Sounds like it should be good:

Old news.

It's likely to be called Revelations according to Cornell. I can sense a lot of people disliking it because he said it's taken a more soulful, almost R&B route due to all of his favourite singers being in that genre.

A style that will suit Morello I think.

Somehow it worries me that they're coming out with a new album so soon after Out of Exile. I fear it will suck...

Yeah I read that too but Morello is calling it a hard rock album. Either way, Im looking forward to it.

Why?

System of a Down already proved that if you have the talent it doesn't matter when you bring out a new album. They did two in a year, and both were candidates for best album of that year.

That said, I seriously doubt that anything Audioslave put out, will "suck".

-AC

Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine are much better bands then Audioslave.

I think Audioslave have made much better music in two albums than Soundgarden did in all of theirs.

Soundgarden at their peak may...MAY have been a better band, but I don't think they are overall. As for Rage, you've gotta remember that Rage more or less created an entire genre with their debut album. Audioslave are making music in an already existing genre, so it doesn't stand out as much. I think this next album might be what sets them apart.

-AC

Rage are the best of the three by far. Audioslave are second, in my opinion.

That sounds spectacular to me. Audioslave are so close to my idea of a perfect band. I'm sure it will be excellent.

You can't really compare it to Mezmerize/Hypnotize, because that was basically just one really long album that they released at two different times. It was all written and recorded at once.

I also doubt it will suck at all, it just seems a little... rushed.

It's still a matter of productivity. They could have released Hypnotize a year later, wouldn't have mattered.

Word

Soundgarden will always reign supreme compared to rage and Audio Slave. And Morello has to get over himself and play some decent solos.

Soundgarden aren't better than Rage by any stretch of the imagination, to me at least.

Second, Tom doesn't HAVE to do anything. He's managed to be regarded as one of the best guitarists of modern times off the back of his work so far, so I think he's doing just fine. You need to get over YOURSELF, it sounds like.

What the hell?

I just realised the further irony there.

Surely if someone played too many "Look at me!" solos, THEN they would need to get over themselves, right? Not someone who focuses more on making the music great for the band as a whole.

-AC

I'm not saying Morello isn't a bad guitarist. I just find his solos too self absorbed. Personal taste, half his shit destroys the melody and flow of the song. Those are my views.

What solos? I swear you said he needs to do more to get OVER himself, now you're saying his solos are too self-absorbed? Make your mind up.

-AC

-AC AC, scroll up the page a few inches and read my post again. It isnt hard mate. I think his music is out of sink with the flow of the songs. Fine with Rage, but not with Cornell's style. My opinion.

You said he needs to get over himself and play some decent solos, but then complained about him playing solos.

This can mean that you don't think his solos are decent now because he's too self-absorbed? I honestly don't see how you can deduce that from the music. I'm further puzzled at how you can say "Fine with Rage" as if he's working with different band members.

-AC

Valharu I see your point in saying that Morello's style worked better with Rage but I think calling him self absorbed was a stupid way to put it.

-AC C'mon AC. No one may agree with my points. But surely its not hard to understand where I'm coming from. Or is it only you.

No, it is hard to understand where you're coming from.

Is there such thing as a self-indulgent solo? Maybe, but it's a bit of a paradox. I personally never find his solos to be out of place. Even so, I'd rather them stand out than have some identikit boring solo.

-AC Understood. I just wish there was some melody to go with the songs. But I do have the albums. And its mostly Out of Exile I have the issues with. Enough said.

You mean a tautology. That phrase is the opposite of a paradox.

Yih.

There's plenty of melody. Getaway Car, The Last Remaining Light, Doesn't Remind Me, Yesterday to Tomorrow etc.

-AC

Word to AC's momma. She taught dat boy well.

What does everybody think of this new song, "Original Fire"?

I'm a bit disappointed with it, honestly. It's kind of... boring.

I think it's brilliant. I'm glad they're going to a more soulful rock style, it suits them better.

