I too thought he was making an obvious reach for street cred by throwing in some typical hip-hop style likes: "That bitch ain't a part of me," etc. I disagree that his writing has gotten formulaic, but everyone has his/her own opinion.

He's written fun, throwaway lyrics before, in any case, like "Kickstand".<br /><br />There's plenty more on newest album "Scream" that touches the profound - for example "Enemy", or "clarefromscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08228977931023830556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11959251.post-91497902240837005392009-08-06T08:00:52.754-07:002009-08-06T08:00:52.754-07:00I'm not sure where this blog is coming from, m...I'm not sure where this blog is coming from, most people who have gotten into Chris Cornell have realized what a great songwriter he is. Even his peers like Eddie Vedder, Kim Thayil, Jeff Ament and Alice Cooper can say that about him. I don't think they are vaunted rock critics.His songwriting skill has always been recognized by most rock critics and he is well known as a "songwriterTheRealMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447205706781821457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11959251.post-6639845512791316522009-08-05T16:01:59.506-07:002009-08-05T16:01:59.506-07:00Chris cornells lyrics are great

Good stuff. And warriorwoman, I quite agree with you as well and you put it very well - everyone can take something personal away from his songs, since in so many cases, his metaphors can be interpreted as referring to a woman, to God, to himself and his own demons, and so on.

When you figure out what they mean, you become impressed by the clever way he has of painting a picture with words.<br /><br />Then, you make the mistake of thinking you are the only person who "gets" what Cornell is saying.

His lyric-writing seldom disappoints and even when he's just having fun, there's always something witty in there which gives a song a special twist.
