CD Description
'Revelations' is the third studio album by Audioslave. Guitarist Tom Morello described the sound as "Earth Wind & Fire meets Led Zeppelin" and "a big hard rock record with a funkybottom". The album experiments with songs that are funky, soulful and anthemic, and it all adds up to a powerhouse rockrecord. The band recorded 'Revelations' at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with producer Brendan O'Brien. This special edition adds a DVD featuring a short film by cult photographerDanny Clinch.

Customer Reviews

Revelations
This is another great album from Audioslave. It is fairly similar to their second album, IE it has some great songs and their unique, excellent style but slightly lacking the power of the first album. Saying that, the songs here are great (and the debut was SO good as a bench mark) that this album easily stands up to repeated listening and is a brilliant album in it's own right. If you're already a fan you can't go wrong and if you're new to Audioslave you'll be getting a top album to start your love affair with this band. The DVD has some good features to keep you interested for fifteen minutes as well!

A strong comeback after the "Difficult Second Album"
I couldn't wait to hear Audioslave's first album. When I heard about the collaboration between Chris Cornell, one of the most distinctive singers in rock music and the remains of Rage Against The Machine, one of the best bands of the nineties, it was not a case of "Will it be any good?" but more one of "Just how good will it be?". I was not dissapointed. It was superb - easily the best rock record of the decade so far, and translated brilliantly to the live shows they performed in the follow-up tour.

The second album was a different kettle of fish. It just lacked any of those moments that really raise the heartbeat and give you that surge of energy that rock fans live for. It was steady, but nothing more.

I was taken by surprise at the speed with which the band released this third album - it is only a year on from the last one. With such haste comes a fear that things have been rushed and quality has suffered as a result. Was the band aware that the second album was not as well received as the first and thus rushed more material out to try to minimise the damage to a growing reputation? If that was the case it hardly matters because this is an excellent collection of songs.

The overall sound harks back to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in the early nineties, before they grew old and slowed down, crossed with a heavy dose of Led Zeppelin and even a hint of late eighties cock rock. Somehow this all adds up to a big growling funky beast, with all four members sounding like they are enjoying themselves. The enjoyment is infectious. There are a couple of songs of the more mature, calmer variety, but mostly these songs are loud, mean and display a similar sort of rough groove to that in Rage's best work.

The first half of the album is strongest: all of the first seven songs are worthy of five stars as they are real crackers. One or two of the later songs betray a slight tailing-off, hence the rating of only 4 stars overall. But that's ok, because you can play it on a loop and listen to the start of the album again straight afterwards and you soon forget that!

This is a very good, highly recommended album. So whether you are a rock fan looking for something new or are a fan who is not sure after the second album, fear not. You won't be dissapointed this time. Revelations indeed.

their best yet?......
Bought this day after it came out, haven't stopped listening to it since, it is just as the band have described it themselves, they are their own band on this record with their own sound, no just the remains of soundgarden and rage put together. Highlights are Moth, Sound of a Gun, Wide Awake and Shape of things to come, but there is not a bad or mediocre track on the album, they are all outstanding as you come to expect with a band of this calibre. The DVD is pretty good too, just gives you an insight in to the bands thoughts about making the album, and their reasoning for going back into the studio so soon after Out of Exile, which given the results, was the right thing to do! If you liked their first album and felt a bit let down by Out of Exile, this gets back on track, heavy and hard rocking!Alternatively if you liked both albums you will still love this.
