Editorial Review:
The debut of thundering supergroup Audioslave--featuring members of Rage Against the Machine post-Zack de la Rocha with ex-Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell--is as much curio as fascinating blend of visions. Cornell might be outnumbered, but his unmistakable holler and nihilistic imagery ensure that Audioslave, the album, recalls early Soundgarden. That's especially true since de la Rocha took Rage's signature rap and politicking with him. Still, if this is Soundgarden, it's Soundgarden set to stun. Rage guitarist Tom Morello is more of a mauler than Kim Thayil ever was--witness "Shadow on the Sun," which moves from bruising thud to psychedelic freak-out and back again--while the Rage rhythm section of Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk anchor the bottom end with pure instrumental cement. Intentionally or not, "Gasoline" bears passing resemblance to "Rusty Cage," while the sweeping "I Am the Highway" and slow-burning "The Last Remaining Light" best showcase Cornell's surprisingly New Age-y lyrical bent. Cover art by Storm Thorgerson, who gave Pink Floyd records their distinctive stamp, underscores the set's inherent celebrity. Fans of Rage and Soundgarden can raise clenched fists in unison, for Audioslave is win-win. --Kim Hughes
Audioslave Reviews:
Awesome 
2009-08-12 - Return to form for Cornell, amazing vocalsand actually makes the Rage band sound great becasue they are playing awesome songs.
my favorite group 2009 07-12
2009-07-12 - I consider all reviews to be TIME SENSITIVE. 25 years ago, I was dancing around to "Cheerio girl" (Material Girl) by Madonna...
-------------------2009 07-12----------------------------------
Chris Cornell's singing slays me in each song on this album, no exceptions.
Tom Morrello supports Cornell with melodical wizardry on the guitar, and at times, explodes into the spotlight, and I forget for a minute who is Cornell...
Tim Commerford artfully amplifies Cornell and Morello, though I admit, I am no technical expert on the bass guitar -- my ears-mind-body simply claim seamless perfection.
Brad Wilk creates direction, tugging me into one tempo, as a hypnotist, then blindsides with fireworks that inspire an insane amount of adrenaline.
Holy Jesus, I am an atheist, and I'm on Fire!
Thank you AudioSlave...though I cannot thank you enough.
Just buy this and hear for yourself
2009-01-27 - This is Audioslave's first and best effort, hands down. Just buy this album and you'll not regret it, especially if you like 90s-era rock with a grunge flavor to it.
Chris Cornell has one heck of a set of pipes and Tom Morello, even though I would not say he's the most proficient guitarist, has one of tastiest and spot-on guitar licks, trademarked on all of the tracks. Instead of spending your money on two lattes or beers, just buy this CD and get your own musical high!
As good as it gets 
2008-10-19 - The worst thing that can be said about this album is that some tracks don't sore to the incredible heights of some of the others on the album. However, those tracks are still as good as anything else out there really. Don't feel scared to pick up this album.
Amazing debut album
2008-09-10 - One of my favorite albums. I've listened to this album nonstop for days and not grown tired of it.
