But I don't like music that's consciously made with a market in mind, and that's how I feel about Scream.

"Scream" may have fallen between 2 stools marketing-wise, but that doesn't mean the music isn't good. A lot of people say that album's ahead of its time. I found that once I got over the shock of how different it sounded, it was as rewarding as any of Cornell's other work with bands or on his own. Lyrics in particular have been unfairly maligned - there's some pretty deep stuff in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
