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   Customer Reviews   Daughtry Rocks! Rating: 5 Excellent CD. Well worth the money! He is extremely talented and every song on this CD is enjoyable. I highly recommend it. Jon Bon Jovi Knows It Rating: 5 i was in another room of the house when i first heard daughtry on a.i. i never watch the show, my wife watches it...anyway... it was "blaze of glory" that i was hearing and i thought, "bon jovi is an old guy like me, he can't sing like that anymore, and it sounds different, so good, that it gave me warm chills." had to come out and see for myself...completely amazed that he was not the winner, but i think it was howard stern that proved the show could easily pick the wrong winners. i didn't have to question whether or not he would be successful after... i knew that if i were bon jovi, it would have brought tears to my eyes. :-) sure enough, then i heard "home" on the radio, liked it instantly...was not surprised to find out it was daughtry... shortly after, "over you" playing on several different stations... liked it instantly...not surprised to find out it was daughtry... then another song and then another. i like many different genre of music...i also like nickelback, and i also like fuel...and i don't think they sound like each other, and i don't think he sounds like either of them... of course, some of us are better "listeners" than others... :-) i supose if some of the people that gave this cd bad reviews were alive, like, 200 years ago, they might have said stuff like "beethoven sucks, he's just a deaf guy that sounds like that loser mozart that died without making squat off his music...people only listen to them 'cause they caught the tail end of the classical period...their music will just dissipate and vanish in time." people made fun of bon jovi too... he's been laughing back at 'em all, ever since, as he fills his vaults with gold. music is like this...it is personal preference... but the better it is...the longer it lasts. daughtry doesn't have to last 200 years... he isn't competing with mozart... he's just trying to make him proud. :-). i think this album might do that...it is very good. wake. Love it, love it, love it!!!! Rating: 5 I love this CD. Great songs from beginning to end. Home is by far my favorite song. I've listened to that song alone probably around 60-70 times (!!!) and I still love it!!!! It gives me goosebumps. I also like "Breakdown" and the faster songs like "What I Want" and "There and Back Again." With that song he sounds almost Ozzy like to me! His voice is AMAZING. He's incredibly talented. I almost wish he didn't have the stigma of being on Idol. Yet that's how I discovered him and began to like him. And then one day I heard his first song, "It's Not Over," on the radio and had to buy the CD. I didn't imagine that I would enjoy the entire album as much as I have. It's absolutely amazing. BTW, I'm also a fan of Nickelback and when I played a few of Daughtry's songs for my boyfriend, he thought it was Nickelback!
