Concert pics: Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell

Few musical transformations have been as radical as former Soundgarden and Audioslave singer Chris Cornell's metamorphosis into unlikely hip-hop/pop star. The man once known for his dark lyrics, darker music and deep, somber growl has re-invented himself with "Scream," his new album produced entirely by Timbaland and filled with hooks that would make Nelly Furtado proud. New sonic direction or cheap gimmick for commercial success? You decide.
