A Successful Sound Returns Unblemished
Some people thing that Audioslave's second album was geared more towards the radio, perhaps a bit more pop-ish or more toned down from it's previous release. I say it's the same exact stuff, with just different songs. The band really didn't change their style, their sound, their presentation - it's just new songs on a new CD. If you enjoyed their first album, then you will have no problem enjoying this one too. They have the same musical presentation and the same great vocals. One thing that's great about Audioslave is that their vocals aren't the same regurgitated crap you hear other bands on the radio singing about. Also, their sound tends to fluctuate between various genres. At times, Audislave can have a jazzy sound, perhaps a heavy sound, a pop sound or even a funk kinda sound. They havew a great style of music and that is evident here. Again, the only thing I can say bad about this, is that some people might be turned off by the length of some songs. Some songs can push four or more minutes and I know that many people cannot seem to comprehend why a song would last that long, but they do. So if you happen to be someone who can't seem to hang onto a song for more than a couple of minutes, Audioslave might not be the band for you.Read full review
