Free Music Notes for Daughtry
Free Music Review: This band should evolve to extraordinary...but not quite there yet.
Hit: 3 Stars
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 (legends like Sinatra, Garland, Elvis, even Garth Brooks) had or have all of these elements, each combined with his or her singular strength (vocal charisma, showmanship, sexuality, exceptional performance ability). There is no question in this reviewer's mind that Daughtry has all the elements to make them a large and lasting success. They just need to hone some of them, and put their own unique stamp on it.
The latter is what this offering lacks. Not to advocate distinctiveness that becomes monotony, of course. But most of the songs on Daughtry have that polished commercial sound that could be...anyone. "Crashed" sounds like something by Default. "Breakdown" sounds a little like the Ginblossoms. "It's Not Over" could be Nickelback on an exceptionally good day. "All These Lives" could be any of the slickly-packaged Top 40 Country studs in current popularity.
Anyway, you get the point. Is this CD a good listen? You bet. Is it stand-alone memorable? Not quite. It's when Daughtry comes out of the box that the songs stand out, like "What I Want" and "There and Back Again". And you sit back in amazement and say "Wow!"
Anxiously awaiting the next "Wow!" from Daughtry!!
Free Music Review: Eighties-Style Party Rock
Hit: 3 Stars
Since I can't stand even two minutes of American Idol and the musical fecal matter the show generally promotes, I would never have heard of Daughtry if the wife of a friend had not lent it to me and urged me to listen. 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 of the popular acts who played in that style then.
When I listened to Daughtry several times, I didn't hear anything memorable but neither did I hear anything that made me want to smash my sound system. Since this CD is bursting with youthful bombast, this would be great as background music at an outdoor party where the majority of the guests are under thirty and a high-energy groove is imperative.
If you are an Idol-ater, you probably have an opinion about this CD coming in. I'm not going to buy this myself, but if you haven't heard this and are a fan of the type of music I described, by all means go for it.
Free Music Review: Blew me out of the water
Hit: 5 Stars
Jeez, when I heard that Chris Daughtry released an album, I was a little perplexed. I thought it would've been average, but I was 100% wrong! 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.Free Music Review: MUSIC!
Hit: 4 Stars
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.Free Music Review: Eat This, American Idol
Hit: 5 Stars
Really, living well IS the best revenge! Daughtry gets kicked off of American Idol and then cuts an album that is easily one of the best I've heard in a good, long while. Rocker man, you done yourself proud! Some more critical types might say that "Daughtry" is standard big ballad and heartbreak anthem fare, but I say the lyrics are original, the delivery is fresh and varies between songs, and it's stuff you want to play (loudly) again and again and sing along with. No harm in that. It's a low pretense, kick a** disc that easily goes into your standard rotation with an instant addiction factor. Fantastic.
