I was never a fan of "American Idol" or did not watch even one season. However, this guy, Chris Daughtry really interested me, because I read him in one magazine. It was not a regular music magazine or some kind of gossip magazine. It was a magazine called "Burrn", my favorite music magazine. It is not just a regular music magazine. It is specialized in hard rock and heavy metal music. This guys was the first "American Idol" participant was in that magazine.
It really interested me and made me find him on YouTube. I found a video of track 1, the lead single from this album. It was a good American song but also had emotional moving melody and vocal. Soon after I heard his voice, I knew this guy was not just an "idol" but a real singer. His voice is really strong but sometimes really sensitive and emotional. He has a wide range of voice and can keep strength in any range. This album is full of good rock songs and ballads. The melody is very catchy and has good hook. 7 singles were released from this album. Track 2 and 4 is catchy rock songs. Track 3 is a heartfelt ballad. Track 5 has feeling from 90's grunge to some modern alternative rock. Track 6 a beautiful chorus. The song that features Slash, track 7, is the heaviest number out of all. His voice stands out in a heavy number as well. Track 12 is very emotional and dramatic. There are other good rock songs, heavy tunes, and ballads as well.
He would not appeal to heavy metal fans. Maybe, he would not typical old-school hard rock fans. I would not say this is my favorite kind of music. I am more towards British/European rock and metal fans (probably you can tell, if you check my other reviews). But, I can say that this album will appeal to wide range of music fans. In fact, it did. If you are not a hardcore hardheaded hard rock fan, please try to check this guy out. This record is a high quality album, and I would like to keep checking this band out!
