Ok first of all, if you think it is better than Soundgarden, go buy a Soundgarden album. Good lord
Second, better than rage, same thing. Seriously.
It's pretty average. Its ok though. It doesn't strike me too much, because it's pretty recycled stuff in my opinion. But if you like it more power to you.
Plus, Chris Cornell's solo album was so great. One of my favorite albums of all time probably. It's not screaming like normal soundgarden, but damn its good stuff.
