Audioslave 5 stars worthy Amassing Rock songs

I realized that I have not written anything on the Audioslave band. Before reviewing their music, I want to give a brief info on this rock band. From what I heard, Audioslave was a monster of a rockband. It was composed of some of the most talented rock musicians. From the band, the one I know best is Tom Morello, from Rage Against the Machines. The other member worth mentioning is Chris Cornell. He wrote all the lyrics of the Audioslave songs.

When this band was formed, its members tried hard to distance themselves from their former groups. Together they created their unique, Audioslave sound. Despite Audioslave's awesomeness, this band did not have a long career. It formed in 2001 and it got disbanded in 2007. At most, Audioslave only produced 3 albums. From these albums, only these six songs are worth mentioning. Now, let us begin the Audioslave music review! On second though, no "!". I am kinda mellowed out at the moment.

 For hilarious purposes, the first song worth mentioning is "#1 Zero". This song is from Audioslave's Out of Exile album. This song is about what one does for a person we love. The speaker feels like the number one zero in this relationship. This contradictory statement is the landmark of this song. If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. In a relationship, sometimes your lover threats you like their personal doormat. In time, you become their number one zero.

This song also has some stalker elements. Despite such ill treatments, the speaker feels compelled to look after its beloved from the distance. This is noted in the lines, "But just when you think you've left me blind / I'll be creeping right up behind". The speaker will always watch over his "baby" from the corner of his eye.

Aside from the lyrics, I specially like Tom Morello's  guitar. It has a unique zigzag sound about. It comes and goes, comes and goes. This unique sound is to be expected of Tom Morello. He is so, totally awesome. The solo too is pretty interesting. In any case, the "#1 Zero" song by Audioslave deserves 5 stars rating. 

The second song ,worth mentioning, is "Cochise". "Cochise" is the first song of Audioslave's Audioslave album. Out of morbid curiosity, I looked up what "Cochise" meant. At first, I thought it was a word that Audioslave had made up. It turns out that "Cochise" is the name of an Apache leader. He died trying to resist the white invasion. He did succeed, but his predecessors kinda ruined it.

Now, onto the "Cochise" song. I read both the lyrics and the wiki bio on "Cochise". The title has absolutely nothing to do with the song itself. Overall, the "Cochise" song is about a guy who has drinking problems. The speaker wants to help him. He would rather he take his anger out on him, instead of having that guy drink himself to death.

My favorite lines are found in the verse " Drown if you want / And I'll see you in the bottom / Where you crawl / On my skin / And put the blame on me / So you don't feel a thing". The guitar and the mood on those lines was something else. It carried well the feeling of hitting rock bottom. Truly, the Coshise song deserves 5 stars rating.

Well, the remainder of the Audioslave songs worth reviewing are also from their first album. The other albums where never my cup of tea. Now, onto the "Explorer" song review. The song begins by telling us of an innocent man who was imprisoned; afterwards, you get the chorus. The chorus is about how the righteous do not know wrong. Nor can they ever understand it because they always walked on the right path.

The next verse is about a kid who went insane; in addition, to a girl who had killed herself. The last verse is about the speaker killing himself, as well. Overall, the song is about the terrible sights one sees when you actually bother to look around. There are numerous of private tragedies occurring everyday. One rarely sees then, but that still does not mean that they do not occur. For such a grim message, and a killer guitar, "Explorer" by Audioslave deserves 5 stars rating.

The next song worth mentioning is "Hypnotize". Its about rich person... I think. The narrator is telling him, "don't you keep your good luck to yourself ". By sharing it around, he can enjoy it better and forget about his problems. Despite having a lot of good luck, that person has set his mind to falling. It happens often that those with money invent themselves new problems. This is one such persons, who has done everything he planned, yet he wishes to fall. In any case, the "Hypnotize" song by Audioslave deserves 5 stars rating.

The "Show me How to Live" song is pretty self explanatory. Here, the speaker wants Jesus to show him how to live. Around the end of the song, the speaker starts singing about death and resurrection. You know, the standard motif. The drums had an interesting beat about them. The guitar was also peachy. Truly, "Show me How to Live" is a 5 stars worthy song.

As usual, I saved the best for last. Like a Stone is truly a sublime song. In my opinion, it is one of the best rock songs I have ever heard. Overall, the song is about a man who is dying. He is in the middle of reading the bible. There he read how he would die alone. He longs to be in the house of the lord. He says, " I'll wait for you there / Like a Stone".

Frankly, the chorus lines are the best. The guitar solo was one of Tom Morello's finest solos. Truly, an exquisite masterpiece. In any case, "Like a Stone" deserves 5 stars rating. I hope that you liked the songs that I recommended for you chibis from the Audioslave band. They are all truly 5 stars worthy rock songs.
