New Audioslave Album

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".

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.
