    Hate to get off topic, but how badass is this version of Seasons? Awesome.

    Even if the song was great, he is giving absolutely no emotion during this song (on leno). He seemed either disinterested or high.

    I dont get this whole "soundgarden reunite thing" Even if they did, what makes anyone think they would be sold out? Hardly anyone now knows who soundgarden is, its not like they were nirvana.

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    Kurt Cobain was a media whore. There. I said it.

    If you had Timbaland with a gun to your dogs head backstage you would just want to hurry up and get it over also. Once you sign on with Timbaland your ass is his. Just wait and see what kind of things he has in store for Chris. It could be real ugly.

    that song was pox with a capital P! i take back most of what i said i saw Chris in October and it was really fun, but this is a huge let down if he tours my town again im takin a sign to the show with a message for him. i guess he his tryin new things and wants to see the reaction to it, i know thats what he's always done. i didnt like his last album too much either but his live show was great so if they still are ill be there again

    Yep, he looked bored as fuck. Still, I'm sure people will be shouting out for it at concerts in 15 years time like they do for Black Hole Sun, Outshined etc ;)

    That last line over at stereogum, says it all: "Shit sandwich."

    How can anyone defend this hack?

    as a truly inspirational artist, it is shocking that cornell would stamp his name on something so non-creative. i am deeply saddened by this turn of events, not because of his change in musical sound, but by his lack of originality. THAT'S the problem here. i'm not looking for the soundgarden sound, i'm looking for cornell playing like he means it. and i'm not getting that. bummer.

    sobriety and a solid family life can unfortunately take a fucking shit on one's creative career. good luck, chris. hope to hear something classic again from you someday.

    So many fools on here complaining about Cornell. Havent you heard his interviews he dont make the same record twice. So this album he doing something different. No big deal. His voice is unmatched. Lives shows are great.
    the beatles have the white album,chris cornell has the gay album.

    Chris seems to be going through a crisis that a lot of 60's and 70's bands went through in the 80's...completely alientaing their original fanbases by making commercial pap that utilizes modern trends.


    I agree with that.....


    like Bob Dylan in the 80's......


    There's nothing wrong with pop music but the new Cornell material is simply just very weak considering it comes from such a talented musician......

    Lame production, thin beats and bleeps may work for Nelly Furtado but not Cornell.....

    what is really galling is his voice is clearly in good shape.


    the song is better with a band, maybe i will go see this tour...

    I'll probably go and see him just for the old songs, and who knows, perhaps the rest of the album has some better songs - one can only hope.
