Since Soundgarden's lamented breakup in 1997, grunge stud Chris Cornell has been working with his longtime friends and musical peers in the band Eleven--keyboardist Natasha Shneider and guitarist Alain Johannes. These stellar musicians make Cornell's latest album crisper, more musical, and less rocky than what one came to expect from Soundgarden. The soaring "Follow My Way" is epic in scope, and, in fact, Euphoria Morning is aptly titled; the album is a cohesive mood-invoking musical meditation, especially tracks such as "When I'm Down," which has a near-gospel feel thanks to backing vocals and a spare, uplifting vibe. Fans of Cornell's mellower work with the supergroup Temple of the Dog will enjoy this ardent and mellifluous 12-song collection from one of rock's most recognizable voices. --Katherine Turman

Vocal talent soars.......2007-07-11

I'll admit at the outset, I'm 53 and had not listened much, if any, to Soundgarden. As a matter of fact, I didn't realize who Chris Cornell was, or is. And when I saw this in a used cd store, I gave it a spin on their player, and I was just blown away by Chris's vocal power, passion, and range. He really struck a chord in me, that I bought this and have not been sorry. I find it really enjoyable while on the cardio machines with the headphones on, making it easier to get through my 50 min. of aerobic torture.
Chris has the vocal clout to just grab your attention from the first song, and carry you on his throat to the very last song played. Oh, and he has a great band that plays lights out!!
I would recommend you buy this....NOW!

Absolute vocal perfection........2007-07-02

If my preteen and early teenage years had had a soundtrack, it would, in the main, have comprised the work of Seattle bands. Even before hearing Soundgarden live for the first time (at Lollapalooza '92) I was already firmly convinced of Chris Cornell's status as the world's greatest vocalist. His voice carried the full force of every emotion I'd ever felt but had never been able to express; hours on end of Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog tracks were the only thing that made many of the worst days bearable.

And yet Cornell's performance on this album blows all his other work away.

If such a thing as perfect vocal performance exists, this is it. Cornell's voice carries, and evokes in the listener, a torrent of conflicting emotions in every song, and flows from the low to the high register and from a whisper to an explosion with unmatched fluency and virtuosity.

After listening to this album hundreds, if not thousands, of times, I haven't yet tired of a single track.

Flawless Effort Both Vocally And Musically!.......2007-06-20

After the breakup of Soundgarden in 1997, working alongside his longtime friends in the band called Eleven, Chris Cornell released his solo effort entitled "Euphoria Morning" in September of 1999. "Euphoria Morning," clearly a softer and more melodic album compared to his earlier work with Soundgarden, allows for Chris's voice to reach the pinnacle of his vocal potential. All 12 tracks exude flawlessness both vocally and musically. The only negative is that his superior solo effort, "Sunshower," does not appear on the album. Nevertheless, this album is a "must have" for any rock collection. Below, please find the rating for each song individually:

Can't Change Me - 9/10

Flutter Girl - 8/10

Preaching The End Of The World - 10/10

Follow My Way - 10/10

When I'm Down - 10/10

Mission - 7/10

Wave Goodbye - 8/10

Moonchild - 10/10

Sweet Euphoria - 10/10

Disappearing One - 8/10

Pillow Of Your Bones - 10/10

Steel Rain - 10/10

Mellower Chris.......2007-06-12

This CD is a mellower version of Chris Cornell's previous CD releases. Nothing wrong with that, since this CD is described just as such in the jacket.

I have always loved Chris's voice. He can hit a higher octave like no other!

If you are also a Chris Cornell fan , as I am, then this CD is a must in your CD library. It will round-out your collection of Chris' evolution as a singer.

But if you are looking for a heavier metal Cornell sound, then plz note that this CD is much mellower than Chris' other CDs.

I rate this CD a FIVE-STAR becuase it shows Chris' ability ( & flexibility)as a singer, as compared do his other Cds.

3 goodies.......2007-06-09

love his voice...3 great songs - especially "pillow of your bones"...maybe the rest of the cd will grow on me?

Pay no attention to "The Mook's" rant.......2005-05-17

Please be aware that Japanese import CD's cost what they cost due to currency differences. Because Japanese-manufactured CD's cost more intrinsically, the labels often require 1-2 bonus tracks for inclusion in order to entice Japanese buyers to buy the local version rather than an imported one. This practice has nothing whatsoever to do with bilking foreign fans. The bands usually do not have any say in the matter: either they fork over some bonus material, or the album doesn't get released in Japan. I thought most music fans knew this, and it amazes me that some are so publicly ignorant.

Oh, very good album, by the way.

simply amazing.......2004-02-17

ive already written my review for this masterpiece.this review is for the price of one extra song in of all languages,french.does one song really equal$40?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?when the disc info stated extra tracks,i was looking for extra TRACKS.like an albums worth not just 1.between ultimate dvd versions with deleted scenes and these outrageous imports,labels are trying desparately to squeeze as much greenbacks out of us with as little in return as possible.aside from the price for 1 not multiple,JUST 1 bonus track,this is one of the top 5 best solo efforts ive had the priviledge of hearing.mr cornell,please hurry with the follow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Undeniabley A Solid CD........2002-01-12

It's extermely rare when a cd comes around that meets your expectations and exceeds them. This cd does just that. A cd that breaks all molds and trends and follows a path only given to the artist. Sure the sounds are modern but All-Out Original. No constraints on this album either, Chris flows from one style and genre to the other and often crosses boundries within a given song. If you like music where the theme is surrounded around genuine creativity this is the cd for you! We all know how phenomenal Cornell's voice is, and in the category of delivering he doesn't fall short. If you want a cd that you can play over and over again, and doesn't die after the second spin, this is the cd for you. ENJOY.

Wow! I never realized!!.......2001-01-09

Having always loved Soundgarden, I looked forward to Chris' solo debut! However, it completely amazed even me. The lyrics are profound and beautiful. His voice has never sounded better. A truly amazing album.

Even the black cat sitting on the bed is great!.......2000-11-19

I've just read the review about the album with bonus tracks...I have the standard album already , and i LOVE it so much. And i really would like to hear the other 2 songs though. Tracks number 3-5-9 and 12 are really great... i love the purity and the flexibility of the lyrics.. What I've just written may sound ironic, but if you love lyrics that are NOT straight-forward, and if you already love Cornell, this album will be a great company for you while riding your bike, or driving alone...
