I don't know what they were thinking with the early preview, because it made them sound much more like AC/DC than Soundgarden. I'm not sure what anyone was expecting the new album to sound like, but I can say that I was pleasantly suprised.
I can't say yet whether or not it will be even as good as Down on the Upside, but it does feel a lot like it picks up where that album left off; which is still better than any of the Cornell solo albums or Audioslave. Cornell also doesn't have his "old" range any longer, but he sounds a hell of a lot better than he did with Audioslave.
