Out of Exile by Audioslave

Out of Exile, Audioslave's second album, came out on May 23, 2005, through Epic and Interscope, landing in the US a day after the rest of the world, and it's the sound of a supergroup that had stopped acting like one and started acting like a band. Rick Rubin produced it with the group, and the four of them lock together tighter than before: Chris Cornell singing and adding guitar, Tom Morello on guitar, Tim Commerford on bass and backing vocals, Brad Wilk on drums.
Morello still makes his guitar squeal, stutter and wail like a broken siren, but the riffs leave more room for air, and Cornell's voice gets to soar instead of just scream. "Be Yourself" is a big, open-hearted anthem, "Your Time Has Come" charges hard, "Doesn't Remind Me" rides a loose, sunny swing, and the title track and "Man or Animal" bring the thunder back.
It became the only Audioslave album to hit number one on the Billboard 200, and "Doesn't Remind Me" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 48th Grammy Awards.
