Chris Cornell & Timbaland

Filed under: Chris Cornell, First listens — Lauren @ 3:13 pm

They’re saying it’s the “best music of their careers.”

I was very impressed with what Timbaland did with OneRepublic’s “Apologize” (with the exception of the Retard sounds in the background); I thought he did a great job of bringing out the vocals & intensifying the mood of the song.   When I heard he would be working with Chris Cornell, my favorite male vocalist since Temple of the Dog, I couldn’t even imagine what that would be like.   Chris Cornell of the expensive chords & the soulfully rocking voice.

I listened to 3 tracks, names unknown.   The first song was Rob Bass with Michael Bolton.   The second sounded cool but could have been sung successfully by any vocalist including any unskilled karaoke singer (like a lot of songs in this genre) & was ultimately utterly boring to me.   The third sounded more like Rob Thomas on his hispanic kick & seemed incomplete without a guitar solo by Santana.

Well, now I know.

I’d call this the worst music Chris Cornell has ever put out.
