Audioslave: Revelations.
One of the first things I did when I got connected yesterday was to download Audioslave‘s recently released 3rd album Revelations. A revelation it is not. It’s also not an album to win over any non-Audioslave fans, who will probably find it a touch boring or think that all the songs sound the same, sort of what I think of Coldplay.
Audioslave fans shouldn’t be too disappointed though. While it isn’t a revelation it is a decent album with some good tunes. Unfortunately though it’s more of the ‘same old’ from the Axis of Justice group. Fans like myself are waiting for them to kick it up a gear but it just doesn’t happen with Revelations. The first few songs in particular are ‘been there done that’ tunes, leftovers from their earlier albums perhaps. It does lift a notch at Original Fire, the first single from the album, but by Shape Of Things To Come they have reverted to old Audioslave so much so that in the opening bars of Shape… you think you’re actually listening to Soundgarden!
While all this might sound a touch negative I have to say despite not being anything new it is still a good album. If you don’t mind it being in the same vein as Audioslave or Out Of Exile then give it a listen.

What does this mean?
Antonio, just a silly joke. It’s from a kids program called “Sesame Street”, the program always ended something like that.
