 (21 Customer Reviews)
The hard-driving supergroup's third album is a seething mix of rock and R&B in the grand old fashion of Led Zeppelin, and although singer Chris Cornell is no Robert Plant, the band's unified musical vision belies the usual music biz scenario of warring oversized superstar egos. The album-opening title track is a superbly confident hunk of riff-rock, and Tom Morello's wah-wah guitar pyrotechnics on "Sound of a Gun" likewise conjure heavy rock's early-1970s golden years.
There's also genuine political rage here, with the pounding beat and insistent chorus of "The Original Fire" heralding a call to arms (while Morello's solo is an eccentric gem), and songs like the quietly seething "Wide Awake" focusing the band's anger at institutionalized inaction in New Orleans after the devastation of hurricane Katrina. Though "Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye" and "Moth," the album's two downtempo tracks, are subtle, they're no less intense, thanks to Cornell's committed vocal delivery. Unsurprisingly, though, the band sounds most at home when it's rocking, whether on the snaky funk of "Broken City" or the full-frontal assault of "One and the Same."

Rolling Stone (p.105) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The funk that always came naturally to Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk in Rage also comes alive here in their heavy emphatic swagger."
Entertainment Weekly (p.159) - "Returning to the guitar-as-turntable style he patented with Rage, Morello pulls the band out if its generic aggro-rock rut." -- Grade: B Audioslave Revelations Songs Revelations Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Pretty Good...
this is a pretty good cd, especially for Tom Morello fans. I bought it and got exactly what I expected. I like it, not as much as RATM or The Nightwatchman but... good job to the band. Rock On!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Satisfactory effort
This is a side that I've noticed before since Chris Cornell was in his ol' Soundgarden days between hard rockin classic albums like Superunknown to Down on the Upside era. That was, oh say, between the years of 1994 and 1996. This is purely run of the mill kind of rock n roll. Original Fire stands out but then so does Somedays. The fire in the ignition has burnt out. Best album is surely their debut. This album doesn't 'kick it' up there and I wonder why.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  could've been better
I only like a few songs on this cd, its not as good as the first two. I think Chris Cornell's vocals aren't as strong as they used to be, There really is a big difference when you hear the Soundgarden and Temple Of The Dog stuff, he doesn't have pitch anymore, that's not to say that he's not a great singer, he's still one of my all-time favorite singers, but his vocals could've have been much better. I give this cd 3 stars.

In the five years since their last full studio album, a covers EP (2004's FEEDBACK) and two live releases (2003's RUSH IN RIO and 2005's R30) hardly sated the throngs of Rush fans hungry for new music. SNAKES & ARROWS is all they could have possibly hoped for and dreamed about. The brash, contemporary vibe of 2002's VAPOR TRAILS has been shed as the trio returns ...

Revelations songs
$11.69
When Say Hi to Your Mom released his brilliantly titled third disc, Ferocious Mopes, the sensitive-indie-guy-recording-from-his-bedroom thing had been done to death. So had well-intentioned tinkerings with the Omaha sound of Conor Oberst. Nevertheless, what Say Hi offers here is just froot loops enough to skirt cliché charges. The ten song titles say it all -- after puzzling over "Poor Pete Is a Bit Self Conscious," "As Smart as Geek Is Chic Right Now," and "I Think I'll Be a Good Ghost," it's easy to wonder whether Say Hi might be using music to pay the bills until he finds a way to make money off his real gift for naming things. Indulging that thought, though, puts a listener at risk of being overly dismissive of the music, which is overall ...
