@MFBueno63 and for the record, Cornell can sing above b4 with his chest voice (most apparent in Audioslave (though notes above B4 are rare in Audioslave era, there still are a few of them), but he sounds very raspy. AND, Paul McCartney is a tenor, and he has a full A1 :)
I wish he had worked with Eleven again before Natasha died. Big loss! This was a magical collaboration. Whole damn album is stunning. Never get tired of it.
@MFBueno63 But he CAN sing a B4, right? Doesn't that count him in as a tenor? Or is someone range based on what they can sing in their normal/chest voice?
@omegalen Cornell can sing a full G5, that DOES NOT make him a tenor. A voice type depends on the 'comfortable zone', the ease of singing high/low. Cornell is a pretty dark baritone (dark, but not particularly low), but he very commonly gets mistaken by a tenor because of his high note, switching (from full voice to falsetto) and chest and falsetto voice mixing techniques. Listen to beyond the wheel or head injury to hear how dark he sounds
@Lawldudz He sings Beyond The Wheel in head voice, and practically every Soundgarden song. Sometimes he uses a subtle switch to falsetto, but that's not very common. But yeah i get it, his a baritone.
Actually, how high someone sings is not what makes them a tenor (lots of baritones can sing high notes). It's more the ease in which they produce the notes and the lack of low range. Chris Cornell is a baritone because, although he can sing high, he can also sing very low -- which a tenor cannot. A baritone sax can play many of the same high notes as a tenor sax, but a tenor sax cannot play as low as a bari. A person is not a tenor if they can sing below a tenor's range.
Cornell uses major, minor, dissonant, and suspended chords in progressions that are compelling but emotionally ambivalent - New Wave was like this at times, mixed feelings being evoked - CC is unique, actually, especially with his powerful anguished tenor voice
I have loved this since it came out. This is one of those albums where you seek a little refuge sometimes, just like Temple was in it's own rite (and for it's time)
I'd very much like to know who thought the studio treatment of this album through. I mean: who turned a couple of acustic ballads into these rich musical tracks??? All those harmonies, the set of instrument which is perfect for each lyric, the ambiences. Damn good stuff!
which of chris's solo albums is the best? This? I love love love his voice so much, but I just can't get into the heavier rock ones in Soundgarden and Audioslave. I prefer his more mellow songs, and seems like this album has them.
@toddlikeschirscornel my comment was posted 2 months ago..guess what I love Soundgarden now haha, just needed a few listen. Thanks for the suggestion though! I haven't listened to that song.
@MissusFingerBottom thats awesome! i'm glad you love them now. i can now sleep easy, some people preach the word of the bible, but i teach the word of Soundgarden.
this album did blow me away, this song writing quality which i normally don't expect nowadays was fantastic. reminds me on one of my all time favorite albums of the beatles "the white album" in song writing quality, superb! Almost each song is a perl.
i totally agree. this album is also one of my personal favourites, but i think my favourite "cornell album" is temple of the dog. :) or down on the upside...
Why didn't he make a record like this, although i haven't heard the Scream album yet, I've heard alot of negative comments, but one of my all time fave vocalist!!
Cornell writes so well, with such catchy yet somber melodies

@omegalen head voice=/=mixed voice (which is what Cornell does)
by Beyond the Wheel I mean the intro, where he comfortably sings D2s and a fry G#1.
Lawldudz in reply to omegalen (Show the comment) 5 months ago
@MFBueno63 He is a Heldentenor, a tenor that can hit the baritone range, google it.

@dbaw010783 I don't think that Chris was a junkie. He had an eating disorder and was an alcoholic back in Soundgarden days.
