In case you didn't catch the symbolism, Chris Cornell is smashing a guitar on the cover of Scream because he's done with those six-strings -- he's leaving it all behind for Timbaland, who has long wanted to leave hip-hop and R&B behind to make a rock album. As an idea, this rock-dance fusion has some merit; clearly, Cornell needs to do something to shake himself out of his solo stupor and Timbaland is an imaginative, daring producer whose gifts are not limited by genre, although as much as they want to stretch, neither ...

In case you didn't catch the symbolism, Chris Cornell is smashing a guitar on the cover of Scream because he's done with those six-strings -- he's leaving it all behind for Timbaland, who has long wanted to leave hip-hop and R&B behind to make a rock album. As an idea, this rock-dance fusion has some merit; clearly, Cornell needs to do something to shake himself out of his solo stupor and Timbaland is an imaginative, daring producer whose gifts are not limited by genre, although as much as they want to stretch, neither Cornell nor Timbaland is willing to leave his comfort zone here. To be fair, Timbaland's tracks are often augmented by additional production by anyone from Justin Timberlake to OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder. Whoever was directly responsible, the result sounds like skittering dance-pop, graced by Cornell's sometimes looped, sometimes manipulated caterwaul. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

If you are expecting Badmotorfinger revisited, don't buy Scream. If, however, like me, you love an artist that evolves, then Scream is your ride. Buy a ticket! There are pop songs, blues songs, rock songs and everything in between on this record. Much better than previous record, Carry On. Cornell still has the voice that can peel paint off the walls. You won't be disappointed. There are a few danceable tunes on here as well. Chris Cornell is a unique artist as he can sing and write anything well. Give Scream a whirl. Oh, and see this guy live if you can. He puts on a 2 hour show everytime when he is the headliner. Plays songs from his entire career. Definitely a don't miss!
