Where we at wit da Post-Grunge ?

[Stent]

Reminds me of being driven to football and wrestling practice as a youngster. My dad listened to a station that incessantly played Blurry

Sounds like your dad was getting ready to molest you to be honest.

Audioslave were pretty good until Tom Morello would do his stupid gimmicky shit to ruin the songs. RATM was just Zack de la Rocha shouting so put in all the corny guitar work you want, Tom. Cornell was an incredible singer who seemed to punish himself with industry hacks and dingleberries.

You aren't wrong.

He tried his hand at R&B, even working under Timbaland. It was a big deal at the time, he was trying to branch out... And it failed.

Kool and I practically dissected that bloody album at the time. To this day, he doesn't hate it, and contests that there was something there. I'm indifferent - I think if he went a little harder, some of the songs would've worked much better, but what do I know? It's not my genre.

It was trying to put a square peg in a round hole ( ) and I don't think there was any way to make it work. It was way too commercial-oriented to even have lingering artistic merit. If at least it was pretentious, people could look back and say they tried something.
