| As one of the finalists on the fifth season of the AMERICAN IDOL reality-TV show, North Carolina-based neo-grunge vocalist Chris Daughtry garnered even more attention by getting asked to be the frontman for the group Fuel, and then, surprisingly, declining the offer. This 2006 album, technically credited to the band Daughtry, reveals what the singer opted for instead, offering up impressively catchy, yet requisitely brooding, heavy rock, as best revealed on the emotive "It's Not Over" and the urgent "What I Want," which features former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash,.

| | Artist Overview | | Daughtry is the rock band fronted by singer-songwriter Chris Daughtry. The eponymous frontman is one in a series of artists who, while not victorious on the popular television show AMERICAN IDOL, were given tremendous career boosts thanks to their appearances there (however brief). Daughtry finished fifth overall in 2006, and started his band immediately after elimination. His brand of heartfelt angst-tinged rock proved enormously successful, a testament as much to the power of AMERICAN IDOL as to the talent of Daughtry himself. |

- "[T]he man certainly has an impressive set of pipes..." Rolling Stone 4 of 10
The debut from former American Idol semifinalist Chris Daughtry makes one thing clear: Homeboy loves to rock. Unfortunately, Daughtry shares a weakness for emotional overspill with his fellow Idol alums. He wields his gruff, hair-flailing voice like a spandex-clad star on mammoth arena fare like "There and Back Again" and sleazy near-metal songs such as "What I Want," a rave-up featuring Slash on guitar. But Daughtry gives in to bombast on a series of giant, aching near-ballads, including "Over You" and "Gone," a dark, Nickelback-worthy cut that includes lines like "The day you turned on me is the day I died." Daughtry gets points for not courting soccer moms, but just because he can howl like a motherf***er doesn't mean he's not a cheeseball. - Christian Hoard

5 of 5 Daughtry's Freshman Release Friday, September 28, 2007
Carol from Hospers, IA
Chris Daughtry's album is so much bigger and better than any of his performances on American Idol. The tunes and lyrics are well thought out, and very heart wrenching at times. I never get tired of listening to this CD. I hope his next effort is as good! Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 WOW! Surprisingly great! Saturday, December 02, 2006
Steph from Temecula, CA
Sounds a little like Fuel and Nickelback. I am surprised at how much I like this CD! ALL the songs are catchy and the lyrics are good--his voice is wonderful. I brought the CD to work and 5 girls in my office ran out and bought it because they loved it. Great job Daughtry! I think he'll have quite a few hits off this cd. Was this review helpful?
