Chris Cornell - Carry On

Rating

Carry On is an amazing and diverse album. It has a great mix of tunes which really showcase Cornell's ability to go back and forth between genres. I love the diversity and the fact that he's still evolving. His voice is amazing, as always. For me, there's no one else who comes close as a vocalist and songwriter. Some of my favorite tracks include Disappearing Act, Ghosts, Scar on the Sky, Poison Eye, No Such Thing and You Know My Name, to name a few. I really love this album!

I really like his solo work more than his work with Audioslave. Don't get me wrong, those albums were good but I thoght "Revelations" was lacking something. The cover of "Billie Jean" is awesome! Never thought I would like a song originally recorded by Michael Jackson.

This CD is a must have for Cornell fans. I feel it really shows his maturity, versatility and ability to take listeners down a new path, while maintaining the constant of ¿the voice¿ we know and love. It is not hard to see (or hear) why Chris Cornell has been a highly successful musician for over 20 years. That kind of staying power does not happen without taking risks and reaching outside a certain comfort zone. On Carry On, I especially enjoy Ghosts, Disappearing Act and Arms Around Your Love.

I truly enjoy listening to Chris Cornell's new album. I do admit it took some time getting use to it but once I got past that point there was no turning back. My favorites so far: "Safe and Sound", "Disappearing Act", "Poison Eye", "Scar upon the Sky", "Killing Birds", "Your Soul Today" and bonus track "Today". The mood and atmosphere is very light and happy. This reflects his current state of mind and lifestyle. It's a joy to see. Some songs make me get up and groove. lol Who would've thought. I have been fortunate to have seen him a couple times in concert this year. I do admit I like the live acoustic version of "Scar upon the Sky". Maybe because I do like it when Chris keeps the songs simple and let's his voice shine through. His voice is very beautiful. Seasons is one of my favorite songs. It's just him and his guitar singing his heart out. What more can you ask for? I recommend the album and seeing him perform his classics and new songs live in concert.

I love this album! It keeps getting better the more I listen to it and is on its way to being one of my favorites. Although this album is different than some of the things he's done in the past, it shows his growth and maturity as an artist. The songs are all so different and offer something for everyone. His powerful vocals and creative lyrics would make any album a hit. I would definitely recommend it!
