Product Description
From Amazon.com
Change has been a constant in Chris Cornell's life since Soundgarden split in 1997. Sober and over 40 now, he lives in France with his wife and daughter. His first solo album (1999's Euphoria Morning) was lauded in the press, but disregarded by the public. And his supergroup Audioslave eventually fizzled after a trio of albums. But on Cornell's long-awaited sophomore solo effort, it's obvious something hasn't been altered: the voice, a distinguished instrument still pure and resonant--and authoritative enough to take on Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and turn it from throbbing dancefloor anthem to portentous ballad. The unforeseen cover is sequenced midway through 14 tracks that have Cornell softening the edges of his music without losing the power of the messenger. No less than a half-dozen songs have hit potential, including "Arms Around Your Love," with its soaring chorus, the R&B-flecked "She'll Never Be Your Man," and "No Such Thing," where restrained verses give way to crunchy-riffed choruses. He uses the bluesy "Safe and Sound" to call for peace, asking "Why can't we pull it together?" Ten years after the breakup of his pioneering band, Chris Cornell has done just that, and it's evident that the change has done him good. --Scott Holter
Album Description
UK pressing of the 2007 sophomore solo album from the former vocalist with Soundgarden and Audioslave features two bonus tracks: 'Road We Choose' and 'Today'. The album offers the bluesy and soulful "Safe and Sound," Psychedelic "Scar On The Sky," Country-flavored "Finally Forever"... paeans to persistence in "Disappearing Act" and a slow-grind cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" that gives the familiar song a completely new feeling. More personal selections include "Ghost," "Arms Around Your Love" and "She'll Never Be Your Man" and Alt-Rock experimentations ("Killing Birds" the anthemic "Silence the Voices"). Fans of Soundgarden and Audioslave will appreciate the harder edge of "No Such Thing" and "Poison Eye" and the redemptive "Your Soul Today." 16 tracks total including the singles 'You Know My Name' (from Casino Royale) and 'Arms Around Your Love'. Universal. 2007.

A little corny,
By
This review is from: Carry On (Audio CD)
Just started listening to Chris and have to say I think this album is a little corny, it's OK but not a lot more than that. I think the earlier Euphoria Morning is a lot better.But if you really want to hear this guy sing listen to him "Unplugged in Sweden" his singing and playing on that performance are simply unbelievable!!

pretty bad,

This review is from: Carry On (Audio CD)
i bought this thinking it might gather styles from Euphoria, Audioslave and some other stuff....oh man, i haven't enjoyed this at all. I've listened to it a couple of times and cannot say that I enjoy a single tune...i wouldn't recommend this to anyone who expects Euphoria sort of material.

ho-hum,

This review is from: Carry On (Audio CD)
I've always been a fan of Cornell when he's in a group. But both his solo albums (including this one) are bland. There a few flashes of greatness, but you'll find yourself fast forwarding through over half the album and just listening to 4-5 tracks.
