To me they just sound like a toothless version of RATM mushed up into an easy to swallow form. Plus they all seem to be a little up their own asses half the time, and there's not enough innovation or complexity. And with the kind of line-up Audioslave have, there's no excuse for that.
I could go on, but the NME review pretty much sums up what I think of them http://www.nme.com/reviews/11072.htm
Still, I have high hopes for the new album. Anything which includes Chris Cornell and Tom Morello is worth looking forward to.
Yeah but NME think that The Bravery are good. So I've written off anything they say. Especially since they blatantly posted a misinterpretation of something PJ Harvey said on stage and re-arranged it to make it seem like she said she was retiring.
I think when you're a band, as you said, with a line-up like Audioslave. You can't help but be a little conceded. I think they just needed to gel, although I still love the album. I don't think it resembled Rage at all. Other than the guitar effects, the guitar was vastly different and so was the bass used.

I wouldn't know, I don't follow NME, I just found that review randomly.
There were times when the riffs themselves sounded like bloated Rage. I'll admit, I probably haven't listened to them enough to pass judgment, but I really do find them dull.
