iTunes Review
The first Audioslave album exceeded all expectations because, well, it was exactly what people expected: Rage plus Cornell, a simple (yet powerhouse) formula. Revelations is the sound of Audioslave coming into its own, fleshing out the music with brawny, funky rhythms and quieter melodic hooks. Cuts like “One and the Same” and “Jewel of the Summertime,” with slashing riffs and high-octane vocals, are sure to please fans of the heavier “old” Audioslave. Yet, Revelations also finds them branching out to great effect: "Original Fire,” for example, feels like a soul rave-up beefed up with chunky guitar licks and pummeling rhythms. “Broken City” is also heavy on the funk, going so far as to add call-and-response vocals. Still, their strong suit remains a mastery of ebb and flow; many of the most memorable tracks (“Shape of Things to Come,” “Sound of a Gun,” and “Moth,” to name a few) deftly balance roaring rock bombast with mellow, introspective passages. Not every idea works, and many fans may forever miss the full-speed-ahead approach of the debut, but there’s certainly plenty to enjoy here.
Customer Reviews
Song by Song Ratings & Brief Reviews
Revelations - 7.9 (out of 10) Great hard-hitting intro song. Lacks depth. One and the Same - 8.2 (out of 10) Some very unique Tom Morello guitar drives this track (including a wicked solo). Sound of a Gun - 8.0 (out of 10) Calm verses break out into a great, powerful chorus. Until We Fall - 8.4 (out of 10) Probably the most mellow song on this album. Great vocals on this one from Chris Cornell. Original Fire - 8.9 (out of 10) Very unique audio track. A single that is not really representative of the album as a whole, but a great track nonetheless. Has a classic rock feel to it. Broken City - 7.8 (out of 10) Has a blues undertone. Some cool sounds, but can get old with repeated listenings. Somedays - 8.3 (out of 10) Sounds like U2 on a week on energy drinks. Shape of Things to Come - 8.7 (out of 10) Very 'classic' Audioslave. Jewel of the Summertime - 8.3 (out of 10) Sounds like it has some Hendrix influence. Wide Awake - 9.4 (out of 10) Great song. Builds to a powerful chorus. One of the best Audioslave songs to date. Nothing Left to Sat But Goodbye - 9.2 (out of 10) I love the chorus. Simple, but very good song. Moth - 9.8 (out of 10) Simply one of the best songs I've ever heard. It gives me chills everytime I hear it. This may be my favorite Audioslave song, and I loved the first album.
What happened to 9.99?
Fine album, wrong price. All I'm getting is zeros and ones with a little value added product with no case, no slick preprinted booklet and no CD for 10.99??!! Are you kidding? Better scale back the price or it's back to P2P for many customers. Be careful iTunes, you're not the only game in town.
The Original Fire has Died and Gone but the Riot Inside Moves On
Audioslave was always a band that I was hesitant about. I was a huge fan of Rage Against the Machine fan and the only rap/metal band worth listening to with Zach de la Rocha’s great delivery and Tom Morello’s eccentric guitar as a backdrop. But things reportedly fell apart when bassist Tim Commerford bum rushed the stage at the 2001 Video Music Awards after the band lost out the best rock video to Limp Bizkit embarrassing de la Rocha to the point that he quit the band to work on a yet to be released solo album. The other three members, including drummer Brad Wilk did not rest on the laurels, instead recruited Chris Cornell of Soundgarden to form an entirely new band that luckily didn’t involve Cornell rapping. Instead it sounded exactly what people expected, Soundgarden’s melodies mixed with Rage’s raucous guitars. But I was still hesitant as I still wanted more Rage. Much of the same can be heard on Audioslave's third album Revelations, that you heard on the first two. But as the band progresses, the more it sounds like dark seventies rock with Morello’s signature guitar licks only coming out during his solos as Cornell channels his inner Robert Plant. This is prevalent right off the bat with the opening title track. Until We Fail plays very similar to I Am the Highway off their self titled debuted but loses its momentum unlike the previous song. Original Fire is an upbeat romp that can be the first song in either band member’s history that calls for you to hand-clap thought the song and has a soul music through a rock filter to it. Broken City is a bluesy song highlighted where Cummerford shines with the bass groove. When the band it at full throttle on Shape of Things to Come, it’s one of the greatest rock sounds in recent times. The album closes with Moth, a haunting song that is the closest the band has gotten to sounding like Soundgarden. Each of the songs on the album could become a rock radio staple like previous songs but as David Fricke of Rolling Stone put it best calling the band, “a supergroup that keeps making good records that fall shy of great” and Revelations is no exception. And Revelations is the most average of their outings. But then again I’m still holding out for a Rage Against the Machine reunion.
