I wouldn't go as far as to call it bad, but the music sounds like most everything else you hear over and over on the radio. Only a couple of the songs even approach rock. Pop radio fodder. Pretty unexiting really. I thought Chris was OK when he was on American Idol. My mom(huge Daughtry fan) gave the CD to my son recently. I had never really listened to the songs until then.
I don't like many artists like daughtry much less like the music they sing....but this is a wonderfull album not a weak song in it...''Feels Like Tonight'' and ''Home'' are two of the best singles this year by any artist it deserves more than 3 stars an it is exceptional for a debut album
All songs have a story, all lyrics are clean, all songs have a great arrangement and Chris Daughtry wrote or helped write 10 of 12 songs all while touring for American Idol, quite a feat. I saw Daughtry in concert in SF and they really are a rock band, so this will be where they are the most confortable. My 13 year old son also loves this CD.
