[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I saw him on Leno and Kimmel, think he did a good job.

Here's how I'd rank his work, everything"

1. Soundgarden- Superunknown
2. Soundgarden- BadmotorFinger
3. Soundgarden- Down on the Upside
4. Soundgarden- Screaming Life/Fopp
5. Soundgarden- Louder than Love
6. Audioslave- Out of Exile
7. Soundgarden- Ultramega OK
8. Temple of the Dog
9. Audioslave- s/t
10. Solo- EM
11. Audioslave- Rev.

And I'm not ranking the new CD as I haven't heard it.

You haven't included Temple Of The Dog... which is amazing. Also, you have overlooked SG's Ultramega OK.  And it's Louder than Love.

And I disagree with rating early Soundgarden so highly. My list would have Superunknown as #1, otherwise completely different than yours 

[GeraldFord]

Ok, I fixed it.

Not a huge TOTD fan. I like it, just don't think it's the amazing album others think it is.

[Wheres Izzy]

Without a doubt my favorite singer ever not named Axl. And it's still pretty close. Obviously he's lost a TON of range in his voice but in his prime I'm not quite sure anyone on the planet could do the things he could with his voice. I was a huge soundgarden fan as a kid, always liked Louder than Love but thought they really became amazing with Badmotorfinger. They have so many non-singles songs that when friends of mine hear them in my car they shit because the stuff is so good. "Slaves and Bulldozers" "Let Me Drown" "Limo Wreck" "Somewhere" "Tighter and Tighter" "Drawing Flies" "Rhinosaur". I got euphoria morning when it came out and I was about 14-15 so it took me a while to get into it but now I love it. I remember when Audioslave first came out I was disappointed because his voice sounded so noticably different. He still sounded great but just couldn't reach back like he used to. Lot of songs I liked by them, but they never came close to touching Soundgarden. I actually thought that the last album was their best effort tho.
And I agree with RichardNixon TOTD was OK, but not as great as some seem to think. Some cool shit like "Say Hello 2 Heaven" "All Night Thing" and "Call Me A Dog" but overall doesn't do anything for me.

[GeraldFord]

For once RS is right--his new cd sucks.

[ashlar]

Is anyone else addicted to this album like I am? It's a departure for fans of Cornell's more straight ahead rock songs but it's still got that sound that makes Cornell amazing. It came out June 6th so I suggest everyone pick it up, fantastic album!

[Malcolm]

So what does everyone think about Chris's new album?....Im not a huge fan of it other than his cover of Billie Jean...I really like that

Chris Cornell Sells Out

http://www.reveillemag.com/news/news/chris-cornell-sells-out

doesnt surprise me.

funny how he was part of a movement which was against what bands i like apparently did.

[Butch Français]

IMO, he has since Soundgarden, turned into a rather boring singer/musician.

[Chief]

This video is pretty cool though:

Wasn't he supposed to have a solo album soon? Or did it come & go without me noticing?

[Wheres Izzy]

He released Carry On last year if that's what you're talking about. Probably the worst album he's ever made in my opinion, and I'm a fan of all his previous work. I also just read that Timberland is producing another album he is currently recording. He being Timberland of Justin Timberlake fame. What the fuck happened to The Chris Cornell of 20 years ago? That scream that could peel paint off walls and who actually gave a shit about making good music.

Ya his new album with Timberland called Scream is suppose to be out in March...the first single "Part of Me" is quite good, and will be very mainstream

[DeN]

I'm listening to the new LP right now and yes that's surprising, but I enjoy it for the moment.
the last LP was so boooring and disapointing, this new album is like fresh air.

I've read here and there some bad reviews because it's different, less rock n'roll, more r'n'b, etc...
the fact is it's much better than his last solo record and a smart move.

[Burton]

Just listened the new Chris Cornell album and it sucks so bad. Huge fan of everything Cornell did before Carry On.

How the mighty have fallen...
