Audioslave - Revelations: Reigniting the Fire by Evan Parker, Staff Writer

Audioslave - Revelations: Reigniting the Fire by Evan Parker, Staff Writer Just four years ago, even before their self-titled debut album released, critics were quick to label Audioslave simply as "just another supergroup." Well they were right in some respects; they are a rock group, and they are super. Revelations is the follow-up album to 2005's Out of Exile, and is the band's third album release. Being that Out of Exile took nearly three years to complete leaves one to question Revelation's quality, however let me assure you that nothing here has been rushed and that the production value is on par with the group's previous releases. The unexpected brevity of the creation process of the album can be attributed to the group's steadfast dedication to their music. Audioslave is comprised of the common "four-piece" among rock groups, which means there is a vocalist, drummer, guitarist and bassist including backup vocals commonly performed by the instrumentalists. This setup has yielded unlimited success in today's music scene, however the quality of the group depends on the musicians' talent and of course, the producer. Making his first appearance with Audioslave is legendary music producer Brendan O'Brien. The production work he has done include several breakout albums from major artists of today and from the past including: Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Bruce Springsteen, The Offspring, Incubus and Soundgarden, among others. With a pedigree like this fused with extremely talented artists, one can almost guarantee the success of Revelations.
