Not sure if anyone has posted anything about this... but I thought the article below was interesting. Love Cornell, but I'm not sure about this particular collaboration. Hoping it's great.
Timbaland Calls Collaboration with Chris Cornell His 'Best Work'
Originally posted Thursday March 27, 2008 11:15 AM EDT
In-demand hip-hop producer Timbaland is making a rock and roll crossover. On Ryan Seacrest's "On Air" radio show Thursday, it was announced that he is producing Chris Cornell's third solo album.
"This is the best work I've done in my career," Timbaland told Seacrest. And Cornell – a former member of Audioslave and, most famously, Soundgarden – was equally enthusiastic about the collaboration. Said Cornell: "This is the most excited I've been about an album in years. The music is natural, not self-conscious ... open."
Predicting Cornell will be the "first rock star in the club", Timbaland says he's currently mixing the album, and hopes to release it within a month. No title or released date has been confirmed.
In February, guests at PEOPLE's pre-Grammy party at the Avalon in Los Angeles got an early taste of Cornell's new music – as the rocker performed a song at the bash, which featured Timbaland and a fleet of his former collaborators including Missy Elliott. Timbaland has also famously worked with Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado on their recent projects.

I don't know about Cornell being the first rock star in the club (The Clash's beats were club hopping back in the 80's quite nicely) but I'm looking forward to the sound. Bring. It. On.

Everyone else want to keep that in mind? kthnxbai.
Yogi is from Buckcherry and The Wallflowers
Chris had an EXCELLENT backing band. None of them hired guns, actually all professional musicians from other big-ish bands.
Once i saw who they all were, and went and saw him, all doubt about him touring solo was gone.
plus it cant be worse than Carry On.
"In your case, I'll check my brain at the door and we'll start even, okay?"
Have you thanked a taper today?
Carry On is pretty bad.
Plus the James Bond theme You Know My Name has some awesome CC howling at the end...You know my naaaaammeee!!!
And yet, I would get his next album without thinking twice.
I guess I just love Euphoria Morning that much.

It's weird cause if I listen to individual tracks from Carry On, I do like some of them, yet if I try to listen to it all the way through it's not so good. I just think it was way too many half baked ideas stuffed on to one album.
I find the same thing. In that the songs are much better individually. I think this album seems to have some potential. I think it may be better than Carry On and be a interesting album for his catolog.

I spit up all over my keyboard.
this is gonna be junk, I can feel it.
I'm still intrigued tho.
It's not all bad though, new album means a tour.
...and Carry On is not that bad. About half the tracks are really solid songs that make an excellent addition to the CC catalog.
Three crooked hearts, swirls all around
You can't spell Gossard without G-O-D
Thank You! I was getting pissed reading this thread then I read your post, the last one, thank god someone else knows whats up...Carry On is a solid album, all the hate is totally without merit.
And of COURSE Timbaland producing doesnt mean Cornell is going hip hop...cmon thats silly people.
You read my mind.
ha
Beyond the Wheel sucks, I have no idea why people sight this as an example of CC's greatness. I would much rather listen to a mediocre song from Revelations than that stupid cheesy metal dreck.
