Feb 3, 2020This is a weird album with a ton of talent attached. Chris Cornell is of course amazing as a singer yet he is clearly not experimenting as much as he did with Soundgarden.

Jul 16, 2018Not badass as RATM, but it's this way at its manner. Maybe RATM instrumental part gained refinement with Chris Cornell vocals, but it still means simply and generic rock, but with Tom Morello's creativity about riffs and excellent rhythm section plus vocals, which makes this album very nice to listen. A supergroup that works.

May 24, 2017I will give this album an 8 based on their previous superior efforts, but since then, there are very few mainstream rock albums that can apply themselves as a competent fit or contender.

Mar 26, 2017This album is GREAT, awesome lyrics and sounds. Can't understand why so many critics disliked it. Whatever!
Best tracks: Exploder, Shadow on the Sun, I Am the Highway, What You Are, Like A Stone, Getaway Car, The Last Remaining Light. -

Jan 15, 2014Very good stuff. Chris Cornell's voice mixed with Tom Morello's guitar sound great, even if I still prefer Soundgarden. Like A Stone is awesome, Cochise, Show Me How To Live and I Am the Highway are great, too.

Nov 25, 2011It was great. A lot of good tracks off his album, Chris Cornell is a great vocalist that works will with the RATM style sound. Everyone should check out this album.

Aug 23, 2011With Chris and Zack as contributors make a nice combination of mixed tastes, while I don't feel the album as a groundbreaking phenomenon, it is one of the best well made and appealing sound list.

Oct 25, 2010Half of the cuts are interesting and the other half are just bad versions of the interesting ones. Listening to this from start to finish is a real chore and, basically, it's just too draining for it to ever be an enjoyable record.

MilanB.Jul 19, 2007I can honestly say this album is the greatest collection of songs I have ever heard, and easily one of the best albums ever recorded.

ughjlhOct 30, 2006Very solid stuff, however even if Tom's riffs are solid his solos are pathetic wannabes.

DaveNSep 28, 2006Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine might be better, but this is a solid debut nonetheless. While its expectations might be higher due to the all-star line up the band has, Chris Cornell most of the time seems comfortable with his new bandmates. They do need to tweek their sound a bit (Out of Exile fixes that error mostly), but this is expected on their first CD.

Myles#13Sep 6, 2006I picked this album up out of a discount bin, not knowing what to expect... what i got was a stellar album that blew me away on almost every single song. Audioslave is one of THE best bands out there, although their follow-up albums have failed to reach this great height. If you buy one Audioslave album, make this IT!

IanCJul 25, 2006This albumis quite simply one of the best ever recorded. These songs are some of the best songs out there. Amazing

BrianDJul 2, 2006A band that once stood for something has now been taken over by a lead singer who seems content on destroying the band with a mix worthy of a Christian Rock CD.

joadfJul 2, 2006this band has such a loveable and raw sound that they cant be denied.

mandyfMay 5, 2006Chris cornell has an amzing voice and is so talented playing guitar. This band is for real and one of the best considering all the fake rock bands around now

[Anonymous]Apr 26, 2006After 10 stellar tracks, the dull filler takes over. However, in those ten tracks, the guys are making absolutely first rate stuff. So much of this record works so well, you can forgive the few tracks that don't.

RobJApr 17, 2006An amazing album! Songs like Cochise and Show Me How To Live just blew my mind away!

OleHJan 19, 2006A modern classic. I agree with some of the other comments that it'll grow on you every time you listen to it. Grotesque bad reviews from some of the proffesionals.

BlenderThis is feel-good stuff, the sound of a rejuvenating artistic vacation. [#12, p.136]

A curious idea from its inception, pairing Soundgarden's singer with Rage's musicians promises a unique alchemy it can't entirely deliver, obscuring the latter's politics and distinct sound.
-
The result isn't a faux Rage album; rather, it's the true follow-up to Soundgarden's ''Superunknown'' that neither that band nor a solo Cornell ever managed.
