Those of you who clicked on this thread probably know what I'm talking about

One of the Coolest Rock songs I've heard in a very long time

If you don't have any idea what this song is and who sings it - Even if you don't like Audioslave - this is the final song on the most recent album - and it should be checked out

For those that know this song - Do you agree with my analysis?

    Yes, one of the best Audioslave songs. I love it!

    YES! :D I love this song to death! There was a time for awhile there when I was listening to this on repeat NON-STOP! Serioulsy! I still can't listen to it just once. Without a doubt one THE greatest songs from Audioslave and one of THE best and strongest from Revelations. What a way to end the album! Damn! It just attacks!

    Yes, I clicked here because I knew what you were talking about....:)

    And yes Moth is, by far, one of the best Audioslave songs, one of the better rock songs to date. So good because it does what a good song should: the lyrics give you, paint you a vivid and emotional picture; the vocals are immense; the music fits the moodiness...

    The song is absolute gold. Good for Audioslave!

    I've got the 7-minute long non-LP version of it if anyone wants me to upload it. It's pretty sweet...longer solo, chorus, extra verse. Great stuff. Just PM me becuase I'll probably forget to check back here.

    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    revelations is an amazing album. wide awake is the best audioslave song yet. i would put moth 3rd after wide awake and cochise.

    Well said. I really love the song because it actually has passion and emotion to it... raw anger, lust, and desperation... something that has been really lacking in most of Audioslave's stuff. The lyrics and delivery are very Soundgarden-like (props to Chris Cornell for penning lyrics that us angsty youths can relate to again!), and the music is classic Rage/Audioslave.

    Great song. It's gotta be in the top 5 of the Audioslave library.

    My absolute favorite track off of this album! I said that I thought that this should have been a single and I stand by that. I know that it doesn't go with the typical rock track flow, but that's a good thing, imo. The airwaves need something different.

    I must go listen to this song now. goodbye!

    Personally I LOVE Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye, it's just the sweetest thing I've ever heard from Chris. And Until We Fall just makes me melt. All in all, my favourite out of the three albums by far.
