Having downloaded Daughtry’s new album, I expected to hear originality. Fresh songs. But I was let down. He didn’t divagate from the commercial sounding elements. He was not adventurous. Pity, a great voice, thwarted by a mediocre album.
After listening to it for the third time, I began to find his songs are OKAY. But still, nothing phenomenal. Even SLASH (my favorite lead guitarist after Richie Sambora of course!) couldn’t save this album from becoming a dud.
Spare your boodles (unless you have the hots for this bloke) and hope that he returns with a more refined album the next time around.
The first single, “It’s Not Over” is simply too cliched. Ho hum stuff. “Feels Like Tonight” sounds like a song you’ve heard before. “Home” is not too bad. Slash-powered “What I Want” doesn’t have a catchy chorus, just some kickass guitar playing by Slash. 5/10
Daughtry – Home
Well I’m going home, back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I’m not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong,
I don’t regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces I can’t ignore
So I’m going home. Well I’m going home.

endroo G was here 1st !
January 4th, 2007 at 5:11am
I haven’t heard the album.. but I still think he’s damn hawt & sexy.. *drool*
January 4th, 2007 at 7:09am
I’d have thought his album would be a success too..
January 4th, 2007 at 10:15am
Ahh Chris…the HOT bald guy from American Idol.
January 4th, 2007 at 12:16pm
CD is bland, soulless and entirely lacking in charisma. Pity, tho… he does have a good voice (not the best in the business, but good nonetheless).
January 4th, 2007 at 1:22pm
endroo G Congrats!
Jemima He’s got a great voice, but don’t bother with this album.
Sha Well, he should’ve taken some risks.
Che-Cheh Indeed, Mr Baldy.
Keropok My thoughts exactly.
January 4th, 2007 at 3:41pm
Eww. Just eww. Never took a liking to this guy cause he takes himself too seriously. And not that impressed with his vocals either. But I’m sure that’s just me.
January 4th, 2007 at 3:47pm
what i think of him :

hope no one gets offended though
January 4th, 2007 at 4:13pm
I thought the song was quite ok… anyway, I hoped he had won the American Idol… but looks like he’s doing pretty good now…
January 4th, 2007 at 5:47pm
honestly I thought the dude was quite crap. But hey, I think John Mayer is cool. You can shoot me.
January 5th, 2007 at 12:07am
Izad LOL. Nice one! Well, I think he’s got great vocals – he just needs to find a right manager/producer/songwriter.
Joash I’m not sure whether he’s doing pretty good. Female fans are swooning over this bloke, but soon, he will be forgotten.
Lex John Mayer the spastic is the epitome of crap. What’s wrong with ya? LOL.
January 5th, 2007 at 10:36am
Hey, I think John Mayer rocks!!
January 5th, 2007 at 9:28pm
what a pity, because i thought his covers on american idol were pretty good. oh well, looks like he going the same direction bo bice did. how disappointing.
January 7th, 2007 at 12:07am
Joash Sorry to hear that.
philters Let’s hope he comes back stronger…
January 13th, 2007 at 5:17am
The CD is great and so are his vocals. I don’t have a clue what you negative people are talking about. Doesn’t hurt that he is super sexy as well !