-AC

I like the style, and I agree that it suits them, but the song itself is a little repetitive. I can see the new album being good (mediocre first singles and all), but Original Fire just feels watered down and, dare I say, weak.

Seriously, the more I hear that tune, the more I think it's the bombtrack.

Unbelievers can hear it here...

Quite enjoyed it ...

Sidenote: Oooo, I'm finally going to see Miami Vice tonight...Yeahhhhh. I heard there's a couple of new Audioslave tracks in it...Ooooo, yeahhhhhh.

Yeahhhhhh, oooooo.

I'm listening to Original Fire now. Its spectacular. I dont think its boring at all. They've got the same amazing voice of the band, with a new kind of sound. Its got a mixture of influences from different kind of music. I sense some old time blues, Rock, and all of that good stuff. Nice and soulful. Got to love that guys voice, too.

Well, don't know about the Audioslave tracks, but (at least over here) they promote it with numb by linkin park...I figured the movie sucks....

Nah, duuuuuuude...The movie was awsome...like, totally awesome. Really.

I do believe I heard a couple of Audioslave tracks in the movie, but they don't appear on the soundtrack. Either way, the tracks I heard were, like, totally awesome. Really. I guess Mann must be an Audioslave fan...either that or he just likes their music. Wait...Is that right, AC? Maybe I should say he's a fan of their music, but he probably doesn't own a t-shirt. Wait...Eh...No, I'm confused.

When is this coming out?

September 5th...

Bring back Soundgarden and Rage Against the machine
Chris Cornell belongs to SG and Tom & the gang belongs to Rage

Tom and the gang WERE Rage, they were the ones playing and writing the music, I think they can decide where they belong.

-AC

^ Agreed.

I'm still looking forward to the new album. I'll most likely buy it.

Ooooo, it's out some time this coming week, right? Oooooo...

4th of September.

They did make the music but without Zac they're not Rage. They operate as a unit, you can't take one member away and still have Rage. If you take Maynard from Tool, would it still be Tool? "Yes, " sure the music would be just as good, their skill wouldn't change, but would it still have the same impact? No. Same with RATM

Zack, despite being one man, did bring a huge amount of Rage's sound in his voice, but there were three other men making music with him.

Zack's sure bringing the Rage right now isn't he. I mean, despite not seeing him for going on...how many years?

-AC

has nothing to do with it really, what he's done on his own is irrelevant to the point that RATM are only RATM as a whole unit.

Originally posted by tabby999

My point was concerning the idiot saying they belong in Rage. They were three fourths of Rage, so it makes no sense.

If anything, say it about Zack.

-AC

In other news, guess what I have?










...the new Audioslave album.
droolio

And?!

Do we have a verdict?

So far it appears to kick everyone's asses.

I knew everyone would drop the Rage-depression sooner or later.

It's a shame it's taken three albums for people to have faith, but better late than never.

-AC

I already liked Audioslave...

I was nervous because not many good bands release albums this close together. Rage never did.

I can't help but notice that Cornell seems to be breaking his promise to never get more political than "Cochise".

I adore the new album. I finally picked it up today and it blew my mind.

I'm after this album today...Wish me luck.

You bitches! 'Revelations' doesn't even have a Taiwan release date yet! Amazon!

heard a few songs at JBHIFI, didn't mind the music itself, but Chris Cornells voice dosn't sit well with me, only for about half a song or so and i've had enough.

Really?
I honestly think he has an amazingly powerful voice. I rarely get tired of it, but we are all allowed our own opinions.

Oh, man. 'Revelations'...What a great album!

The eponymous opening track is an incredible opener, but my favorite is undoubtedly 'Wide Awake'. It's such a powerful song, and the chorus could start it's own storm.

Other favorites include 'Shape Of Things To Come', 'Sound Of A Gun', 'Until We Fall', 'Jewel Of The Summertime', 'Moth'...actually, f*ck it. They're all my favorites.

Great album by a great band.

Songs and that.

Your opinion was worth the wait.
