After spending a lot of time listening to audioslave I thought I would clarify my point a little bit.
I had 9 hour round trip this weekend so when I was making CDs to listen to I decided to throw an audioslave one in their. I figured I owed them an extended listen. After listening to the CD a few times and a some of the songs several times, I have come to this conclusion:
If I think of them as what's left of Rage I hate them. If they are trying to emulate Rage then they are awful.
However, the less I think of them as Rage the more I appreciate it. If I think of them as a totally separate band with no ties to Rage then I actually enjoyed the album and compared to a lot of crap out there it is somewhat original. It is different music though.
So I guess I'm more in line with what flyman thinks now. To those people who still hate them, I'm not saying you'll like them but give it a shot with no thoughts of the old Rage in your head and see what you think.
