 Too cookie cutter November 24, 2006
16 out of 33 found this review helpful
The problem with this CD is that there is an overwhelming sameness among the songs. Each is a variation on a theme that has been done ad nauseum by Live, Fuel, and Nickelback. It's bad enough to be derivative and imitative of other bands, but worse to be that within your own CD. If you like the sound, I'd suggest downloading a couple of songs -- my choices would be "Home" and "Over You" -- from iTunes. Just play those two songs six times and you've got the entire CD for just $1.89.
Nickelback? Another One? Why? February 22, 2007

I had great hopes for him when I actually broke down and watched American Idol (when he sang Higher Ground) with my wife because of him and my wife watches it. I am very disappointedd to say he sounds just like Nickelback. I do not like Nickelback either. I thought he had the Audioslave quality to him, but then he comes out with a cd which sounds like a new Nickelback cd. Weak, real weak. Very disappoining.
 A sonic masterpiece, and the best rock album since 1994. November 23, 2006

For the last 12 years I have been searching for an album to compare to LIVE's 1994 release, Throwing Copper. After years of coming up empty in the late 90's (and hearing the garbage bands that studios actually have the balls to not only to give record deals to, but promote and get radio play for), I had all but given up hope. Despite stellar releases since 94 by Pearl Jam, U2, Live, Audioslave, Coldplay, Fuel, Oasis, and Green Day, few compared. Nothing matched the passionate, intense, well-written, powerfull, smooth flowing, every single song quality of Throwing Copper. (BTW, if you dont know Throwing Copper, please go buy a clue.) It was an album that got people who didnt even like rock music, INTO rock. And a record where you did not dare skip a song.
Well my search is over. Chris Daughtry has created an album that takes real music fans back to an era of rock that was both genuine and creative at once. Ironicly, Chris crafted this album in the shadows of Throwing Copper, aided by LIVE singer/songwriter Ed Kowalczyk. DAUGHTRY is both heavy and guitar driven, and yet radio friendly enough to be a smash hit. EVERY SINGLE SONG ROCKS. And how refreshing is that in an time of musical one-hit wonders, records with not ONE song actually written by the "performer", and throw-away discs with one decent song and 12 horrible ones. Chris has made an album that is simply a "Must Have".
As a fan of rock music for a long long time, I never would have believed that a talent show would give us what it just has. So do your ears a favor and treat yourself to one of the best debuts of all time, because Chris Daughtry will be around for a LONG time.
P.S.- to the people giving this album 1 star and saying stuff like "every song sounds the same", you are either A. Tone Deaf or B. someone who also thinks every asian, black, and latino person "all look the same". Go buy a Fall Out Boy or All American Rejects cd, you can use it as a drink coaster next year when no one knows who they are anymore.
More of the same November 28, 2006

This album is terrible. He just can't sing - all he does is scream. One star was too much. Why this guy is getting any kind of fame I'll never know.
Among best Idol CD's to date ... and room to be even better November 23, 2006
14 out of 20 found this review helpful
Chris IS what Constantine and Bo were supposed to be - true AI produced pop-rock stars. The judges and artists all recognized the fact that Chris was clearly polished & in a professional league of his own talent-wise but didn't have enough of a distinguishable sound or the right songs to get a deal on his own. He needed what Idol could deliver, a national platform to allow for necessary exposure and create a loyal following, and ultimately Clive Davis surrounding him with the right people and the best songs in the industry. This is easily the best rock Idol project to date, and arguably one of the best Idol debuts overall and I'd be shocked if it didn't sell 2-3 million records, a feat most would artists would be ecstatic about: #2, #4, #7 and #10 are best cuts on it. My only slight concern, if I don't know it's Chris, I'm trying to decide if this is a new Nickelback, Staind, or Velvet Revolver song (thanks to Slash on "What I Want"). With Chris having a built in fan base that now feel an obligation to buy his record, as Idol has proven, the label was likely being conservative and plan on pushing the envelope more on the next project like they did with Kelly. Interesting, Simon told Elliot Yamin "your perhaps the best male vocalist we've had in American Idol" ... think he meant Chris, who should rival Kelly as the most successful Idol ever, no small feat.
