    Loved his first solo album....
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Cornell isn't that good. sure, Soundgarden had a couple good albums but people around here think he's like one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the 90's......which is laughable.

    His in studio voice is amazing (Slaves and Bulldozers, Ugly Truth, Drawing Flies, Jesus Christ Pose etc) but live I really don't like his voice at all. Even the 92' shows his voice isnt that great.

    The 90's? He's one of the greatest rock singers of all time. No doubt.

    Somewhat agree; he has a powerful voice, but he's turned into a complete douche.

    Cornell > Vedder > Staley > Cobain

    One of the best ever Singer/ Song Witers Ever? - 100% TRUE.

    I think the outcome this very interesting album will all depend on what Cornell does on it. His song writing, use of vocal, and lyrics to some degree. I can really appreciate what Timbaland does on his side. He says he'd rank his work on this album as his best with Timberlake as second and Furtado as third. I have both Timberlake albums (got them for free) and their excellent for what they are. I mostly play the last one. The production is top notch, plus Timbaland's musical talent is extremely obvious. I heard at least half of Furtado's album and it was really good. That "Say it Right" was excellent. The stuff he does is the best, IMO, in that pop genre.

    Will this album sound like those two. I really don't think it will. Timbaland knows how to work with different people, obviously. His part will be there. Cornell's side will make this album what it essentially is. His mood, his songs have way more depth, substence than does Timberlake's or Furtado's or the hip-hop artist that have worked with Timbaland. Possibly Timbaland is so excited about this one because he knows it has the power to be a classic album in the long term sense, per longer than will his other best work. And that will be credited to Chris BadMotherFucker Cornell.

    i think all twenty Cornell fans hang out on this board. Its laughable to think he is in the same league as Vedder.

    Well, vocal talent he's above Vedder. Thats obvious to anyone. He'd be in the same league as Plant and Mercury and very few others. Use of vocals in the song, he's in the top of that category too; along with Vedder. The way the two of them use the melody is crazy and good. My favorites of my favorite style of singer.

    I laugh at the people here who are so intimidated by Cornell's popularity. Only a few of many Cornell fans would post here, just as only 1% of PJ fans that I've met post here. In fact, I've met hundreds of PJ fans none of which have ever posted or even know about this place. Why is his popularity so bothersome? It doen't take away from PJ.

    Good post! Also people seem to think that claiming Cornell is better somehow is a disrespect to Vedder. They are both INCREDIBLE talents. However, some of Cornell's performances in the early 90's are epic. How can you listen to Temple of the Dog and not get chills down your spine. His performance on that album leaves me mystified every time I hear it. With that said, I met him during his tour last year and he was a douche. I would have preferred to meet Eddie.

    based on your signature (that you think Ten is the greatest album of all time) it doesnt surprise me that you dont appreciate Cornell's talent.

    The problem with Chris Cornell is it's been almost a decade since he has done anything worth mentioning, I mean Audioslave was what it was but I was incredibly dissapointed by the complete pile of shit he called his second album, like Euphoria Morning was (and is) a good record, somewhere along the way he threw himself at the middle of the road. He's like the anti Mark Lanegan, instead of getting better the more solo work he releases and time he spends away from his band, Cornell just keeps falling towards footnote status
