Audioslave reveal album title 2006-03-25 by Alex101 | 13 Comments | For Audioslave's third album, due in June, singer Chris Cornell wanted to explore a vocal style he feels closest to but has never touched on before: R&B. "I love rock music, but my favorite singers are not in rock bands," Cornell confesses. "They're Stevie Wonder, Mavis Staples, the Chamber Brothers." So on Audioslave's latest effort, appropriately dubbed Revelations, Cornell decided to follow the soul sound.
He really pushed his boundaries on the "groove-oriented" song "Broken City." "It reminds me of The World Is a Ghetto[-era] War," Cornell says. "My vocal cadence is different, my approach to the vocal is different. And with this band, we have the ability to go into more of a soul/R&B direction and have it be authentic. It's exciting."
But never mind the Chamber Brothers -- Cornell's new role as a family man has had just as great an influence on his songwriting and his life. "As I'm getting older and I have children and my life is definitely settling down more, I'm really about family," he says while getting ready to play a West Hollywood benefit for the Stuart House, a group that helps sexually abused children and their families. "When I'm not in the studio making records with Audioslave, I'm at home with my wife and my kids," he continues. "So there are a lot of songs where I mention them -- where maybe the subject is about something else, but they're in there. My family is my chief concern."
Though still only just over a year old, Cornell's daughter has already made her opinion of Audioslave's music known. "My baby girl Toni listens to [last year]'s Out of Exile religiously, every day, dances to it in the kitchen. And if you take out that CD and put in something else, she'll whine and say no," Cornell says with a laugh. "We finished the new record just now, and the very first time I put it on she was like, 'This is not the record I know.' Everybody's a critic."

Well, at least someone enjoys the last Audioslave album.
| | |
Everytime I turn on the radio, I hear Audioslave. It's either Doesn't Remind Me or that new one. There alright.
This new album should be interesting though.

Rouge Poet - 123.
Out of Exile, everything got better except the vocals (In my opinion, at least).
Their first album was golden, aside from crap guitar solos.

Does anyone else find that album name horribly tired?

[quote=Scruples]Well, at least someone enjoys the last Audioslave album.[/quote]Beat me to it. These guys are hella-bland. Maybe a dramatic change in sound would get me on board. Although R&B (even the old soul stuff) has never done it for me.

Audioslave's coming out with a new record already? 
I love RATM and Soundgarden's ok, but I can't stand Audioslave, except for Like A Stone. I love that song for some reason. But I hate the rest.
Edit: It looks like the name of the article is "Audioslave reveal album tit" from the front page. Just thought I'd pass that along.This Message Edited On 03.26.06

sounds good, im a real audioslave, and actually cannot understand why people hate audioslave, i can with most things, i mean even though tom's solos can become a bit tiresome, the songs themselves are normally excellent.
one thing i hope is that the songs arent as riff based, and cornell plays more guitar, because the songs he plays guitar on as well as tom are normally the better ones of the albums.

i like what ive heard from audioslave i look forward to hearing the new material
| | |
somewhere on vh1.com you can find an article w/ morello talkin about the album

"Does anyone else find that album name horribly tired?" VagueDan
My exact thoughts, Dan.
I think this album is either going to take audioslave to a hole nother level or corrupt them. I am hoping for the HNL.
| | |
To me Toms solos are the best thing in modern music.
| | |
Even tho i love the harsher sound of songs like Set It Off, I am very interested to hear the new sound. I love Toms solos tho too, so i hope they don't get rid of them. With chris's lyrics and tom's guitar riffs, i would be surprised if the new album sounded bad.
| | |
idk i kind of liked out of exile, not a ton, but it was descent. I hope this "R and B voice" doesnt ruin them
