Christ Cornell

Believe it or not, there are still a bunch of people who give a shit about Chris Cornell.
If you haven’t heard, Chris Cornell released a really shitty album last month. If you’ve got a picture of a shitty Chris Cornell album in your head right now, multiply it by a hundred.
That’s how bad the new Chris Cornell album is.
Through years of success with Soundgarden, a few popular soundtrack songs, and continued success with Audioslave, it’s not surprising that Cornell still has some fans. What’s amazing is their ability to tolerate not only the worst album in Cornell’s career, but to embrace one that seriously undermines all of that man’s prior highpoints.
For those of you who don’t know about this, Cornell enlisted Timbaland to help with his latest solo album. It’s really bad. End of story, really.
But there is a contingent of uber-fans, ones who disagree with my “hate” fueled assessment, even though there’s obviously something wrong with it and, potentially, Chris Cornell.
Evidently there is a family dispute between Cornell and his ex-wife Susan Silver, a heated one in which the former-Soundgarden manager held 15 prized guitars from Cornell. He was very mad and apparently there’s a conspiracy between Silver and record reviewers to systemically chip away at the Chirs Cornell juggernaut in the form of heated reviews about Scream.
Never mind that the thing is a turd with very unpleasant matrix of programmed beats surrounding it.
Here’s some irony: former members of Soundgarden (including Kim Thayil!) teamed up with Tom Morello and Tad Fucking Doyle for a brief set by Tadgarden. Thayil looks older but awesome. And Tad Doyle looks like an older Tad.
