[The DARK]

So far the new Tool & Pearl Jam's 'Avacodo' (funnily enough both released on the same day) are my
2 biggest disappointments of the year.

Don't like the new Pearl Jam? Why not? At least it's consistant.

[BH]

Actually, didn't love the song.  We don't agree on Audioslave but I love the softer side of Chris myself.  I listen to the above unplugged all the time and actually found a better source somewhere that doesn't have the small feedback. I meant to post it here but I can't remember where the link is now.

My relationship with Pearl Jam has always been very up & down. I was a huge fan right from the start but they lost me for a few years in the middle there. Riot Act pulled me right back in & I went crazy buying all the bootlegs etc. I was really looking forward to The Avocado but it just doesn't do anything for me.

I liked it initially but I rarely reach for it.

Anyone else heard the new track (No Such Thing) from Chris's 2nd solo album on his myspace page?

After Audioshit I was hoping for something a little quieter, more retrospective.
Not a bad song but not that good either  :-/

Any thoughts?

hmm don´t know what to think about it. But it isn´t a bad song. I love his voice. But I was expecting something like the euphoria morning stuff, too. We´ll see. :)

Another new song on Chris's myspace She'll Never Be Your Man:
http://www.myspace.com/chriscornell
Very average IMO.

I read two 3/5 star reviews in the UK press.
I was so looking forward to this but I doubt I'll buy it now  :-/

[Angry Ewok]

Okay... so apparently I like Chris Cornell.

Sweet.  You have had an epiphany?

I heard him do this live on Howard Stern - it had to be a year ago.  Very average is being generous.  He was talking about what the song was about and the jist of it was that one of his friend's girlfriends left him for a..............LESBIAN!!!!  And how that was particullary awfull and how that.................LESBIAN will never have a.............PENIS, so she can never be your man.  "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" has more depth.

My iPod was shuffling all of my James Bond playlists (over 600 songs) and Casino Royale kind of got me in the mood for Soundgarden. Soundgarden, Audioslave, and Chris Cornell's solo stuff is all linked together on my iPod... so I've found myself listening to this stuff the past couple of days.

I really dig Ghosts, from Carry On.

They did that to me, but after a while I just got sidetracked from them & into all sorts of other music & just went on.  Nothing against em, just find myself not really searching them out of my collection

I did break out the first 3 - Stone Temple Pilots albums the other day - I still dig that for time to time

[dragonboy]

Seriously...wtf?!! Even my good man BH will have a hard time defending these new tracks  ;)

CC has & always will be one of my fav vocalists of all time...he still sounds great but can't write a good tune for sh*t these days  :'(

I really liked Euphoria Morning but Carry On just isn't doing anything for me. I don't know whats happened to him lately perhaps it's fatherhood or married life or lack of drug use.

I'm just thankful I got to see him on the EM tour, that was a great show. Natasha Shneider and Alain Johannes (Eleven) also had a lot to do with that album and tour. They wrote, produced, and played on EM and thus had a rather large influence on the sound of the album. Natasha was GREAT at the show I went to, unfortunately she passed away from cancer in July this year. Maybe he could hook back but with Johannes for his next album.

[dragonboy]

Yeah Euphoria Morning is excellent.

I'm very jealous that you saw him on that tour Tenn...were you lucky enough to see Soundgarden? I saw them in London with the might Tad many moons again, incredible show!

[weeniebeenie]

Soundgarden are one of my favourite bands ever. I saw Chris last year and he sounded awesome. But I wish Kim, Ben and Matt were there to back him up. I really don't like the new stuff.
