDIOSLAVE's "Out of Exile" record and the "Live in Cuba" CD and DVD. His history with the band goes back even farther, as he produced RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE albums "Evil Empire" (1996), "The Battle of Los Angeles" (1999) and "Renegades" (2000) and mixed SOUNDGARDEN's "Superunknown" (1994)."Revelations" follows 2005's "Out of Exile", which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 and featured the Grammy-nominated single "Doesn't Remind Me"."Revelations" track listing:01. Revelations02. One And The Same03. Sound of a Gun04. Until We Fall05. Original Fire06. Broken City07. Somedays08. Shape of Things To Come09. Jewel of the Summertime10. Wide Awake11.

kevdo242 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 The thing about Audioslave is I quite like their songs, but it seems Morello tries too hard to make his guitar sound weird. I find the solo in Original Fire very annoying.OFF-TOPIC: Any news of the Chris Cornell Bond-song yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bax Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) I heard a few songs today, and it's definitely their best work so far.edit:I heard the rest and I really like it. Edited August 29, 2006 by bax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Seal Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Sounds like a decent album, have listened it half way trough now. I really liked Out Of Exile but dont know yet if this can top it. Edited August 29, 2006 by .Seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bax Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 What a disappointment. It's better than Out of Exile, but only just. It's a large step down from the first album. To be frank I think Cornell and RATM have always both suffered from the fact that, after a while, "it all sounds the same." Rage's first album was amazing but after track seven or eight you can hear it all sort of blending together, and their subsequent releases - although still kick-ass - suffered from the fact that the "sound" was very repetitive. Cornell, ditto. It's his vocals - they're so distinct that he can sing a totally different style song but it will sound the same as his other work JUST because of his voice itself.Mixing these two together creates yet another case of something that is first fresh and different (i.e. their first album) and soon just "sounds the same."None of the songs on Revelations stood out to me. I've heard it three times now and can't remember a single tune off hand.I agree that their sound is a bit indistinct and that they seem to have lost the inventiveness that they may have once had, but it is still their best album. I don't mean that it's great-it's just o.k. In a way that the worst fate this band could suffer-to go from 2 of the most highly influential bands of the 90's to a merely average ,middle-of-the-road act.

Malicious Matt Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 How can you think "Broken City" sounds like anything they've done before? Its got a funky, almost Aerosmith vibe. They haven't done anything remotely like that. And Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye is great, along with Moth and Wide Awake. I may be a little biased considering Audioslave is my second favorite band. But I think this is their best album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 The thing about Audioslave is I quite like their songs, but it seems Morello tries too hard to make his guitar sound weird. I find the solo in Original Fire very annoying.That's how I've always felt about Morello - even when he was with RATM. Great riffs, crap solos.Anyway, I've only heard Original Fire from the new album. Sounds ok. Not a huge fan of the first two albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottRose Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I haven't heard it, and won't either, until I get it on tuesday. To listen to a new album on your computer is far from good enough, as opposed to a speaker system. Really looking forward to the album, though.
