By every metric I should have loved Audioslave. Cornell is objectively a good singer, and Morell is objectively a good guitarist. Where I think they failed is that they didn't push any boundaries. There were no new sounds, no exciting new riffs or lyrics. It was just tepid milquetoast garbage, designed to be played on FM stations for the next 30 years.
Nothing risked. Nothing gained. A failure as artists, but a fine investment as aging rockers whose bands fell apart. 3/10 would not bang
