| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Chris Daughtry (vocals, guitar); Brian Craddock, Josh Steely (guitar); Phil X (guitars); Aubrey Haynie (fiddle); Howard Benson (keyboards, programming); Jamie Muhoberac (keyboards); Josh Paul (bass instrument); Joey Barnes (drums); Michito Sanchez (percussion). | | Audio Mixer: Chris Lord-Alge. | | Arranger: Debbie Lurie. | | When he was recording his debut album in 2006, Chris Daughtry didn't have the time to assemble the real rock band he so desperately wanted to have, so it appeared under the band name Daughtry without featuring any of the musicians who later became part of the group. That's not the case with LEAVE THIS TOWN, Daughtry's second record: all five members are glowering on the album cover, floating like specters over an abandoned Californian street. The five rockers serve as visual evidence that Daughtry is a band, not a person, and such reminders may be necessary because LEAVE THIS TOWN doesn't differ much in feel or form from DAUGHTRY. Overall, LEAVE THIS TOWN isn't quite as studio slick as DAUGHTRY, which was fueled by Chris Daughtry's desire prove that he belonged in the big leagues; here, he's achieved that goal and he's happy to stay there as long as possible, giving the people what they want in the form of furrow-browed rockers and brooding power ballads, all saved from their self-conscious sobriety by arena-level hooks, hooks that come from Daughtry and a variety of co-writers including Ben Moody and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. Daughtry brings these big hooks down to human scale, injecting warmth into his phrasing. Daughtry the band has no desire to make anything other than good, basic, black-and-white modern rock and they do so efficiently on LEAVE THIS TOWN, a sophomore album that's every bit as satisfying as the first. |

 | Daughtry - Leave This Town - CD Review By: April Pohren - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/26/2009 5:00 PM | | Debuting at Number One on the Billboard 200 chart is no easy feat, yet it has been managed quite nicely by the in-your-face rock of Daughtry, with their sophomore effort, Leave This Town. Selling 269,299 copies within the first week of the album’s release — as well as managing the top spot on the Digital Albums Chart and the Rock Chart — signals a promising future for the band. Indeed, this is a group that dares to be ignored, combining the talents of lead vocalist Chris Daughtry, bassist Josh Paul, guitarists Brian Craddock and Josh Steely and drummer Joey Barnes. Not only do the instrumental talents of the group shine, but also the vocal work of Chris Daughtry is warm, sensual and quite intoxicating....read the full review |

- "Daughtry's relentless competence as a mainstream-rock artist likely serves him far better than any radical departure ever could." -- Grade: BBillboard (p.44)
- "Daughtry's ferocious growl is still the centerpiece of the new songs, but the band has also taken a few creative risks." |
