Audioslave by: Audioslave
What happens when you put the guy behind the ultrahypnotic vocals of Soundgarden and the expertise and ass kicking guitarist of Rage against the machine? The result: a new and recharged band collectively known as Audioslave! Hmmm... with this formula what could go wrong right?! Wrong!!
When i first learned about this band rehash i quickly thought of one thing: this is an either make it or break it kind of deal. Why? Because fans of Soundgraden and RATM still expect their beloved bands' distinct sound and with Audioslave... well let's just say they'll be needing new groupies.. hehe. The thing is, they both want to stay out of their bands shadows but they just can't! They're known now because of who they were with before so they can't just expect people to automatically like their new sound, they have to earn it.
So did they?! Well Audioslave's self titled album consists of 14 tracks and i must say, they have a bitchin'l first single, "Cochise" with a pretty cool video too, whereas we see these old time rockers do their own thang with matching fireworks pa! Show me how to live is also a pretty good song and it's nice to hear it in the airwaves (better than taiwanese boybands i always say!) although i got really sick when Like a Stone got overplayed i mean puh-leeze! It started to be really irritating. Set it Off, Shadow on the Sun, and Exploder was also good with great guitar riffs courtesy of Mr. Morello of course! All in all, the album is a pretty good one with a few techno riffs here and there, trying to catch up with the modern technology i guess. Let's just hope there's no break ups this time but for now, rock on!
