| | Audioslave Revelations CD Audioslave Discography of CDs
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."
Limited Edition import two CD version of Audioslave's 2006 sense-pummeling album features the full-length CD paired with the four-track CD single of 'Original Fire', which features three live tracks: 'Set It Off', 'Gasoline' and 'Doesn't Remind Me'. Audioslave's worldwide sales total 7 million albums. Revelations, the band's third album, produced by Brendan O'Brien, represents their strongest effort to date. The first single ''Original Fire'' is making a sonic statement at radio and marks a new, more soulful direction for the band. Having toured over the past 18 months, the band very quickly worked up 20 songs on the road and was very eager to capture that live sound. Then enlisted Brendan O'Brien, who helped deliver the most potent effort and some of the best vocals from Chris Cornell ever.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 Revelations Review

Purchase Revelations CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Norah Jones Fall CD (2009)
Revelations album
 $14.44   
With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter. Jones began this shift on 2007's Not Too Late, an album that gently rejected her tendencies for lulling, tasteful crooning, but The Fall is a stronger, more cohesive work, maintaining an elegantly dreamy state that's faithful to the crooner ...

| | Leona Lewis Echo CD (2009)
Revelations album
$11.18  
The goal of Leona Lewis' 2007 debut, Spirit, was to prove that an X Factor winner could be a phenomenon not just in the U.K., but in the rest of the world. The goal of her second album, 2009's Echo, is to prove that success was no fluke, to build upon "Bleeding Love" and turn Lewis into an actual diva. Certainly, Echo in any of its incarnations -- its song listings are tailored for individual markets, with the U.K. getting a cover of Oasis' "Stop Crying Your Heart Out," while the U.S. gets a second song co-written by Justin Timberlake -- uses the chilly, synthesized "Bleeding Love" as its foundation, creating a sheet of sound equal parts Euro-pop and modern American R&B. As opposed to the often-stuffy Spirit, this is proudly ...
| | Lou Reed New Sensations CD (1984) Reissue; Remastered
Revelations CD music
$11.18
Lou Reed never struck anyone as one of the happiest guys in rock & roll, so some fans were taken aback when his 1984 album New Sensations kicked off with "I Love You, Suzanne," a catchy up-tempo rocker that sounded a lot like a pop tune. After reaffirming his status as one of rock's greatest poets with The Blue Mask and Legendary Hearts, what was Reed doing here? Lou was having a great time, and his pleasure was infectious -- New Sensations is a set of straight-ahead rock & roll that ranks with the most purely enjoyable albums of Lou's career. Reed opted not to work with guitarist Robert Quine ...

$45.99 | | Meet Mach 5 CD (2005)
Revelations music CDs
$12.65
100 percent undiluted, kick-you-in-the-ass, loud and fun ROCK... And unlike most supergroups, Mach 5 lives up to expectations. More so than any release of recent memory, Meet Mach 5 makes me feel like I'm 12 years old again. It's got the same energy, attitude, and appeal of the music I loved as a seventh grader, when I'd carry my AC/DC LPs around like they were sacred artifacts. Like all good rock albums, Meet Mach 5 is strong all the way through and surprisingly high on variety. "Get It Up" is a fitting title for the opening track, because it would have given me an instant hard-on if I'd heard it back in junior high.Talk about a supergroup! Mach 5 stars Boston rock vet Mach Bell, who fronted the primo '70s glam/hard rock band Thundertrain and later sang for the Joe Perry Project. He's joined by Dee Stroy, my favorite active lead guitarist and former member of Beantown punk/rock n' roll standouts Sugabomb and The johnnies (THE most underrated band of the 1990s, period!). Backed by a killer rhythm section (Jeff Thomas on bass and Jimmy Birmingham of the Real Kids on drums), Bell and Stroy have joined forces for one reason and one reason only: to rock!!! Lord Rutledge Now Wave Magazine OnlineI feel compelled to credit Producer Richard Marr and the Galaxy Park Studios. I take my ski mask off to them, cause the sound on this CD is nothing short of rabid!This CD has enough hooks, harmony vocals, and three-chord nastiness to make anyone who craves some real rock injections to be ...
