Reviews Customer Reviews for Out Of Exile      A great second album--maybe better than the debut      Rating:      Audioslave's second record 'Out Of Exile' is an instant classic. Released in 2005 on the Interscope label, 'Out Of Exile' is musically better than their debut. Chris Cornell's vocals are outstanding, and Tom Morello's guitars are worth the price of the album alone. Although many people prefer their self-titled debut over 'Exile,' I am not one of those people. Songs like 'Doesn't Remind Me,' 'Be Yourself' and 'Out Of Exile' are among the band's finest. I never understood why songs like 'Dandelion' never got played on the radio that much. It's a great alternative song, and traces of Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine show throughout the song. Overall, this is highly recommended to anybody who wants to hear some classic alternative. An extraordinary record that is well worth owning. Highly recommended. ENJOY!!!     Customer Reviews for Out Of Exile Cd      A Great Contribution to the Music World      Rating:      I've been a fan of Singer Chris Cornell since I first heard his music with Soundgarden in the early '90's. He has a very distinctive voice you can't mistake for anyone but him. Audioslave is a different style of band than Soundgarden, creating a more commercial, straightforward style of rock. The other members of Audioslave are Tom Morello (guitar), Tim Commerford (bass) and Brad Wilk (drums) all from the well know Rage Against The Machine. The album is well produced, featuring some excellent songs,like "Doesn't Remind Me", "Be Yourself" and "Your Time Has Come", which is the strong opening track. "Doesn't Remind Me" starts out with a lightly strummed guitar sound to be joined with Cornell's lovely vocals and a pounding bass. The title track "Out of Exile" is a very dramatic mid-tempo rock song with great drum work. Sure the album like most has it's down time with songs that are slight boring but overall Audioslave are a great contribution to the music world. Editorial Reviews for Out Of Exile Audio Cd      Amazon.com      In what was widely predicted to be a short-lived supergroup/side-project, Audioslave has instead gratifyingly yielded a bonafide band. The follow-up to their promising, if not quite artistically congealed '02 debut finds singer/songwriter Chris Cornell contributing a slate of songs that would have done his former Soundgarden proud, while guitarist Tom Morello and his former Rage Against the Machine bandmates cast them in a focused rhythmic groove that suggests that the old school can still yield a timely lesson or two. Cornell's best songs may still lurk in the shadows (the funeral hypno-blues of "Heaven's Dead," the martial metal of antiwar opener "Your Time Has Come," "The Worm" as anthem for self-loathing), yet they're now brightened with such surprisingly sunny fare as "Dandelion," "Doesn't Remind Me"'s charged, existentialist daydream and even a hook-rich, dangerously optimistic back-to-the-future power ballad in "Be Yourself." Morello's work on the title track and elsewhere is a study in taste and less-is-more efficiency, a telling hint of how forcefully these iconic '90s stars have sublimated their egos as their new music has blossomed; who said there are no second acts in American (rock) lives? --Jerry McCulley
