How important is winning American Idol? Ask Chris Daughtry, the 4th place finisher on the fifth season of the popular reality show contest, and the answer is 'not very.' Following his (often considered shocking) 4th place finish on the show, Chris formed a band under his last name (ala Bon Jovi), and put out what has to be one of the most perfect pieces of pop rock along with Nickelback's "All the Right Reasons" in years. Now those who detest this type of music may as well leave the shrieks of blasphemy to themselves. As an avid fan and owner of every Alice in Chains and Nirvana album, I am in no way ashamed or embarrassed to admit my liking for the radio friendly side of rock as well. If I want introspective and alternative rock, I'll pop in In Utero, but sometimes I just want music that's catchy and mainstream, and in that case you'd be hard pressed to find a more suitable choice than Daughtry's eponymous debut.
With nearly every song sounding like a hit single, it's no wonder the album is pushing at the 4 million mark in sales in such a dead time for the physical album market. The song's tend to be more pop orientated, but heavy hitters like "What I Want" featuring Slash, and "There and Back Again" (which contains one awesome riff) would be easily at home on any rock station. But, as I said the album focuses mostly on the pop rock sound, recent bands like 3 Doors Down and Nickelback have made so popular. The best example of this is the mega hit first single "It's Not Over", which has to be the biggest rock and pop crossover hit since Nickelback's "How You Remind Me." The song is a perfect summation of the type of music Daughtry does so well. Second single "Home" is also a excellent example of what a power ballad is all about, and was nearly inescapable on pop and AC stations throughout 2007. Third single "Over You" is a fast paced poppy sing a long that is very addictive, and my personal favorite from the album since the first time I heard it. Those three songs alone would be reason enough to recommend the album to fans of this kind of music, but the thing is nearly every other song is great as well. The melodic "What About Now" gives "Home" a run for its money as power ballad of the album, and "Breakdown" sounds like a coffeehouse song with a bit of an edge. Even the lyrical content of the songs are very solid, from the interesting topic of kidnapping in "All These Lives", to the vehicular to relationship metaphors of "Crashed." Even more impressive is that Chris had a hand in penning every song on the album, with the exception of "What About Now" and fourth single "Feels Like Tonight."
All in all, "Daughtry" is possibly the most impressive album form an Idol to date, in that it has appeal to a very broad group, and it accomplishes exactly what it wants to. 5/5 stars
My Top 5:
1. Over You
2. It's Not Over
3. There and Back Again
4. Home
5. What About Now

i didnt but this at first cause i didnt want to buy it full price only having heard a couple of songs, but i finally broke down and bought it. what a good choice, cause this cd is real good. hes the only person from american idol that i actually like, and if you like any of his songs this cd is great, even though they sound alot alike. my favorites are its not over, over you, and crashed but the rest are good. reminds me of nickelback but i think this beats nickelback. looking forward to a future cd from daughtry. great job Free Music Review: Awesome album

I love Chris Daughtry's voice. I didn't even know he was on American Idol before I purchased this album. I love that the words are in the liner notes. He's got a lot of emotion in his singing. His band is great too.Free Music Review: Great CD!
