i am still obsessivly listening to this album. i gave it a rest for a couple weeks, when i wasn't really listening to much at all, but since sept. 5 i've definately spun this album way more than anything else. by far the best album i've picked up this year (still need thom yorke and justin timberlake) IMO. i know this is the site of negativity for everything non-PJ, and all you who didn't by the album will blindly bash it. but that's ok, cause this is MUSIC. and what you appreciate is totally individual, and i'm one individual that totally appreciates revelations. in fact, i can't get enough of it.

    I haven't listened to the record in a while but heard revelations in the car on the way home and it was just kinda of "meh", so nothing has changed on my end

    I plugged my headphones into a steaming pile of feces the other day. It sounded like Revelations.

    The only songs on the album that I can officially say 3 months later, that I still dislike are Untill We Fall and Broken City - Other than that, this album is a Riff-Lover's Wet Dream


    Moth and Shape of things to Come take the cake

    Sound of a Gun is classic Audioslave

    Feel the same way.

    I really like the album but i hate the song Broken City, having said that i would rather listen to Brokent City than to Last Kiss one more time ever again.

    Im looking forward to the Chris Cornell solo album more than anything Audioslave... Chris is so much more talented than RATM band members...

    The RATM sound is all over their albums, and that is what makes them boring. Those guys never changed over 4 albums of material (I admit the first two were pretty decent though)

    I love broken city. I think Revelations is definitely their best album to date. It has a much different sound to it. The second album was good but didn't really progress at all.

    yea um the battle of los angeles was completely different from evil empire


    they were headed in an amazing direction
    Let's not be negative now. Thumper has spoken

    If Rage was going in an interesting direction then Soundgarden was going off on an even more extreme tangent. DOTU is my favourite record and they were at the height of their creativity.

    Damn shame.

    I still haven't tried listening to this album.
    Both first audioslave's albums were quite similar, and I fear a bit that third is again the same thing...

    I've kinda begun to enjoy this record more than I had. It's still very generic in parts, but that just makes songs like Shape of Things To Come, Wide Awake and Moth stand out all the more. I think Shape is my favourite.

    Like someone else said, I'm really looking forward to Cornell's solo album more than anything else Audioslave does, simply because of AS's predictability. I find the song One and the Same on Revelations too damn ironic, just cos the name sums up everything I don't like about Audioslave. I'm a fan - I just can't get as enthusiastic as I'd like about their music, because I feel I've heard it all before.

    Every AS album just makes me wish more and more that Soundgarden were still together - I listened to Down on the Upside after Revelations, and wow. DOTU is just a far better album, in every capacity. The riffs are better, the lyrics are better, and it has more changes in style than just "rocker, rocker, ballad, rocker."

    Hmmm. I feel better for getting that off my chest, for some reason.:)
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    the third album does have a bit more difference in the overall sound than the first two, IMO. glad that i've been hearing, "revelations" and "original fire" on the radio. its the whole funk thing that is making the difference on this one.
