3.0 out of 5 stars Better than I thought it might be, March 10, 2009
This review is from: Scream (Audio CD)
When I first heard Cornell would work with Timbaland, I braced for the worst, especially after hearing the awful work he did with Duran Duran last year. Usually, I find Timbaland's work too sterile (the beats, while danceable, too perfect to really groove). And that's somewhat the case here. I really like a lot of the old style synth sounds that are used, and the textures and deep bass are great, but the whole thing sounds a bit artificial. It's saved somewhat by Cornell's voice. Timbaland's usual pop or rap pairings mostly can't sing like this, so Cornell can take the songs up a notch. And as with Cornell's last solo album, the vocals are sounding much better than in the Audioslave era. He constructs some pretty memorable melodies. The thing that's missing vs. his previous solo work, however, are all the open guitar tunings and harmonic color provided from them. These songs give up so much to the rhythm of the loops that there isn't much room for the more interesting chord changes that characterize Cornell's best stuff. Some people will reflexively give it 1-star, but it's far better than that. Nevetheless, it's not as interesting as his first two solo albums, and so we hope its a transition on toward something more expansive. I admire his guts to try a project like this, but I might have chosen a different (more musically diverse) producer than is Timbaland. To go in this type of direction, someone like Danger Mouse might have been a hipper choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars a really bad evolution..., March 12, 2009
Everyone likes to go on about Cornell's artistic prowess, yet it's not just song and lyric writing that has always made CC's music superb: His voice could make or break many a song, and Cornell was a master at making his voice an integral part of his music. The songs on Scream are not in themselves horrible; without the Timbaland influence, many of the songs could be revamped into decent rock tunes. However, the entire album emphasizes Timbaland's role (the title should read "Timbaland's Scream, featuring Chris Cornell"), and Chris - Chris's voice - now seems like an afterthought to the music. When the greatest SINGER in rock history allows his voice to play 2nd (3rd, 4th?) fiddle to the music, well, it's MUCH WORSE than disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Black HOle Sunburn...LOOOONG GONE indeed., March 10, 2009
By D. Galante "GoaT" (watchcity, Ma) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Hello, Timbaland? This is the label. We have an artist who would like to work with you. His name is Chris Cornell."

"Who dat?"

"Oh...he was in a band called Soundgarden. He also sang for Audioslave."

"Who dey?"

"Nevermind. Do you have any beats leftover from the Timberlake sessions?"

"Yeah, yeah...how much you gon' pay me?"

"Enough to keep you drowning in bling."

"Word."

Record gets pushed back a few months. Record comes out. Record [...] flops.

Soundgarden reunion 2010.
