    The Greatness of Chris Cornell

    By Aaron R  May 5, 2003

    Chris Cornell is a musical and lyrical genius above many in the music industry. From his work in Soundgarden then with his solo album, now he is combining his talents with the former Rage Against the Machine band members to form Audioslave. This is o...ne of the greatest acts out. Is there no limit to Cornells abilities? Read more Less

    Once you dig through the CD's pop-like exterior, you will find something much deeper. I had to listen to it a few times to get used to Chris Cornell's new sound, but once i did, i loved it. The songs are haunting and beautiful, and the CD is addicti...ng!! The entire album has a sad tinge to it,and steel rain (amoung others) will bring tears to your eyes. i do regret that Chris didn't put more of his trademark screams and wails into it, and that it was lacking hard-rock sound in general. i wouldn't recommend it to someone who only has an ear for rock and grunge, because this CD definetly doesn't fit into that catergory. But it is a wonderful, amazing and touching album that you should go out and buy!! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Euphoria Morning

  • All Music Guide

    With Down on the Upside, it was clear that Soundgarden, while still strong, was no longer the ideal vehicle for its frontman Chris Cornell. He sounded much more comfortable on Superunknown, the first Soundgarden album that broke free from the Sab-Zep restraints, allowing him to indulge in psychedelia. That, along with his stellar contributions to the Singles soundtrack, suggested that Cornell had aspirations of being a singer/songwriter, so it's not a surprise at all that he decided to tie those two loose ends together to provide the foundation for his solo debut album, Euphoria Morning. Those expecting a slab of metal from Euphoria Morning will be disappointed, but it's hard to feel sorry for them, since they were evidently not really listening to the last few Soundgarden records. There's no question that it's a rock album, but it's a shaded, textured rock album, lacking the grinding sludge and furious rock that were his previous band's stock in trade, yet it's undeniably of a piece w...ith Superunknown. Thankfully, Euphoria Morning doesn't have the shiny, arena-rock gloss that Michael Beinhorn gave Soundgarden's masterpiece. True, it is a clean, big production, but it's organic, which means that it doesn't sound unnatural when Cornell dives into blues ("When I'm Down") or when he suggests Radiohead with the beginning of "Preaching the End of the World." That kind of flexibility is what was missing from Down on the Upside, and it keeps the album fascinating, since it's unclear what's coming next, even if it all sounds of a piece. It's a mature album without being overly somber. It could be argued that it sounds a little too mature and possibly a little self-conscious, but that just emphasizes the real craft behind Euphoria Morning. Cornell knew exactly where he wanted to go as a solo artist, and he's achieved it. If it doesn't satisfy some dyed-in-the-wool Soundgarden fans, that's too bad, since it will undoubtedly win the affections of open-minded listeners that haven't before considered him a serious songwriter or musician. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less
