by the way, this is what i wrote about audioslave:
"Alt-metal supergroup Audioslave features ex-Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell and the remains of leftist heroes Rage Against the Machine. Audioslave, playing a sold-out gig at 930 Club, have sanded their political and arty edges into bland mainstream rock."
take out one word ("bland") and i'd think all of that is pretty damn objective ... rage was political, soundgarden had arty excess, and both of those qualities have been smoothed out for audioslave, which unabashadly makes mainstream corporate rock
again, music is completely personal, most rock fans obviously like mainstream corporate rock, and more power to them ... what's your big beef about that short paragraph?
