Product Description 2002 debut from this band featuring former Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell backed by 3/4ths of Rage Against The Machine. .com The debut of thundering supergroup Audioslave--featuring members of Rage Against the Machine post-Zack de la Rocha with ex-Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell--is as much curio as fascinating blend of visions. Cornell might be outnumbered, but his unmistakable holler and nihilistic imagery ensure that Audioslave, the album, recalls early Soundgarden. That's especially true since de la Rocha took Rage's signature rap and politicking with him. Still, if this is Soundgarden, it's Soundgarden set to stun. Rage guitarist Tom Morello is more of a mauler than Kim Thayil ever was--witness "Shadow on the Sun," which moves from bruising thud to psychedelic freak-out and back again--while the Rage rhythm section of Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk anchor the bottom end with pure instrumental cement. Intentionally or not, "Gasoline" bears passing resemblance to "Rusty Cage," while the sweeping "I Am the Highway" and slow-burning "The Last Remaining Light" best showcase Cornell's surprisingly New Age-y lyrical bent. Cover art by Storm Thorgerson, who gave Pink Floyd records their distinctive stamp, underscores the set's inherent celebrity. Fans of Rage and Soundgarden can raise clenched fists in unison, for Audioslave is win-win. --Kim Hughes

Great album
This album has 14 tracks, from which 13 are big hits to me. I have never seen an album, be it rock, metal or whatever genre with so many excellent songs packed together. It feels more like a "best of" album - however this was the first release of Audioslave...

EXCELLENT!
This has become my new favorite driving CD, listening to it repeatedly: love it!! There were some shipping issues, as the first supposedly sent never arrived, but enjoyed much once it was received. Highly recommended!

Very decent CD!
I am happy with this CD. I like the majority of the songs, but I would have to say a number of the songs sound VERY "Rage Against the Machine"! I love Rage, but if I wanted to listen to Rage I would! But the other half or so songs are GREAT!

On my fourth or fifth copy now
People keep borrowing this album from me because it's really good and they end up keeping it which makes me replace my lost copy. Every. Single. Time. You'd think I'd learn by now, hahah. Great music needs to be shared and enjoyed with other people, I say!

Imprescindible sí eres un buen melómano
Chris Cornell, músico y compositor inimitable, aquí nos dejó una obra maestra, su estilo rock alternativo se refleja en este gran álbum. Supera el grado de perfección y lo adorna con un acabado de distorsión metal sorprendente. Un ícono de la buena música que dejó unos temas llenos de pasión y profundidad. El sonido es espectacular, vale la pena tenerlo en tu discografía.Solo su voz te atrapa y llena de emociones tus sentidos. 💗
