Chris Cornell is getting so much negative heat on his new album “Scream”, which is an R&B and electronic influenced album which is produced by Timbaland. Chris claims it’s mostly the older Soundgarden fans that are shitting on the album. They don’t like him going the distance from the hard rock and metal genre that Chris usually does.
Then he goes on saying, he’s just doing whatever makes him happy, that he needs to discover new things and go in different worlds when it comes to making music. Meaning that he doesn’t want to stay in one genre, all the time.

I agree. Chris brings up a good point. Musicians do get bored playing the same genre all the time. It don’t hurt to mix it all up a bit.
I haven’t even heard his new album, “Scream”, yet, but maybe I will pick it up sometime and check it out.
Chris is aiming for a younger fanbase, and he’s doing a great job at it too.

Yeah he’s trying something different, but it’s just not that good. He seems to be going for an American Idol type audience. He’s appearing on shows he never would’ve appeared on in the past. He did an album called Euphoria Morning years ago. That was different than Soundgarden too, didn’t rock- but was good. Also wrote a killer song called “Sunshower” on the Singles Soundtrack. I’m all for Chris trying new stuff, but this seems like a desperate attempt to gain popularity with an audience that listens to auto-tune vocals like TPain or the new Kayne West.
