Title: Unlistenable
Product review: I was excited when I heard this was coming out. I am a huge RATM fan and despite the fact that Chris Cornell dragged them down I enjoyed Audioslave as well. But this is unlistenable. The vocals are terrible. The quality is on par with some struggling musician who records himself singing in his bedroom or something. I actually laughed out loud during "Flesh Shapes the Day". The music is boring at best. All that happens is the strumming of minor chords and the same old blues progressions. There is absolutely nothing new or innovative about it. The only saving grace to the whole thing is that the lyrics have a meaning behind them ... but this is nowhere near enough to save the album. If someone played this for me and I didn't know it was Tom Morello I would absolutely trash it. It sounds like any random musician from someone's hometown who just recorded something on his 4-track. It is absolutely unlistenable.
