Out of Exile by Audioslave

Pros: Their style is really coming together.
Cons: ...

In 2002, I immediately became enamored with Audioslave's debut album. Two of the biggest bands I grew up loving - the angry rap-metallers Rage Against the Machine and the inventive metal band Soundgarden - had morphed into one. I've listened to that ...

Pros: Some amazing songs like Doesn't Remind Me, Heaven's Dead, and Be Yourself.
Cons: My interest wanes toward the end.

Chris Cornell is easily one of the top few rock vocalists to come out of the 1990s. He along with Scott Weiland, Maynard James Keenan, Shannon Hoon, and Eddie Vedder proved that the decade’s rock and roll would be remembered. As much as I love all five ...

Pros: At best, it’s a mildly entertaining diversion.
Cons: Hopelessly boring modern rock with little energy or ambition.

The members of the renowned super group Audioslave, much like Velvet Revolver, were slightly hesitant about working together when they made their first, self-titled album in 2002. The recording sessions were a feeling out process, in which three former ...

Pros: Cornell's voice, improved lyrics, excellent variety
Cons: a couple of duds, Morello's over the top solos at times

I still remember the hype that greeted the formation of Audioslave a few years back. The idea of one of the greatest rock vocalists ever (Chris Cornell, formerly of Soundgarden) combining with the trio of musicians from Rage ...

Pros: The lighter songs.
Cons: The heavier songs.

Please disregard the text of this review. My views on music have changed in recent months. I'll never forget the first time I heard about Audioslave. It was around five in the morning in mid-October. I was preparing for one of the runs that I ...

Pros: Upbeat, Sentimental, Introspective, Varied, Mostly good vocals, Mostly good lyrics
Cons: Some not-so good songs

If previous experience were the determining factor in my opinion of an album, then I would not like Out of Exile, the second of Audioslave’s three albums or, at the very least, not like it as much as I do. For one thing, I have only had a mild ...

Pros: A solo in every song!
Cons: Some of the slower stuff is on the boring side

I first heard of Audioslave just a few weeks before their debut self-titled album was released, so I never really got a chance to be hyped up for it or hear much press. The premise behind Chris Cornell of Soundgarden singing with the rest of the band ...

Pros: Chris Cornell, arrangements, atmosphere, I actually bought this
Cons: I'm still getting used to rock, can be too big and dramatic

Despite being vocal about variety in my music collection and openly expressing my support for freedom of taste, I must openly admit something. I don’t buy a lot of rock music. I know, I know, shock and dismay. However, recently, I decided to do something ...

Pros: When AUDIOSLAVE gels, they Rock
Cons: Therefore, you must be patient...

Who made who? Was AUDIOSLAVE the brainchild of Chris Cornell, refugee from SOUNDGARDEN and with a solo career that never catched fire? Was it the outcome of the estranged musicians of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ...

Pros: Average at its very best.
Cons: Its very best is just average.

Audioslave might be the best mediocre band ever assembled. In theory they should be barnstorming, in soul they should be, but somewhere along the line and in both their releases the core sound of what made both of their original bands great seems ...

Pros: great songwriting coupled with harsh guitars and again, great vocals!
Cons: Could actually use a few more slower paced rock anthems to round it out.

When releasing their sophomore effort in 2005, Audioslave I feel established that they are a true “rock band” that is here to stay. Regardless of radio play, this band seems to have continued on with making its own identity as opposed to being more of a ...

Pros: There's moments...
Cons: Of course, most of them are mowed down instantly

Three year toil and eventual fame has come to Audioslave thanks to the usual set of circumstances that rule upside-down rock culture of the new milennium: if you can team one distinct genre with another and make the transitions smooth, you’re cheered ...

Pros: Out of Exile, Doesn't Remind Me
Cons: Everything else is pretty mundane.

In my mind, an album is only as good as its opening track, because that's the important one. That's the one that keeps your attention and keeps you listening. More often than not, even if rest of the album is mediocre, you can get someone's attention ...

Pros: They absolutely sound like a band, not a gimmick!
Cons: Sugary love songs

"The only thing we put ahead of everything else is music!" Those were Chris Cornell's words when he tried explaining the name "Audioslave" couple of years ago. It was great and in-your-face. Musically and lyrically the entire first album was so ...

Pros: Some excellent songs!
Cons: Some of Morellos solos can be a bit annoying

Okay, where to get started. So there were these two bands in the ninety's right and they were at the top of there game, multiplatinum albums, a huge fan base respect from the music industry. but oh no Cornell leaves Soundgarden to go his seperate ways ...
