ex grunge band Soundgarden and Audioslave vocalist Cornell's second solo effort...
lots of stripped down songs here,well, what i mean by that is that theyre not grungy, but instead have a semi-acoustic feel to most of them, most noteably on his surprisingly good cover of the Michael Jackson classic...Cornell's acoustic version of "billie jean" is stripped right back to acoustic guitar and vocals and slowed right on down, his vocals are full of dispair,yet urgent at the same time as he puts emotion into this great pop song...
album is very melodic compared the the other bands he has fronted over the years, he probably lost a few diehards with this one, but he gained me as a fan!
