DAUGHTRY - Leave This Town (2009)

Number one in the Billboard's 200 chart. This is the band's second album and yes despite the lead singer is Chris Daughtry of the American Idol fame, this is a five piece rock band with the name Daughtry. When I first started to feast my ears to the album, it was with the song "Ghost Of Me". Catchy and poppish hook, angry but listenable and it showcased Daughtry's powerful vocals touching the high notes with out any problem. Definitely a friend to the radios. "Open Up Your Eyes" and "Traffic Light" started with a clean guitar riffing before bursting into a catchy and strong chorus.

All I can say is that if you like good and solid rock album with poppish hooks then this album is for you. All 19 tracks were meant to showcase Daughtry's powerful vocals. If you are looking for a guitar hero type rock like those bands we used to have from the good ol' 80's, this album is not for you. Makes me wonder, is this a real rock band or just Chris Daughtry and his back up band?

GREEN DAY - American Idiot (2004) The only reason why am I putting this 2004 album is because it was so hard for me to get this album on the net when I finally decided that it was the time for me to try and give this album a proper listening. Green Day had just released their 2009 album titled 21st Century Breakdown a couple of months ago by the way and I think I shall wait for another couple more years before I give that one a try. After wimping out with a couple of "mature" albums, it was a relief to see this most popular punk rock band on the planet doing the hard political stuff again. Although Wake Me Up When September Ends was the typical ballad following the Good Riddance (time of your life) formula and I have to admit that the song was a very good, radio friendly and listenable song. One thing for sure, without Green Day and Offspring, MTV pop punk bands in the likes of Good Charlotte, Sum 41 and Simple Plan would still be in their respective garages playing to the e...

ANTHONY HAMILTON - The Point Of It All (2009) I got this one from Rapgodfathers. Big up to the nice people there for this album. I bet most of you will love this album. 14 tracks filled with soulful vocalizations. Anthony Hamilton is no rookie with his powerful rough and tough voice with crazy skills on the microphone. You will love the soulful tracks in the likes of "Please Stay" showcasing Hamilton's powerful vocals and the bluesy "Prayin For You/Superman" as a tribute to the old school part dance hall and part swingin blues jam on the keys. "Fine Again" is purely a fine gospel number and "I Did It For Sho" is a nice laid back cute jazz tune. All I can say is that you will find this album heavily influnced with gospel. For those who love a complete evolutionized from roots to the newer than new styles of RnB, than this album is for you. Although I am not a fan of Hamiltons but I still think this album is worth a try. Still not my cup of tea...
