Audioslave

What do you all think of this band? I just got the second album at a used music and books store, and I think it's pretty good.

Pretty solid group. I don't have the latest album, but I dig the first two. Nothing groundbreaking, but fairly unique modern rock.

Catchy and enjoyable rock band. Nothing spectacular, but more than enough to keep my interest.

I'm listening to a cdr my brother gave me of their 1st release today in work. I like it, but never bothered with the rest of their releases. How many albums did they put out? 3? How do their other ones compare to their debut?

I thought they got better with each release, the latest album was my favorite as they were starting to sound like an actual "band" instead of just R.A.T.M. with Chris Cornell singing.

...then they broke up.

I only have the first one, and I love that album, it is too bad that Chris Cornell and Rage guys could not keep it together longer, but I was surprised it managed to last three albums so I can't really complain.
Great lyrics especially love the lyrics to " Show me How to Live"

You totally read my mind about posting on Audioslave. I'm not big on modern rock but I really like these guys. Revelations is my fave, musically it's the strongest and Morello's effects aren't overdone. Tim Commerford plays his ass off too. Cornell could've sang with more conviction though and I wish Rick Rubin would've produced it as I am not a fan of Brendan O'Brien.

Their pretty good for a modern rock group.I have their first two and enjoy them quite a bit.

Not my thing I guess. What I heard didn't do much for me.

Decent, but I prefer Soundgarden by miles

I think I may like Audioslave a little bit more than you, Deathcult but I agree Soundgarden is better by miles.

Probably, I traded their first album away pretty soon after I bought it. They dont lack talent per say, but its not something I'm creaming my jeans over.

Cochise is my favorite song.

I thought they were halfassed until I heard the song "Doesn't Remind Me", which I could hear twenty times a day for ten decades without getting bored.

Boring.

I like "Rock Star" because Ted Nugent and Gene Simmons appear in the video.

Or hey, I was thinking about Nickelback...

I have some songs from each of their three albums, but I have to admit that I've never been into "Rage Against the Machine", so I've never been a huge fan of Tom Morello. I was always more of a fan of Kim Thayil and Soundgarden. I've always liked Chris Cornell's voice. I think he could front just about any band out there.

They should reunite with John Corabi on vox.
