Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

If you’ve been keeping up to date with Chris Cornell’s third solo Scream, then you know that this album is starting to get a little like Chinese Democracy.

OK, it’s not as bad as Axl making fans wait for over a decade, but Scream was supposed to come out on October 14, 2008. Then it received a November 4 release date, which was changed due to Election Day. After realizing that this album wasn’t going to be released in 2008, the new release date was then moved to February 3. Although, I’m a little nervous when I notice that album is listed as March 10, on most notably Best Buy. However, most sites have gone back to the February 3 date, although Amazon states that “a release date as not yet been set for this title”.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the February 3 date. All these delays make me wanna scream at the top of my head!

Here’s a brief timeline on the year long journey of Scream.
