Scream - Chris Cornell

Utter Garbage!!!!

Probably my favourite album this year, pushed close by Prodigy - Invaders Must Die.

Cornell probably wanted to prove that he could sound like mainstream pop hit makers. Well, he failed! Timbaland being the producer, the album sounds like...Timbaland. The rock vocals of Cornell and the loops and samples from Timbaland just don't go together. It is funny for the first 3 minutes -- a rock legend, lead singer of Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog, trying to be Justin Timberlake or Akon --, then it is just boring.
His poorest work, for sure. Can't be compared to his previous material, either the bands or his other solo albums.
If you like Cornell's past, don't listen to this. Want to listen to him solo? Try Euhoria Morning (1999). Because this one is just crap!
