Binding: Audio CDBrand: DAUGHTRY EAN: 0828768886021 Label: RCA Manufacturer: RCA MPN: 828768886021 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: RCA Release Date: November 21, 2006 Studio: RCA Editorial Review: Product Description: \N Amazon.com: Chris Daughtry starts his first post-American Idol disc with a song whose title reviewers coast to coast will be grateful for: "It's Not Over." What an understatement. For the Idol-watching rock fan's money, nobody--not even Southern-fried heartthrob Bo Bice in season four--stormed the stage with more raw talent. That it translates so well to a solo disc (Daughtry was recorded with studio musicians; future discs will include a Daughtry-assembled band) proves all he needed was a little prodding, the kind the tube has gotten so good at. Here are a dozen songs that'll flick your rock & roll switch, whether you're a Creed fan, a club kid, or a mambo king: "Used To" and "Over You," a couple of early tracks, ought to arrive bundled with a road map they're so highway sing-along-ready, and "Feels Like Tonight" screws the lid on the premise that Daughtry can deliver a punchy pop-rock song without flinching. Elsewhere, the North Carolina family man lets his inner (and outer, actually) goatee- and eyeliner-type guy rip: his built-for-the-hard-stuff voice bites down appealingly on "Breakdown," a dark serenade to mental health, and also on "What I Want," an '80s-style fist-pumper featuring Slash. The loud mad dash of those songs leads to a midtempo wind-down ("All These Lives," "What About Now"), but as a mix, it works. Daughtry is a man of many moods--contemplative, explosive, insistent, humble. No matter which pokes through on a given song, he steadies it to a place as honest as it is accessible. Rare is the rocker who lays out so broad an on-ramp. --Tammy La Gorce Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Every song is a winner!I've been wanting to get this CD for so long and I finally got it! I love every song-it's got such a great beat to the whole album. His voice is amazing! Rating:  - This band should evolve to extraordinary...but not quite there yet.If one were to rate this band solely on vocals and musicality without question they would earn five stars. But there are other factors that mark a success in the music industry. One of the primary factors of importance for this reviewer is something that can be termed "believablity"...does the vocalist convey the feeling of the lyric? Another factor, primarily for the visual performance, but to some degree also for the audio, is the ability to engross the audience. Those who are highly successful ...

Well, I admit that I am slightly surprised that while the style doesn't really appeal to me, its not the pure garbage I expected. Plainly put, if you liked the corporate-style of arena rock prevalent on the airwaves in the eighties, you will like this. Its actually better than many ...

This album has feeling. You can feel those classic rock influences. His voice is so powerful, that it rings through your head after you're done playing the record. This was one of my best purchases ever. Rating:  - MUSIC!Daughtry is a great band with great music. I am not really a remember band names kind of person, so I had heard several of the songs on this CD without knowing who sang them. I looked one up to get the lyrics and realised that I had heard their name before. Bought it ... Love it. |
