Revelations by Audioslave

Revelations, Audioslave's third album, came out on Epic and Interscope on September 4, 2006, with America getting it a day later, and it turned out to be the last word. Brendan O'Brien produced, and the supergroup that paired Soundgarden's Chris Cornell with Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk leans harder here into the old funk and soul that always lurked under the riffs.
"Original Fire" struts with a soul-revue swagger, and the title track gives Cornell's huge, rangy voice room to climb while Morello does his usual strange things to a guitar, all of it built from nothing more than guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Within months Cornell was gone, quitting in February 2007, and rather than hunt for a new singer the other three shut Audioslave down and turned their attention to a Rage reunion.
