I was really digging this cd, but spend time away from all my cds untill recently. Now I'm spinning it and I must say that I like it even more than before. In fact, its an absolutely stellar album.

    It certainly has its moments, Wide Awake is one of my favourite Cornell vocal performances period, I'd love to hear an electric version of that live rather than the acoustic version he always plays.

    I've tried numerous times, but can only get into moth, wide awake, and revelations.

    I love Revelations; great, great album. Almost equal to self-titled in my opinion.

    The album track is as about as good as it gets.

    Out of all three of Audioslave's albums...I really don't know which one is best. They all have their highs and lows. Phht...screw Rage reunion...let's get an Audioslave reunion!!!
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    I find myself listening to Revelations a lot more frequently than Carry On...
    “Life is life everywhere. Life is in ourselves and not outside us. There will be men beside me, and the important thing is to be a man among men and to remain a man always, whatever the misfortunes, not to despair and not to fall - that is the aim of life, that is its purpose.”

    Yeh Revelations is a great album.
    Who cares if the world is going down the toilet? Eddie Vedder got his mojo back!

    Revelations is no where near the first two albums except for a few songs. I think their first is their best, but Out of Exile is the most consistent. Revelations is okay, but it just feels like they weren't really even trying.

    I hate Revelations. The same repetitive riffing started getting old with Out Of Exile, which in itself was mediocre. The only songs I like are "Sound Of A Gun" and "Original Fire." Worst album Chris has ever done, the more I think about it. Or the rest of the band for that matter. Carry On is listenable in comparison, even..

    at first i hated this album, then a few months later i checked it out again and just fell in love with it

    wide awake is definetly one of cornell's best all time peformances in my book

    I was disappointed when this album first came out - but now I really like the title song alot...one of my favorites...




    But I am still glad that Cornell decided to do his own thing, and after seeing him perform 3 times (and planning on attending 4 more shows) I can totally attest to the fact that his voice is as strong as ever...and Carry On is a decent album.

    OOE is my favourite most of the time, but I like Revelations as much as I like self-titled. I think "Moth" is close to being the best thing they did - up there with "The Last Remaining Light" and "#1 Zero" for me.

    Revelations is Chris's favourite of the three, according to several interviews.

    It sounds the most cohesive to me at least, the first record had a lot of good song's on it but sounded disjointed, as if they did'nt all fit together, OOE felt a bit more solid but Man or Animal, really killed the flow of it for me.

    Whenever I want to listen to some Audioslave, Revelations is the album i always go back to - the title song is an absolute belter.

    Here's hoping he'll play it live in London...
