Reasonable, but the debut is much stronger August 17, 2010 Doctor CD 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Chris Daughtry is now feeling the other side of the double-edge sword of having a phenomenally successful debut album. The former American Idol contestant was subject to one of the biggest injustices in the history of the show by being voted off far too early in the competition several years ago. Perhaps a blessing in disguise, he went on to make one of the biggest selling records in recent times, gracing radio with plenty of melodic hard rock goodness. He is his own hard act to follow.
To help with the sophomore effort, Daughtry has enlisted the songwriting talents of Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, Brian Howes, Mitch Allen, and more. The disc begins with the in your face guitars and the soaring, badass vocals we all expect from Daughtry. After this fierce reminder that he is still a force to be reckoned with, he glides right into the more radio-friendly "No Surprise", following this up with three more pop-based rockers, "Everytime You Turn Around" (a personal favorite), "Life After You", and "What I Meant To Say". After this, the songs are OK, rarely leaving the ballad or mid-tempo pace, and not matching the quality we've heard on the debut. The latter half of the CD is very ballad heavy and grows tiresome, not helped by duds like the country-flavored "Tennessee Line".
Another complaint is that the record seems to be on a mission to impress with the guitars and bombastic production rather than the voice. Daughtry has an amazing voice, but it is a shame to hear it take so few chances and to persistently get buried in the excessively loud guitars. Lyrically, we're also on ho-hum ground: unimaginative and straight-forward, but at least not silly.
The record is solid, but Daughtry is just running in place. In short, the title of the first single pretty much sums up the record as a whole: no surprise. I hope he comes back with a vengenace on the third release to give us the record we know he has the potential to deliver.
Best tracks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8

Where's the Vince video?? Tennesse Line July 8, 2010 Ryboman (Fort Lauderdale) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think I can safely say that I have listened to Tennesse Line over 1,000 times. My mind is trained to pick up Vince Gill in there. I saw them do it live on one of the award shows and I have to admit I cried my eyes out when I saw Vince just humbly contibuting his greatness. People my age (60) will understand this. I had this on my DVR for a long time but Murphy's Law showed up and I lost it. Where can I get a copy of this video?
'The bald one' strikes back!! July 7, 2010 Da Peace Dogg (Hollywood) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After a somewhat lackluster debut outing, Daughtry, aka "The bald one," strikes back with a fiesty sophomore release. Hold the phones on this one, cuz Daughtry takes no prisoners on these magnetic, growling tunz. The hitz just keep on comin' on "Leave dis Town," which means I can't wait to hear Daughtry belt out a Santana tune written by Def Leppard on a coming Motley Crue CD -- should be fun!!!!
In the meantime, with Halen reunited with Roth, what's in store for Scott Weiland and Velvet Revolver? Any news?!?!?!?!
Thanks for your support, by the way.
Awesome Album from beginning to end July 4, 2010 Kate 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The sophomore album by DAUGHTRY titled "Leave This Town" is one of the best albums ever!! Every song on this album is a winner!!! These guys know how to put together a wonderful string of hit songs ... and the passion that Chris sings with is so dynamic! From the rock song "You Don't Belong" to the country hit "Tennessee Line" and the fantastic ballad "September" ... every song has great songwriting ability showing through. I have listened to this album over and over and over again! Definitely a must buy album!
