    it's like he's trading the proper, enduring fame he had with his loyal fans for the fickle, flavour-of-the-month fame that Timbaland might give him. :(

    Yep, that's pretty much the size of it. I highly doubt more than about 10% of his existing fan base are going to be interested in any of this. It seems like he totally left the musical side up to Timbaland right down to the cheesy 'is this mic on' 'sing the next verse Chris' shit. Had it been a mixture of their two styles it could have been fucking cool, but he really has gone the whole hog.

    Exactly - my friend's first reaction was that Chris looked like Johnny Depp in that pic with the scarf. Plus, what Timbaland-loving teenage girl - the clear target demographic of this album - has even heard of Soundgarden? And even the ones who've heard of Audioslave won't associate the name Chris Cornell with them, most likely.

    And let's not forget the possibility of a Billie Jean duet with David Cook. :eek:

    At this point I think Chris Cornell would be lucky if David Cook did a duet with him ;)

    I can't believe we even know who David Cook is. :p

    What's most infuriating about this is the fact that this record is blatantly going to sell a shit load, which means there may be more to come......

    I kinda disagree. If it does sell it will be on the Timbaland attachment alone. But even those people won't dig this.

    Cornell doesn't find success on his own, if we speak of success in terms of sales. Euphoria Morning was a huge commercial disappointment and Carry On even moreso. I have always been one to defend Carry On. Its not that bad. At least it was an honest record. And EM was fucking fantastic.

    This is shit. At least his voice is in fine form. Compared to everything since Out of Exile

    "this is what my solo career will be...me doing things that people probably won't expect": here's an interview with Foster from radio station 96rockWBBB the day before the Raleigh show. Chris looks back through his career and his various collaborations and describes "Scream" as "the least pop album that [Timbaland] has ever made". You can also watch video footage of the interview.

    Fuck off, Chris, it's still by far the worst album you've ever made. :p

    lets start the "anti-chris cornell street team" :D

    we'll just do everything in our power to make sure this record FAILS (though chris has already done most of the hard work for us)

    most of yiu have unrealistic expectations of the man. Agree with some of your negative comments about the new songs, but still, where'd you expect him to go after Carry On? -Okay, yep, I can vaguely sense the answer to that one.

    hey... i think all of his true fans here will say they were fine with what seemed to be a natural decline or progression in his music over time... the path from SG - carry on was what i would expect for someone his age and everything... theres just nothing natural or sincere about this latest album... any hateful words are just spawned from being sincerely heartbroken

    Hol crap, even the thought of him doing the promo shots in those poses a-la JT or any other generic pop-star was frightening but look at his face (sic!), maybe it's just the way the shadow falls but I think it's mascara:eek:
    Don't go messing with machoes!

    Fair enough. Something about it does feel wrong.

    This is pretty stupid. The Cornell message boards seem to be censoring anything negative said about his latest work.

    In other words, a shit ton of censoring is taking place.

    Had to stop here last and then I'm off. Of course, if I told you anything I'd have to kill you and I don't want that. Haha. Take care...

    This is my favourite thread ever. The guy doesn't like one album, and says he won't be promoting it: "OMG YOU HATEZ CHRIS!!! OFF THE TEAM!!! OFF THE FORUM!!!"

    They sure do take their idolising seriously on that street team, don't they? :p

    I'm so pissed at this. They are doing this to clean the board, get rid of all "haters". But I'm gonna stay there just out of spite!

    Well, if you do, the 1st thing you should do there is start a thread with your comic strips and CC's career graph :D
