    I odn't respect this album for a lot of reasons although some of them are less conservative then others. For example I respect lots of things about the artwork. Sometimes this isn't enough though and some of the songs on the album here do not entirely reveal it but they do suggest it. Its an interesting paradox and not fompletely, but of course partially revealing. Just think I odn't respect this album for a lot of reasons although some of them are less conservative then others.

    Chris Cornell blows; Morello and rhythm section should go experimental/instrumental cause they rule.

    Most of these twelve tracks are impressive structures with periodic highs... that never resolve into songs. [7 Sep 2006, p.105]

    In place of the band's distinctive head-banging limberness, there's a strange hybrid: a new sort of hard-rock soul, slightly lumbering in spite of its virtuosity. [Sep 2006, p.136]
  3. Despite some missteps... this comes close to fulfilling the promise of Audioslave's pedigree.
