Just Alright, December 18, 2006
This review is from: Be Yourself (Audio CD)
This is the kind of song that you can listen to, but will not stay with you for very long. The lyrics are rather trite, and the instrumentation is just average, by the standards of Tom Morello and company. Not Audioslave's best work.
And to these people complaining about Audioslave being "mainstream:" get over yourselves you pretentious fools! Have we forgotten that Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine were very poplular and made regular appearances on MTV in their day? Being popular does not make a band bad, and being unknown does not make a band good.

Many Sides to Music, May 3, 2006
This review is from: Be Yourself (Audio CD)
It's been difficult, to say the least, to merge the two different sounds and styles together, but it also has been interesting and at time, brilliant. I didn't feel that this song, or anything on Out of Exile matched Like a Stone or I am the Highway but OTOH it's also a completely different album. Fans of RATM have to accept that these guys have grown-up and that after his little climb on the MTV Music Awards Zak proved that his mind was jelly and these guys had to move on.
Be yourself is not a pop-song and does not relate only to young teen agers, if that's what your getting then you are not listening to the verses, or you are too ignorant to understand them.
I have to admit, I was disapointed with Out of Exile and Be Yourself took some time to grow on me, I personally feel Curse and Yesterday to Tomorrow are stronger tracks, still it's better than 99% of the albums released in any given year.

Awesome Single, August 31, 2005
This review is from: Be Yourself (Audio CD)
Well, what can I say? Audioslave delivered another powerful great rock album. And this song, "Be Yourself," is just one of the many other awesome songs on there latest album Out Of Exile. This song really does define Audioslaves sound and is the best represenation of them. Defintley recommend to all rock fans, especially to former soundgarden and rage against the machine fans.
