    Deep cuts like "Man or Animal" are as hot as anything this side of Led Zeppelin II. [Jul 2005, p.95]

    Lean, hard, strong, and memorable, a record that finds Audioslave coming into its own as a real rock band.

    A muscular piece of work... [but] a tangible sense of genuine passion is, ultimately, absent. [Jul 2005, p.112]

    dude, this album rocked! i loved your time has come, out of exile,be yourself, and doesn't remind me! There singles were AWESOME! but they should have made a video for Heavens Dead. That was pretty good also. I loved their soft side. But Rock Hard Revelations is even better.… Expand
