Chris Cornell tried to explain the poor critical reception of his recent album Scream, produced by Timbaland. The record was slammed by Cornell’s fans and some other musicians – for example, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, who said that Cornell «embarrassed himself».
Cornell said: «Older American fans don't like it because they are typically my core fans that really supported me in Soundgarden and really loved that band. To them that's kind of who I am, I'm that guy in that band, and I'm that guy who wrote those songs».
Ex-Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman also compared his new record with Pink Floyd's album The Wall. «Timbaland can do anything. People thought it was going to be Timbaland beats with a bunch of fuzzy rock guitars and me singing over it. I don't think they expected us to go so far into the direction we have», said singer.
