Chris Cornell - Scream

Quote:

Billboard reported that Scream shows Cornell moving "in a much more R&B-oriented direction, with busy drum machine beats, buffed-up chorus vocals and string samples filling the nooks and crannies", comparing it to Gnarls Barkley and less that of "the guitar-driven music of Cornell's past with Soundgarden and Audioslave". Despite the controversy caused by teaming up with Timbaland, Cornell insisted that he still played an integral part of the album's creation and didn't do what "[Timbaland] told me to do", further noting that they "didn't really have that relationship" and "it wasn't that type of a process. It was more, he would bring in a beat, an idea, I would write to it and sing it, and we would move on kind of to the next thing."

Describing the album as a whole, Cornell compared it to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon and Queen's A Night at the Opera, citing the psychedelic elements that Timbaland brought into the production.

I'm really feeling this album..

ps.. if you got surround sound and a receiver with pro logic II just sit back and crank it. Not many albums give such a feel of "being in the center" of the sound.

A sign of the times when he buys an crappy Epiphone guitar to smash instead of a real Gibson.

I've had my doubts about this ever since he announced this new direction but Chris Cornell is awesome and will blindly support anything he does even if his voice isn't as good as it used to be.

Different but I've been listening to the album for the last hour and I'm starting to like it. I also downloaded the LMFAO remix of "part of me" which is quite good if you like house/electro.

I havent gone a week without listening to this cd. I just keep liking it more and more.
