View Full Version : I like the Audioslave demos more than the album

What do you motherbitches think? Like a Stone's guitar solo is so much better on the demos. It just doesn't flow right on the album. The transition from slow to fast just isn't good.

I haven't heard them, but I'd like to.

I don't especially like either but my friend has the same position on it you do.

...but here it's all muscle, no texture or color. Consequently, many of the songs sound like they're just on the verge of achieving liftoff, never quite reaching their potential. There are moments, usually arriving in the first half, where Audioslave suddenly, inexplicably clicks, sounding like a band, not a marketer's grand scheme. Still, these moments are few and far between and it's hard to get through this album as a whole. By the end, it's clear that this pairing was a clever idea, but not an inspired one.

I very much agree....I was disappointed that a couple of my favourite tracks from the demos didn't even make the album -- sounds like another band we all know.

sorry to disappoint you, but i don't think anyone has those in non-mp3 format... for all i know (and i was on several ratm/audioslave message boards when the demos appeared) all those people just saw them appearing on kazaa and that's it.

I wasn't really impressed with either. Soundgarden is far superior
