Chris Cornell — Carry On

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) June 5, 2007 3:28 pm
Much like Audioslave's three forgettable releases, Chris Cornell's second solo album starts off by completely misleading the listener. Its conceit is that the singer has finally heard a copy of Badmotorfinger after all these years and has gone back to writing the riffs and wails that made him famous. After "Arms Around," the third track...

We figured that with everybody raggin on Chris Cornell we'd dust off this puppy and try to give him a fair shake. It didn't work. That "Billie Jean" cover surely sounded like an inspired vocal performance when they did a playback listening session, but it's basically the butchering of a classic. Listen, there's a reason why Ian...

Coming from almost anyone else I'd just quietly accept that they just made a dance record with Timbaland. But this is Chris Cornell, the dude from Soundgarden. I know everybody needs to grow and branch out and evolve as artists and whatever bullshit, but this is basically a betrayal of rock 'n' roll and of everything good (pre-"Spoonman...

Chris Cornell Carries On

It's scary to think about, but Chris Cornell is 42 years old. The guy who wrote part of the soundtrack to many a grunge kid's adolescence is hitting middle age, which means his acolytes who grew up slamdancing to "Rusty Cage" and swaying jadedly to "Black Hole Sun" aren't far behind. You'd expect a guy his age to be feeling...
