What’s more surprising than Scream‘s R&B bells and whistles (provided by überproducer Timbaland) is that Cornell almost succeeds at that goal without tarnishing his hard-rawkin’ legacy.

Most of these tracks are a characterless collection of digital twinkles, time-keeping synth-strings, beats that neither surprise nor get in your feet, and enough layers of vocal processing to make even T-Pain roll his eyes.

The record sounds phoned in, plain and simple, and its awkward concessions to cliché, its trash heap lyrical conceits, and its dopey production have a cumulative effect that would be insulting if it weren’t so transparently uninspired and uninteresting.

If this was the only album Chris Cornell ever released, he would be one of the most insufferable artists of all time in my eyes. Luckily, his legacy with Soundgarden remains (and is untarnished by this disasterpiece), but so does Scream. And it sucks.
Edit (14 -> 73)
When I made an AOTY account, there were some albums I wanted to just rate close to the majority rating in order to boost the number of albums that I rated (it was really stupid, why did I care so much, whatever). At this point, I’ve rectified pretty much all of my bandwagon ratings that don’t truly reflect my personal thoughts, except for one: “Scream” by Chris Cornell. Now, I have to admit first that I haven’t listened to an entire Soundgarden ... read more
Chris Cornel was my goat but this is just a cheap attempt to stay relevant.
Couple decent songs --> far away/ground zero but besides that.... eh...
I really don't understand why this album has really low ratings it might not be the most interesting album but Chris Cornell vocals in this is insane Wich might be the reason I think it is such a good album because I rarely lesson to albums for the vocals more for the music so when I first heard this I were in shock of how much I enjoyed Chris singing in this

This album is the equivalent of watching your dad get drunk and embarrass himself in public

As much as this record just doesn’t work and aged like poop in areas, I can’t deny that it’s got a really specific charm. Like Chris fucking Cornell doing late 2000s electropop a la Justin Timberlake or Nelly Furtado is insane
