vixapphire · 29th June 2007

Picked this up the other day, a little late to the party. I've always loved CC's voice, even as it has mellowed and changed tonally over the past few years. But I didn't find as much musically to love on this album as on Euphoria Morning, or even his tunes on the first Audioslave record. Anyone else have an opinion on this record; is there something I'm missing that's worthy of closer attention?

Oh, and the question I've got: were they joking with the cover of Billie Jean? It sounds like it started out in jest, but they decided to go with it anyway. The drummer, bless his heart, is fantastic on that cut - really feeling the bluze - but jeezus! A slow-blues of Billie Jean??? I don't know whether to laugh or cry!
