Chris Cornell is truly one of the best male rock vocalists of our time! He is formally trained in voice/music, has a great range (pitch, texture and emotion) but has a rhaspy, sincere tone which lends soulfulness to all he does. I think this album, like his newest ("Carry On"), is mellower than one would expect if all they have heard is his work with Soundgarden or Audioslave. I liked Soundgarden, loved Audioslave and love Chris Cornell on his own... amazed this album never seemed to have any hits. Maybe it's just too hard to classify?
Throughout my grade school years and on into high school, Soundgarden was my favorite band. I loved their eclectic grunge sound and the diversity of songs on albums like "Superunknown" and "Down on the Upside." Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when they split, but Chris Cornell has helped mend that loss with his solo career. I loved "Euphoria Morning" from the start, even though it sounds almost nothing like Cornell's earlier musical offerings with Thayil, Shepherd and Cameron. His solo work is much more moody and acoustic-driven, two adjectives that could never really be applied to Soundgarden. My favorites from this album are "Can't Change Me," "Flutter Girl," "Follow My Way," "Moonchild," "Disappearing One," and "Pillow of Your Bones." Those songs represent half of the album, and the other songs are also pretty decent. I don't own too many albums where I love half the songs, which is high praise for Cornell's debut solo album.Read full review
Since there won't be any new material, I figured it would be a good idea to scoop up any obscure material I could find. This fits the bill pretty well. This man was my favorite artist and he will be missed. I was a bit disappointed that Sun Shower was not on the copy I bought. I did not realize only the rare Japanese edition has it on it. For anyone reading this that may be looking for that song, Sun shower can be obtained on the Great Expectations sound track.
