Classic Debut Album On Double LP!
Features Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) & 3 Rage Against The Machine Bandmates!
Audioslave is a rare case of remnants from two great bands coming together and creating an even greater band. Consisting of three quarters of Rage Against The Machine plus former Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, Audioslave came onto the music scene with a mix of '70s Zeppelin & Sabbath warped into the year 2000 and beyond. Having Chris Cornell as their lead singer was producer Rick Rubin's idea and the band penned no less than 21 songs in a period of 19 days, jamming and rehearsing.
The group's debut single "Cochise" was a worldwide smash and the 2nd single "Like A Stone" even topped that (certified Gold by the RIAA)! The album was certified Gold in the USA within a month after its release. Two Audioslave albums followed, before the members parted ways to join their former bands.
"Of the two camps, Chris Cornell exerts the strongest influence, pushing the Rage Against the Machine boys toward catchier hooks and introspective material... The group winds up with songs that play to the strengths of both camps, like the storming lead single "Cochise." For Cornell fans, it's a relief to hear him unleash like this, given the reserve of his brooding solo debut, but this is hardly a one-man show. The Rage band, led by the intricate stylings of guitarist Tom Morello, gets their chance to shine, including on numbers that are subtler and shadier than the average Rage tune." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
