Scream Image
  • Summary: The latest solo album for the singer/guitarist was produced by Timberland and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 19
  2. Negative: 6 out of 19
  1. What's more surprising than Scream's R&B bells and whistles (provided by überproducer Timbaland) is that Cornell almost succeeds at that goal without tarnishing his hard-rawkin' legacy.
  2. 60
    Scream has balls, Cornell vacating his comfort zone with admirable readiness. [Apr 2009, p.98]
  3. It never seems like a collaboration, it seems like it was assembled by committee, discussed in boardrooms, farmed out to contract players and stitched together on computer.

    As a pop album, I have heard worst. As a Chris Cornell... it is the worst. It's hard to believe that the guy once was the lead of legend bands such as Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden and Audioslave. I understand that any artist that has been doing music for so long, might want to try something new. This might be new for him, but we've heard this type of pop music so many times before. Timbaland was obviously not inspired on this. He might have done it simply to get more visibility, and of course more money, but I taught his success with You Know My Name would've been enough. On the cover, you see him breaking his guitar, which says all about the album because you won't hear any of it. I sure hope he buys himself a new one, so that we can forget this mess. Still, I gave this album a 5. Simply because it let itself listen easily, there some interesting moments... mostly the hidden track which is an acoustic song. Expand

    Too much over production on too many songs. He is better than that.
