I've been listening to Louder Than Love a lot lately. I think it holds up pretty well as a solid hard rock album. There's a definite Jimi Hendrix/Voodoo Child influence in Hands All Over (same in Even Flow, btw). I love the way the melody is there just to let Chris Cornell belt out long notes - the words are pretty irrelevant.
Hands all overrrrr!Dead composerrrrrr!Broke the toasterr!Hang stockbrokerrs!

LTL has always been my favorite album of theirs. I love the Terry Date production, it's very "roomy". when I came out I was a senior in high school and used to come home from school every day, hit up the one-hitter, and blast the thing in my room. good times

i'm not crazy about the pre-Shepherd records so i was almost hoping that whenever they tour around here the set would be just the hits straight up, like similar to the set i saw them do at Lollapalooza a few months before breaking up, but yeah pretty cool that they went through the whole catalog and ignored their biggest hit. they'll probably be at least a little more crowd-pleasing on the festival circuit, though, i imagine.

aww....Cornell's voice sounds shot on "Spoonman" - as I feared, but was hopeful after the first youtube posting.

What? Was the limp-pop direction of his first (& only) solo joint failing him so much that he's reverting back to his Badmotorfinger / Louder than Love uber-aggression stance?
Good lord, this sentence.

Good god it's nice to hear Thayil again. I don't even care if Chris can't maintain the screaming anymore. Definitely psyched to see them.

yeah really if i go to a show it'll be to hear the band ROKK THE FUKK OUT, if the vox sound good it'll be a bonus
is there any word on how extensively they'll be touring and whether they'll be doing headlining gigs all over or mostly festivals?
― a hoy hoy young mess (some dude), Monday, 19 April 2010 17:35 (fourteen years ago) link
The "limp-pop" thing was actually Cornell's second solo album. People keep forgetting the actually not terrible Euphoria Morning. I'd rather have had more in that direction than Audioslave tbh.

There are few things worse in this world than hearing Chris Cornell's pinched, straining scream further ruin a song that was already pretty shitty to begin with.

I don't want to haul my ass to Chicago, definitely hoping for a few more shows. Cornell sounds a hell of a lot better than I thought he would in those youtube clips. and that set list...short of Little Joe, that's almost my perfect setlist. NO BLACK HOLE SUN!!! If I never heard that song again it would be too soon.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 19 April 2010 23:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Ha! My first reaction to the setlist was "Aw, no litte joe!"
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 19 April 2010 23:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Keep in mind since this was a secret show, the setlist might be more 'obscure' than what they play at 'Palooza. could also be that Cornell hates Black Hole Sun too....

― Bogart Puff 'n Stuff (Cattle Grind), Saturday, 24 April 2010 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link
so my impressions are I won't listen to this much but it's a neat lil souveneir, the band sounds great, like they haven't missed a step. Chris goes flat a bit vocally, but he sounds better than I expected. his shriek is more shrill than melodic nowadays, but he still hits some good ones. he has 'old man' sounding moments like he did on his "Carry On" album but even Fell On Black days he modifies the way he sings it to fit his current voice.
totally wanna see em now.

― borntohula, Sunday, 25 April 2010 15:40 (fourteen years ago) link
it's interesting that they so heavily favored songs from the Badmotorfinger/Louder Than Love period where Cornell was probably screaming a bit a more than on the last 2 albums, maybe he felt like he had something to prove by singing those songs again.
― surmudgeon (some dude), Sunday, 25 April 2010 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link
yea for sure. he did hit some real nice screams that show some of it is still there, but I can imagine he only had that stamina early in the show and had to result in turning the awesome "NOW I KNOW WHY YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN" shriek into a....polite tinny falsetto. It kind of....deflates the track :/. plus it's also hard when you're playing guitar at the same time.

The aesthetic slide from shitkicking potheads covering Cheech&Chong/Spinal Tap into...whatever this[^]is...is why I bailed after Badmotorfinger. Somewhere along the way their tongues got too far into their cheeks and numbed up their critical faculties.
Anyway Kim Thayil kicks ass.
