Chris Daughtry starts his first post-American Idol disc with a song whose title reviewers coast to coast will be grateful for: "It's Not Over." 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

 Daughtry CD August 18, 2008

After continually hearing Daughtry on the radio at work, and liking the songs that I heard, I decided to purchase the CD. VERY wise choice on my part. The CD is great! It's been in my CD player since it arrived about a month ago, and it won't be coming out anytime soon.

I love all of his songs, but I can hear What About Now over and over again. This is definitely one I keep in my CD player so I can listen to it whenever I want, which is often.

This entire CD rocks. The song writing is exceptional and it has a great variety of music with a rock base.

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.
