It all started with that lame ass bond 007 song he did. The beginning of the end, right there!

I liked Carry On and I liked that song.

I enjoy a little Timberlake and Furtado now and then, but they fit the genre...it works for them. Cornell and pop hip-hop are like oil and water, nails on a chalkboard to me. He doesn't possess one cell of pop or hip-hop in his entire body, and it just doesn't work. But all of his choices and lifestyle changes lately are so shallow and cheesy, I don't think he's just "exploring" artistically. I think he's having a midlife crisis.

ETA: SO, midlife crisis isn't exactly an original observation, lol....seems to be the general consensus....so I'm a little slow, ok? ;-p

These are supposed to be "non-Verizon" dates, meaning that he won't be playing just Scream shite. I'll be at the Tucson show; if he plays less than two hours and more than four new songs ("Two Drink Minimum" certainly excluded), I may just rush the stage and smash a guitar over his head.

Reading over the revamped forum on the official site, I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe this album will (mercifully) never get released. Word has it that early next year is the soonest it would come out; if that's the case, I'm not alone in my opinion that that would be an foolish time, given how long the songs out presently have been available. Perhaps Timbaland's waiting for a song to "catch fire" as a single, to quote the forum dwellers -- but if not ... ?

Personally, I'm hoping (praying) that "Two Drink" is actually the first single for a more bluesy, R-and-B album Cornell cut completely in secret, and this Scream shit is just a well-thought-out smokescreen.

Thank goodness for these. I might make one of these shows. I think it may be a last shot at me "feeling" the music and I know that it can be.

He hasn't one cell of pop in his body? How about most of Down On the Upside, or all of Euphoria Morning. There are some really good pop tunes on there. Sunshower? Or maybe we just have a difference of opinion of whats considered pop

Is there anything on youtube of this? I'd love to see this trainwreck.
