    They're thorough, I'll give 'em that. Should I go for a third round? :D

    i think this will be a huge flop.

    its a pile of shit by cornell's standards, but its also nowhere near as good as justin timberlake or nelly furtado's stuff with timberland, which is listenable at least, and good in places.

    hell, i even like some of their songs. i just cant handle any of the cornell/timberland shit. it seems FAKE and has CASH COW written all over it.

    well done on the cartoons by the way, very funny xxx

    Kind of agree with you there. I like the songs, but I was expecting some pretty cool beats from Timbaland because he has produced some really great, catchy stuff. But here it's just generic, tinny drum machines.

    What the fuck is up with the backing track to Ground Zero? I don't think hilarity was the intent.

    I am such an absolute and utter coward. I suck, people. I should be banned from 10C because I'm not worthy of you.

    Since listening to Long Gone I haven't had the guts, the courage, the intestinal fortitude to listen to anything else from this collaboration. I'm just scared and I feel shame.

    Shame.

    Do not feel shame. I also suffer from 'THE FEAR' and cannot bring myself to listen to anything else :(
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Just imagine everything you never imagined a decent musician doing, then imagine a monkey yelping in the background. Boom - that's Ground Zero. If you imagine Cornell trying to sound 20 years younger, and make his rawk music "danceable", that's Watch Out. The rest of it is pretty much just variations on Long Gone's style.

    I said this on the Cornell boards - it's like a slightly-too-old uncle trying to act hip, gripping desperately to the zeitgeist, telling you how much he likes those "Aztec Monkeys" all the kids love.

    Oh, and thanks to everyone who complimented the cartoons. :)

    Neither of you should be ashamed. You are both are lucky! I wish I had never listened to those songs... :(

    It is sorta fun to watch the Cornell boards defend it as "artistic experimentation" though. :p You could put a piece of shit on a stick, set it on fire, put Cornell's name on it, and they'd say it was a genius form of self-expression.

    Oh. No. You. Didn't.

    Excuse while I go die laughing.

    Thanks for these :D

    Just back from my hols so had missed the others. Just had a look at your site and thanks for the laughs. I'm mainly a lurker on the Cornell boards and it seems pretty serious over there.

    The only great or amazing Cornell songs are:

    Can't Change me (probably the best or second best)
    Flutter Girl
    Follow My Way (great acoustic Zeppelin vibe)
    Mission (sounds like a new "Reach Down")
    Pillow Of Your Bones (dark Soundgarden feel)
    Billie Jean (only great song from carry on)

    This is a fact. All of his other songs are either just good, decent, or crap.

    However much fun you had looking at them, it was even more fun coming up with them. Mockery can be so much fun. :D

    But seriously, cheers. :) My fragile artist ego really appreciates all these kind words.

    And how we are a bunch of close-minded dinosaurs, stuck in the 90's wishing Cornell still had long hair and made 'grunge' music...
