Daughtry

[edgeofthorns]

Okay, this thread may get me kicked off the forum, but I have to ask. Is anyone a fan of this guy like I am? I can't help myself, but I really think Chris is talented. I truly enjoy hearing him sing, so I'm looking forward to picking up his debut. Has anyone else bought it yet?

I had no idea Daughtry existed until the other day when I was working with Tuesday's new releases and stumbled across the album. With a sticker on the cover saying "This year's long awaited album!" I figured it would sell well and put it up as a new release spotlight. And since then (as most things) I have seen the album and picture EVERYWHERE! Can't much help you with an opinion considering I still haven't heard it, but Daughtry is surely making rounds in the music world for sure. What does this sound like?

It's Chris Daughtry's band, one of the last contestants in last year's American Idol. The music is mainstream for sure, but it's well done in my opinion. It's very catchy and melodic.

Havent heard it yet but I like that he chose to stick to his guns instead of selling out and joining Fuel, maybe it will turn out to be the better choice for him down the road.

I'm curious about this as well. I think he has a unique voice and he likes to rock out. All I have heard is the Bon Jovi cover so far.

EDIT: they have sound samples at www.daughtryofficial.com

EDIT2: It actually sounds pretty good! I'll probably pick this up.

So faaaaaaaaaar away....


I don't remember who sang that song but this guy sounds just like him.

I like the Got Ink? link at the bottom. Adds real credibility.

Sorry but to me his album sounds like every other new metal band out there. Nothing really original about it that catches my ears.

 

[MetalAges]

Personally I'm not viewing it as a metal album, just a good harder rocking album. Mainstream? Yeah, but that's ok sometimes.

Really like the sound of his voice, but with that said ....it is a very monotone type vocal with little diversity...after a song or two his vocal style coupled with the homogonous music will kinda bore me to slow death. Best comparison...the Hootie album (way back when), a great radio listening song, a great voice with little diversity....and absolutley no way to make it through the album....impossible (sadly I tried).

As much as I liked Chris on "Idol", this was an album that I should have seen coming: An easy-going, middle-of-the-road, take no chances effort that really falls flat on it's face. Sorry, but Chris' Absent Element stuff was light years better than this shlock.

Peace,
Ray C.

This album sold over 300,000 copies in the first week.

By comparison, the Rockstar Supernova album sold a little over 15,000.

I doubt that 15,000 people were watching the show by the finale!

Chris just came in with 304,000 CD's sold in the first week. The link to the full story: Foxes on Idol & More – American Idol – Rock Star – Canadian Idol –America’s Got Talent – Simon Cowell
