Hip-hop and R+B superstar TIMBALAND is set to take former SOUNDGARDEN and AUDIOSLAVE's CHRIS CORNELL to the clubs after secretly collaborating with the rocker on his third solo album. After working with Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado and a host of other big names, Timbaland calls his work with Cornell "the best work I've done in my career". And Cornell admits working with the hitmaker was a lot of fun. He says, "This is different from anything I've ever done. I've come from an indie rock world, where, if you have a producer, it's somebody who's not a musician, not a songwriter. "He's just someone who twists knobs and can kinda tell you if they think a song is too long or too short or needs to be more aggressive." The rocker adds, "It was as if we were in a band." Cornell calls the new album, which hasn't got a release date at present, "a highlight of my career". Timbaland adds, "This will be everybody's favourite album of this year."

great, there will be reverb all over it

good grief - from this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO18jd0bqvM

to timbaland

I'll listen to it, but my expectations are scraping the bottom of the barrel. I hope Cornell has the common sense not to let Timbaland rap on his record.

If they say it's going to be the album of the year, it pretty much guarantees it will suck. If it's that great, the music can speak for itself without all the hype.

If anyone thinks for a second that Timbaland is draggin cornell down and not the other way around, they're just plain delusional

Timbaland is a solid producer, but his trademark is his use of reverb and I am not exactly a fan of that studio tool

are Timbaland and Timberland two different folks?

Will everyone please admit that Cornell has lost all credibility and just act like the guy doesn't exist? Please?

how do you feel about my morning jacket

strongly indifferent

let's be friends

deal

cornell's career has become comedic. best of luck to them, but i had a good chuckle at this.

how you doin' in the hockey pool?

he's working with quincy jones next

almost a consolation bracket champ

i'd personally rather see cornell do a motown style record then a hip hop record. carry on kinda sucked but i was willing to give the guy some respect because of his great past, this timbaland thing is just hitting rock bottom.

Come on guys. He's just keeping up with the modern world! See?

This is bad news.
