Album Notes
U.K. edition includes one bonus track.OUT OF EXILE presents a band that has grown comfortably into its own skin. Three years after Audioslave's highly successful debut, the supergroup crafted a truly formidable rock album with a fresh, live-in-the-studio rawness. Former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello rolls back the distortion subtly, playing with a notably more melodic touch, best evidenced on "Heaven's Dead" and "Dandelion." Soundgarden's Chris Cornell's weathered voice at times walks a perilous ledge, yet never to a fault--that very danger and heartfelt soulfulness are part and parcel of his revered approach. The heady and poetic "#1 Zero" and "Be Yourself" strongly uphold Cornell's consummate lyrical prowess.OUT OF EXILE could hardly be an Audioslave record without a crop of head-thrashing, foot-stomping riffs, as revealed in "Your Time Has Come," "The Worm," and the powerful title track. Bassist Tim Commerford remains supportive and inventive in his playing, while Brad Wilk notches up his drumming considerably, taking chances and stretching beyond his dependable grooves on the band's first release. With the crack production and mixing of Rick Rubin and Brendan O'Brien, respectively, OUT OF EXILE raises the bar for the quartet on all levels.

Editorial Reviews
Drummer Brad Wilk drives, bassist Tim Commerford is solely in charge of grooves, and guitarist Tom Morello works hard at being amazing. - Grade: A-Mojo (p.95) - 3 stars out of 5 - [T]he quartet display a welcome lightness of touch. 'Be Yourself' is a soar-away piece of drivetime empathy...

  Audioslave - Out of Exile
Review created: 16/07/08

No one knew quite what to expect when former Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell joined Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine. Both bands had produced albums noted for their lyrical prowess, RAGM's always political, Soundgarden more introspective, but Soundgarden were grunge, RAGM a rock band fronted by a rapper.

Audioslave's self titled debut album saw heavy rock mixed with prophetical lyrics, fusing some of the best elements of the member's previous bands.

Their second album, Out of Exile, shows only occasional glimpses of this. A softer blend of rock with slightly more mundane lyrics, the album is almost redeemed by track 1: "Your Time Has Come", 2 "Out of Exile", 7 "The Worm", 8 "Man or Animal", and on some versions a great acoustic live recording of "Like a Stone" from, you guessed it, the debut album.

In short if you loved the first album you'll love half of this one.

An excellent second album from Audioslave, I highly recommend Out of Exile and if you enjoyed their first album this one will certainly not disappoint.
