Album Review: Chris Cornell - Higher Truth

With 2009's Scream now thankfully a distant memory, Chris Cornell has made a distinctly organic return in Higher Truth. 

Drawing inspiration from his recent acoustic tours, Higher Truth pulls back to a simplistic nature and shifts the focus onto Cornell's biggest strength in songwriting. While there are still some tracks, such as album opener Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart and Our Time In The Universe, that go heavy into production with a disjointed result, Josephine, Dead Wishes and Circling uphold the alt-folk basis of the record much to the listening pleasure of Soundgarden and Cornell fans alike.
