Audioslave, The Almighty

i have a good stereo system that i love at home, but i'm visiting my mom and she has the best home stereo system i've ever heard. it's the product of her obsession and cost thousands. (english accent): and i've got it up to eleven!

i put in Audioslave's Revelations and it was like god coming out the speakers. this album has to be the best by them. its the best rock music i've heard in a long, long time. well, i would have to be the best since Binaural. best power-rock in so so long.

don't understand those who dismissed this album. its straight up power rock that is better than both previous albums. personally i can't put it down. MOTH, SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME, and WIDE AWAKE have to be the best AS songs ever. the whole album rocks unbelievably good, IMO. well i do skip JEWEL OF THE SUMMERTIME, but an album this great is allowed a misstep. that song could have rocked but cornell is on a different planet as the band. he has as much angst as a 5 year old with an icecream cone on that one.

"Wide Awake" is a gem. "Moth"....a stunner. One of the best songs to cross my ears in years.

I'm more interested in intelligent and pushing music than I am in a 40-something year old's level of angst. Overall "Revelations" pleases me. And you've the correct idea: it's meant to be played as loud as tolerable.

aaaah the beauty of Cornell and a really really good stereo system.

I can't really think of a Cornell song that I don't like (altho I am a bit tired of the "laughing monkey" guitar lick that is featured in EVERY AS song)

soon the solo Cornell will come out

I've listened to it, but I still can't wrap my head around the idea of Tom Morello and Chris Cornell collaborating. I just don't hear any synergy at all. I really hope Cornell goes back to his solo career, and the remaining members can find a frontman who fits their style better.

Moth is in my list of top three AS songs, definitely... the other two here are good too... but besides those, I feel the album is pretty weak. It really doesn't have a personality.

i love there first album, alot of classic songs on there. cochese is fucking awesome, its exactly what i would have pictured a cornell/ rage collaboration would sound like. . .there last two albums are pretty good but not nearly as good as the first

good post. my thoughts exactly.

I was disappointed with Revelations. I don't like it as much as Out of Exile or their first one.

Revelations is definitely their best album to date. I love the whole thing. Can't wait for the next one.

Great album by 1 of the best singers ever.

oh yeah, me to. angst may not be the right word. i was just saying that his mood doesn't seem to "go with" that of the others on JEW OF THE SUMMERTIME. DANDELION is probably the most .....(you pick the word) of the cornell catolog and is my all time AS favorite

Dandelion is....(insert any adjective for "lovely" with regards to a man in a band that used to make people crowd surf!). I can appreciate that things (including his musical nature) have tempered over the years; the same can be said for PJ. But as long as it's good, means something, says something, then I'm all ears.

Dandelion....love it!
