I thought the album was ok. I dont know, the album just didnt do it for me maybe i need to listen to it more. ive only listened to it 3 times. But yeah imo it is their worst album yet. Its got a couple of songs i really like but thats about it.
yah... listen to it more... it grows on you... still their worst i think... but it gets better... theres a handful of good ones...
alrighty, finally have given the album a few more spins...and i am definitely liking it more and more. funny too, i LOVE the music a lot, always, in audioslave. obviously shows my bias for the musicians of rage, particularly rhythyms, i LOVE wilk/commerford together.....seriously funky stuff, always. morello is just icing/interest to me....otherwise i always considered them a rhythym-driven band, which i personally ADORE. i like a few soundgarden songs, but never a huge fan and really only appreciate cornell now, well also in temple of the dog, but i digress.
side note - i did p/u euphoria morning...only got to listen to it once thru, and go ahead and crucify me, but yea...cornell doesn't do much for me w/o the rage boys. perhaps it will grow on me, and i also want to give soundgarden more of a go, but yea......definitely a rage girl here...and thus the bulk of my audioslave love directed there, although new-found appreciation for cornell b/c of it.
anyway, revelations is a SOLID album.
however, at this point i think out of exile is still my fave of the 3, but i do love em all.
if this does end up being their last album, at least they went out on a not-so-horrible note...i.e. last 3 tracks of Revelations being decent listening, and "Moth" probably the best track they have done since "Shadow on the Sun".
So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been
wide awake
Damn! :eek: I cannot get this outta my head. No, really!
This POWERfull ass song is attacking the living shit outta me...
and I LOVE it!

okay. so i've been listening to revelations for a bit now and i'm liking it. much prefer it to 'out of exile'. even morello's guitar histrionics i have to admit. yes even the ones inside 'jewel of the summertime'
i'm giving it an 8 at this point in time.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
"Shape of Things to Come" is now up there with title track, "wide awake" and "moth".
And I believe "Somedays" is officially the most annoying AS track recorded, surpassing the lame "Original Fire"!
Interesting. I actually agree with everything you said there.
I can't get into Somedays. I love the way Chris sounds after the breakdown and the way he sounds at the very end though. WOW! But overall that and Original Fire both don't do it for me. They are waaaaaaaaay too repetitive. Repetition can be good sometimes, especially if you like what's being repeated...but yeah these ones just don't click. I am deeply IN LOVE with the rest of the album though. Again, not every single thing is gonna hit ya .
Awwww Nothing Left to say but Goodbye! *melts* Such a gorgeous, sweet ass song!!! It kinda reminds me of solo Chris. *sigh* I adore that beauty. It's another one that's been pushed to the point of obsession. That, SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME, MOTH, UNTIL WE FALL, REVELATIONS,SOUND OF A GUN and WIDE AWAKE. I've been listening to ALL of them religiously.
I love this damn album!

Just downloaded, in the process of giving it my first listen. First song, sounds like a re-done song off both of the previous albums. Not a good sign...

I actually quite like the opening track...if u listen to the album on repeat it flows really well from "Moth" into "revelations"

lol that's a shock eh? I'm actually NOT an audioslave basher...i just know they are talented bastards who should be pushing their art form more.
But yeah, I like the way the album ends..like it's actually cohesive through the last 3 tracks, and as I mentioned above, flows into the beginning of the album too if you have it on repeat (which by the sounds of it..I'm sure you do:P).
I didn't mind out of exile (but it was overall quite mediocre like the debut) but I really did hate how awfully it ended and began..."Your Time Has Come" was cochise rehashed..and..."The Curse"...WHY was that song on the album, it's such a weak song with wooden lyrics...they should have ended with "#1 Zero", which to me would be in the top 5 audioslave songs...Luckily such a 'curse' has not befallen this album. these guys still have some way to go though if they are to be really signifcant...that's what I think

i completely agree with this. i love the whole album and can't stop listening to it, but those last three tracks get me everytime! and i'm LOVING nothing left to say but goodbye, my fave by far right now.
8 revelations - good radio song, excellent combination of morello and cornell on this one
5 one in the same - best example of the zeppelin + r&b and the best choice for a single IMO
7 sound of a gun - heard it in concert last year and it sounds like classic audioslave
6 untill we fall - this one has grown so much for me and is now one of my favorites excellent cornell tune
9 original fire - really good song that sounds even better in the context of the album
12 broken city - totally different song heavy on the morello fx
10 somedays - super pop song that i totally dig, one where morello and cornell seem to be on different planets
2 shape of things to come - such a beautiful song
11 jewel of the summertime - i'm sure rage fans wish cornell would be angry for this one. once again morello and cornell are on different planets, but i still like it. sounds like OOE more than the other tracks
3 wide awake - i read that morello said, "finally" about this one. great song that everyone should hear
4 nothing left to say but goodbye - i think cornell just went ahead and made the album he wanted to and morello did the same. a real cornell beauty that is very sweet, silly and turns out to be one of the best
1 moth - hear it is, the best song on the album and the best song in the AS catalog, IMO
BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR FOR ME, LOVE EVERY SONG FROM FRONT TO BACK
i bought it the day it came out and i love it. i think its their best album, but not much better than their first. i like every song, even the new 'be yourself', "until we fall".
before i bought the album and went through all of the song titles for some odd reason i knew moth was going to be the best. and it is. that song is amazing, just the title alone is great.

I dig the imagery and themes of that song. yeah definitely the best track on the album.
As for the worst song...it's hard to toss up between which irritates me more..original fire, somedays or jewel of the summertime...i usually skip them promptly hehe
Revelations is such a relief! I knew Audioslave still had the "fire" in them but it definitely didn't show on Out of Exile. The band really restrained themselves on that one and it didn't pay off.
I do have a few criticisms of Revelations...like the fact that Cornell kind of shouts his way through the album. He really doesn't "sing" anything. But I'd certainly prefer shouting to "Doesn't Remind Me." I agree with the person who said "Somedays" is an annoying song.
Revelations is surely Cornell's best record since Down on the Upside. My favorite songs are "Broken City," "One and the Same," and "Wide Awake." Crank up the volume, hit play, and just let it blast!

very glad i got this album..huge improvement from Out of Exile imo.
can't think of a bad song on it!

Sure is a good purchase, solid, consistent and has a flow, something the last two albums did'nt feel like they had to me, they both had some classic songs on, this one just feels solid from track 1 to 12.:)

just downloaded it, can't wait to hear it now
die on a hilltop.. eyeing the crows,
waiting for your lids to close..
but you want to watch as they peck your flesh..
Ironic that they go for the eyes first

Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Audioslave's 1st is still my favorite, though.
I was just excited to see Audioslave live at MSG in 10/05!!
And now we know that Cornell is planning solo time!?!? I can't wait!!

I love Somedays. Sounds more like a Soundgarden song than an Audioslave song IMO.
