I semi-agree.

As far as songwriting, Chris Cornell obviously owns. As far as vocals...I don't know. I am literally in love with Chris Cornell, but when Chris sings slower songs (like the majority of Audioslave stuff), his voice gets really drone-y and monotonous and I feel like punching him to make him shut up. He always hits the notes, but he only really sounds good when he's shouting. Zack's voice always sounds cool, because it's so full of rage (presumably against the machine).

And as far as the music of the Morello-Commerford-Wilk trio, I think Rage brought out the best. I like Audioslave a lot too, but Rage was just so much groovier. Audioslave seems kinda dull at times.
