Revelations: Audioslave Best Buy Exclusive

Very good CD to collect

I had the first two cd's. Bought this one due to the fact that we will never (unfortunately) hear this bad ass band again. I played this for the first time in my truck with factory Bose speakers. This is, in my opinion, the best Audioslave cd overall. From the first song Revelations, if you don't tap your foot on the main riff you need to get out more. Tom Morello's wild guitar and Tim Commerford's driving bass on One and the Same. Listen to Broken City. Come On. As a bassist listening to Commerford bass runs on Wide Awake put a huge smile on my face. to For those reading this review go or click and get this CD. I promise you money well spent

Great quality album by one of the best bands ever. RIP Chris

I was a little disappointed to see the big markings on the case, but it was fine since the cd itself plays well Great album from a great band

Lo he escuchado solo una vez desde que me llegó pero lo que escuché me gustó. Muy bueno.

I am a fan of Chris Cornell's. I have all of Soundgarden's albums and am going to buy his solo albums too. Like Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell is a brilliant singer and songwriter and his teaming up with the former members of Rage Against the Machine was an excellent move since all three of the albums put out by Audioslave are top-notch rock and roll. Cornell's voice is clear and polished and the precussion members (especially Tom Morello) do very well together and I was sorely disappointed to find out about Audioslave's demise. Cornell's music is a work of art and all of Audioslave's CDs would do his former band, Soundgarden, proud. Hopefully Audioslave will do a reunion tour. Meantime, this and Audioslave's other 2 CDs belong in everyone's CD collection.

The first two albums...had their moments. Still, when I go back and listen to the first one, it is harsh. There was CC on the one hand, and I love his voice, and RATM on the other, pressed together like a sandwich in which you had to like the two parts to like the whole, but this one is smooth. Revelations is powerful, and with four exceptional songs, I consider it a classic. Nothing sounds forced on this album. The first two tracks are amazing, and then again Somedays and Shape of Things both pick up the best of RATM's jams and CC's voice. Mature, wonderful, classic.

This is an incredible third offering from a legendary band. I feel that all three are five star efforts with an edge given to the first one which stands neck and neck with the best Soundgarden ever recorded. I like the soul influence on this one while still crushingly heavy. I am not sure I really understand how you could like the first or second one and not like this? This starts off strong as hell and doesn't let up. HIGHLY recommended! My only disappointment is that it cannot be easily purchased on vinyl. Hopefully a reissued vinyl will be released soon.

Llegó en tiempo y forma

Audioslave might reasonably have been forgiven for imagining a conspiracy amongst the world's press to put an end to them. Dogged by breakup rumours since their inception and bedevilled by comparisons to their members' old bands, they finally splintered back into their component parts early in 2007. Before that, though, they cheerfully soldiered through a slew of live dates around the world which established them in the minds of fans, if not of journalists, as a coherent musical force. They also produced a thoughtful and exploratory sophomore album in 2005's Out of Exile. Although often exciting and surprising it felt transitional, as thought the band were hunting down a new aesthetic which would finally lay the ghosts of Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine. It's a shame that this album turned out to be the band's swan-song - because Revelations establishes Audioslave's coherence through a brutally succinct reinterpretation of sounds that probably shaped the band's own musical vocabulary. Lead-off single "Original Fire" recalls rock's glory days over a hard, funky Motown stomp, but strip away the sonic shell and what's left inside sounds like a Springsteen "Nebraska"-era mood-piece. The other eleven tracks run the gamut of emotional fuel from anger ("Revelations") to agony ("Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye"), but the ferocious musical assault seldom lets up. Tracks such as "Somedays" and "Jewel Of The Summertime" are among the heaviest tracks the band has recorded, although this is very far from mindless riffing. The language Audioslave speak here is elastically blues-based, recalling classic 70s rock bands like Free and Led Zeppelin - although the Commerford/Wilk rhythm section can get unexpectedly funky and Tom Morello's trademark atonality often veers towards violence. There's an old-school soul influence, too, especially in Chris Cornell's vocal for the bitter "One And The Same". With Atlanta-based producer Brendan O'Brien at the helm in place of Rick Rubin, Revelations's sound is more cohesive, with layered vocals and tightly-controlled arrangements contributing to the music's determined power and impact. Lyrically the album is more sinister than its predecessor, embracing both the personal and the political in a dystopian view of dark days ahead. Although "Wide Awake" is a frank indictment of US government inaction post-Katrina, songs such as "Broken City" and "Sound Of A Gun" touch upon the kind of fears we all have for the future in an increasingly brutal culture. It's not all gloom, though; in "Moth", ex-addict Cornell paints a realistic picture of recovery and "Until We Fall" cautiously intimates that some scars can heal.

Fast delivery low price arrived in excellent condition

Non recensisco il disco, inteso come prodotto multimediale, perché superfluo. Non credo sia questa la sede. Quanto al media, Amazon è diventata la mia fonte di riferimento per "variant carine" (o edizioni CD estere) a buon prezzo. Tutte le altre sedi mi fanno svenare.

Das 3. Album der Band ist endlich das, was wir Fans der beiden ehem. Bands uns erhofft haben, als sich die Rythmusfraktion von RATM und der Shooter von Soundgarden zusammengetan haben. Das erste Album war schon gut, aber bei Out of Exile wirkte die Soupergroup zu abgeklärt, routiniert und lustlos. Das war eben RATM mit dem Sänger von Soundgarden und sie machten gemeinsam Musik. Endlich fließt wieder Schweiß und ne Menge Herzblut. Und das Beste ist, das sie nicht mehr wie eine Band aus 2 Lagern klingen, sondern wie eine Einheit. Was uns Audioslave hier servieren, ist Hardrock vom Allerfeinsten mit vielen Einflüssen und Elementen. Gegroovt haben sie schon immer, jetzt sind die Songs aber ausgefeilter und mehr tanzbarer. Das Gitarrenspiel von Tom Morello halte ich sowie schon ewig für das Beste was es im Rocksektor gibt und die Stimme von Herrn Cornell die kann Wände einreissen. Sicherlich sind Audioslave nicht revolutionär, wie das Debut von RATM oder das fantastische Superunknown von Soundgarden. Aber beweisen brauchen sie in ihrem Alter auch keinen mehr was. Sie können spielen und sprühen auf diesem Album nur so vor Spielfreude. Bei Wide Awake hat sich Herr Cornell sogar zu einem politischen Song hinreissen lassen und prangert die US Regierung an für ihr Verhalten bei der Hurrikan-Katastrophe in New Orleans, Gänsehaut pur. Tolles Album haben die Jungs da abgeliefert, grosse Melodien, roh, groovig und rockig. Beide Daumen hoch!
