    Spotty album - bright points are songs Wide Awake, Moth & Shape of Things to come. The rest is ok with maybe 2 songs that are garbage. It gets a six because Cornell has so much more potential than this - not sure whether the 'Rage' guitarists are his best fit. Cornell needs to go with some artists that deliver less base and more fluent belting guitar riffs - like say Thornley.

This could be a 7 or an 8 but b/c Cornell can do so much better I give this a 6 b/c so below expectations. I would have prefered to wait 2 more months to get at least 3 or 4 more good tracks.… Expand

    Revelations by Audioslave does that devils dance of being truly incredible at times while not doing enough to keep your attention as a whole. Revelations, One And The Same and Original Fire are some of the best Alt-Rock songs I've heard in a long-time, but the record as a whole doesn

    I love Rage, liked the last couple of Audioslave albums but this album doesn't do it for me. I like a couple of the tracks, but the rest are nothing exciting. Tom's guitar work lacks the energy of the past. Bring back Zack...

    Most of these twelve tracks are impressive structures with periodic highs... that never resolve into songs. [7 Sep 2006, p.105]

    In place of the band's distinctive head-banging limberness, there's a strange hybrid: a new sort of hard-rock soul, slightly lumbering in spite of its virtuosity. [Sep 2006, p.136]

    Despite some missteps... this comes close to fulfilling the promise of Audioslave's pedigree.
