Report: Chris Cornell defends his new album, “Scream”…

Leave a comment

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.

Has Cornell gone insane? Did him covering Michael Jackson a bad influence in him? We just lost a rock n’ roll Chris Cornell and now we get a pop/R&B Cornell. BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I heard the new songs of the new samples in his myspace, and they are crap. Sorry Chris, but I prefer your older stuff better. What the hell is the man thinking? Does he want to be a pop star now? Blech!!!!
