Has anyone considered how much the lyrics affect the music? Perhaps Morello and the boys were writing pissed off sounding music to support De La Rocha's hostility, while they've mellowed out to reflect Cornell's more introspective lyrics?
Either way, I think a lot of the dissapointment probably came as a result of the band releasing "Cochise" as their first single. It is by far the most "RATM" sounding track on the album. It was a misleading single to sell the album. But of course, they wanted to sell the album to RATM fans, so I guess it made sense on a marketing level.
