Looking at the track list, and having had Revelations for a month or two now, I'd say 9 out of 12 are keepers. a combination of complex, interesting guitar work, amazing vocal dexterity and lyrical quality level above mediocre.
descending order of greatness (best first) (your mileage may vary)
Moth
Broken City
One and The Same
Shape of Things to Come
Original Fire
Sound of A gUn
Wide awake
Somedays
NOthing Left to say but goodbye
Jewel of the summertime
Revelations
Until We Fall- #1 worst audioslave song of all time, IMHO slow and kind of whiny, we all make clunkers from time to time. I love cornell's solo work, it's not a ballad that bothers me, just this one. these three are not even in my MP3 player.
as others have said, first album was fantastic, out of exile was weaker, title track , man or animal, your time has come, #1 zero, the worm be yourself and doesn't remind me are keepers, which puts that one at about 50% great, still not bad in today's music world. one thing I will say about chris cornell, (and by extension those he works with) is that he's a true artist, not content to repeat himself for a paycheck.
