I'm really disappointed with this album. I was open to the idea of this collaboration but I think it could have had better results. I hope this was just a trial/phase and that he doesn't do this again. He might as well done a duet with Britney Spears.

I know that musical progression can be important to an artist, and Chris Cornell probably believes that too. But personally i believe in this instance this change in style and genre was a mistake for Chris Cornell and that, while it is an interesting concept, an artist like Chris going into this genre of music will not produce good results.

I screamed when I heard Cornell's "Scream" - not out of pure joy and ecstacy but out of horror that Cornell has sold out on his rock roots and switched over to the pop world. He's singing the same genre as JLo, Britney and Timberlake. Totally shattered my image of him as a rock grunge icon, simply shocking. I hope this is an experimental phase, and not simply because he's changing genre because that is where the money trail is.

Do not buy this disc it is horrific. A stud grunge artist trying to be something he is not and will never be? Embarrassing to all that will listen. Wish he would consider his fans more before wasting time recording such garbage. Thought of throwing this disc into the street to see how many times it would skip, but just decided to throw it in the trash as I didn't want to even sell it to another unfortunate soul.

Despite how lyrically hilarious the album opener "Part of Me" is, the album is built on beats that are deliciously danceable, Cornell's voice sounds almost (ALMOST) as good as his Superunknown days, and aside from suggesting he's ever been caught in a club with "that girl rubbin' up against me", his lyrics have hit a happy, heartfelt middle ground between the drugged out abyss imagery of his Soundgarden era and the did-Phil-Collins-write-this?! adult contemporary awfulness of Carry On. There is a certain vacuity to the music on the whole, but there's also an undeniably catchy blend of pop hooks and dance rhythms. Coupled with Cornell's voice, the combination is usually good, always interesting.

Terrible. Cornell, now you officially suck ass.

I don't care about what grunge icone he was back in the '90s, but now he's on a good way to shatter that image forever. Has he completely forgotten what music he was making back then, what music he loved? Because this is a complete bullcrap.

Thank GOD we still have Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam releasing new albums, at least they stay true to their grunge roots.It's even more terrible that AiC's new masterpiece got the same rating as this blasphemy of an album (2.5 stars by reviewer; however i can live with this rating for Scream, though it would deserve lower). BGWTB should be rated at least 4.5 stars.

Please somebody give Chris Cornell a good kick on his back by a shovel, or get him a testicle transplant, because obviously his balls have shrinken from too much wanking with Timbaland, and he needs a new pair so that he could start making ballsy music again, maybe even (hopefully) reforming Soundgarden.

This album shows Chris' true talent to excel in any musical medium he puts his heart and soul into. I dont think he sold out. I think he is just getting older and evolving beyond his roots. I think its very well done. I cant wait to see what journey his music will take us on next. This is not a rock album, take off the neck brace and dance! Peace!
