Billboard CD reviews
(Reuters)
Reuters - The cover art on Chris Cornell's
second solo album suggests a folk record from the early '60s
(and the title suggests a Kansas cover lurking about
somewhere). But the music inside is strictly crunchy,
dare-we-say-grungy rock straight out of the '90s that Cornell
helped shape with Soundgarden. "Ghosts" sports a nostalgically
Seattle-ish minor-chord riff and appropriately soaring chorus;
"No Such Thing" out-Velvet Revolvers Scott Weiland; and
meaty-sounding ballads "Disappearing Act" and "Silence" end the
record in unusually strong fashion. Elsewhere, the
headline-grabbing cover of "Billie Jean" is well intentioned
but still a little silly, although it boasts a crazy, Eddie Van
Halen-sounding solo. The best thing here is "You Know My Name"
from last fall's "Casino Royale,": which is some of Cornell's
most uncomplicated and accessible music to date.
