So today I finally got a chance to check out the new Chris Cornell album Scream, and that is exactly what it made me want to do, in horror. My fucking God, what has gotten into the world of music these days? I can only compare it to if Britney Spears took a shit in Seal’s mouth who then gave Moby head, who ejaculated all over a fucking CD. This is what the end result would be.
Is this really the man who fronted such amazing, genre defining bands as Temple of the Dog and Soundgarden? (Leaving Audioslave out, out of respect to RATM). It scares me that people are calling this progressive. This is not fucking progressive. This is one washed up hard rock singer, who clearly couldn’t hack it in the late 2000′s where the genre is dominated by no talent hacks, and a big name hip-hop producer that doesn’t even make his own beats, teaming up to fuck the last bit of life out of the art that used to be called music.
I can only pray that this doesn’t catch on and become the new Limp Bizkit-esque, rap-rock hit of the new millennium. Hopefully, the fact that he only had the stones to smash a piece of shit $300 Epiphone Les Paul on the cover of the album means he isn’t committed to this new direction and he will not only never make anything like it again, but also wipe every existing copy of this album from the face of the earth. Fuck, I need a drink.
