cornell's voice is strained and weak.
the rhythm section has none of the spark and groove they used to. sure brad was never a fantastic drummer, but he was always at least more creative than these songs. and tim, what happened to his funk? root note. root note. root note.
and let's not even start on tom. what used to be simple, melodic, but percussive playing has turned into boring, predictable and re-used. I used to drool, wondering what his nextwacky solo would sould like, but every audioslave song(with the exception of like a stone) was something heard before. He can't write catchy riffs anymore.
i heard a few demos and leaked stuff when they were "civilian", and it was quite a bit better than anything they've released. much better name too.
