Audioslave by Audioslave

Pros: As good as you'd expect; Rage shows some versatility.
Cons: none

The on-again-off-again project is finally on and with a name. Sure, "Audioslave" is kind of cheesy, but it's a lot less cumbersome than "Chris Cornell and the remaining members of Rage Against the Machine." I'm so glad I'm not saying that anymore. ...

Pros: Powerful playing and singing with enough pop accessibility that I can get into it.
Cons: A weird track or two towards the end of the album.

The notion of the supergroup is as old as rock’n roll itself. From Sun records’ Million Dollar Quart ...

Pros: some great songs
Cons: bland, standard rockers

For some time, I had heard about the rock "supergroup" known as Audioslave, but I wasn't very familiar with them. I heard the single "Cochise" on the radio, but I had no clue who the band were or what groups the members even came from. Finally I got hold ...

Pros: An Excellent Debut from Audioslave.
Cons: Not as Groundbreaking as their work with Soundgarden & Rage.

If there were two hard rock bands that made an impact musically in the 1990s, they were Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine. Soundgarden were one of the leading bands in the early 90s grunge scene with Nirvana and Pearl Jam with their...

Pros: strong song structures, keeps you on your toes
Cons: Cochise sucks, plain and simple

In the music industry, surviving a change of lead vocalists and keeping your popularity is perhaps the hardest thing a rock band can accomplish. Let us not forget that fans of Van Halen were willing to deal with Sammy Hagar after Diamond...

Pros: It rocks, and it doesn't!
Cons: It took so long to get it together

INTRO

For those unaware, Audioslave is the project featuring the remaining members of Rage Against The Machine (RATM), and former Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell. In Early 2002, Audioslave was slated to be one of the featured...

Pros: First half.
Cons: Second half.

For the life of me, I'll never figure out how the union of politically extremist rap-rockers and a wildly interesting metal band yielded a 70's arena rock band. Somehow, though, Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden managed to do just this....

Pros: Good lyrics, generally good music, musical growth from all members
Cons: There's some forgettable material here, some inappropriate guitar work

The supergroup, as it is usually called, has become an important and essential part of rock and roll history. From the earliest tales of the Masked Marauders (a fictitious supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul...

Pros: Vocals, Music
Cons: Aren't releasing follow-up fast enough

In case you didn't see my handle... mostly it's Chris Cornell's vocals and lyrics, (which I always loved) - but combined with Tom Morello's guitar and Tim Cummerford's bass you get this incredible, explosive end-result...I don't like to call it ...

Pros: Good mix of hard rockers and mellow numbers.
Cons: Weakens in the middle.

I don’t ever recall a specific time when I actually heard of Audioslave. There had always been ideas of a “supergroup” floating around in late 2001 – early 2002, and I think it was probably sometime in 2002 that the name Audiosla ...

Pros: SOUL POWER.
Cons: THE LACK OF SOUL POWER.

If you really wanted to review an album accurately and scientifically, you would have to dissect it piece by piece, rip it apart song by song and place them neatly in two keep it/discard it piles. But nah, that's all wrong, 'cause, you know, this is ...

Pros: Mostly good songs, great sound, puts some of my trust back in alternative.
Cons: I've been listening to too much White Stripes.

Update: I love this record. Five stars. End update I'm sure you all know the story by now. Rage Against the Machine= gone. Soundgarden= gone. (RATM-gone) plus (Soundgarden-gone) = Audioslave. If that made any sense at all. Ah, it's so nice to be ...

Pros: ...
Cons: ...

Audioslave is:Chris Cornell - vocalsTom Morello - guitarsTim Commerford - bassBrad Wilk - drumsSure, it was sad when Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden quit making music, but they both had good runs.  Never ...

Pros: Just A Great Rock Album
Cons: Some Experimentation Misses The Mark

Rage Against the Machine and Soundarden are two bands that while they may seem incredibly different on the surface, their strange crossing of destinies may not be that unlikely. For instance, Rage was at the top of its game at the time that vocalist...

Pros: Solid Rock album
Cons: Song formula gets a tad repetitive

Every now and then bands will break up or individual members will try to expand and branch out in the business. We’ve seen it in rock (Tool’s front man joined A Perfect Circle), we’ve seen it in pop (various members of N’Sync went solo)...
