Summary: an excellent rock album
Comment: Like all musical genres, rock has become somewhat tired and originality is often hard to find. At most, an artist sounds like a dozen other artists, and the songs on the album tend to sound alike, with perhaps one song different enough to be released as a single and then overplayed on the radio. Daughtry's album is a step above the rest, because despite a characteristic "rock voice," there is enough musical and lyrical variation on the album to keep you interested, and somehow even the 7 singles from the album are hard to overplay.
I heard Daughtry's "It's Not Over" on the 2008 Grammy nominees album, and was impressed by the soaring yet raw power of his voice, backed by heavy percussion and emotional lyrics. After hearing all of "Daughtry," from the softer pop sounds of "Home" to the jangly, riff-heavy "There and Back Again," I was left disappointed...that the album was over. An impressive debut effort, and one worth listening to for anyone who likes rock.

Summary: Son of a Daughtry
Comment: You know I wasn't a big fan when he was on AI--but he has come into his own. This album is very good and I think appeals to all. Good job--now keep it up. Al

Summary: Amazing
Comment: This is an amazing album for a new artist. I'm a fan of American Idol but I wasn't a fan of his other than one or two performances. There isn't one song on this CD that i don't like. And i can understan each word he sings.. which is an accomplishment now-a-days. Am looking forward to his next CD and expect he will have grown further as an artist.

Summary: One of the Best CD's I've bought in a long time!!
Comment: I am a big music lover and have a huge CD/ipod collection...and Daughtry is one of the best CD's I've bought in a long time. Dare I say it's as good as some of my favorite early Bon Jovi CDs? Yes, I do!!
I know some people have a hard time getting past the American Idol thing....but just do it. Daughtry is not another AI, he's a gifted and talented singer/performer. This CD is irrefutable proof. It's a good mix of rock songs- some soft, some harder, some more like ballads. But mainly, I see it as a solid rock CD. One unlike any I've heard as of recent years. I don't think there's a song on this CD that I *don't* like, but here is a list of some of my favorites: Not Over, Used To, Home, Over You, Feels Like Tonight, Breakdown, All These Lives and What About Now.
To sum this up...I can't wait for his next CD. I have a feeling that this is one band that I will be enjoying for a long time to come. I guess being voted off, paid off.
