ROB THOMAS - Cradle Song (2009) Hello there Mr. Rob Thomas. It has been a while since we saw this guy with a new album. Thus here is his latest album called Cradlesong. The country influenced title track was ok but I am expecting more out of him though. A mellow number but highly potential to be a sentimental classic. The introduction in "Fire on the Mountain" got some folky, navajo chant-esque and tribal feel before bursting into its heavy rock mode for the chorus. Too repetetive for me. "Hard On You" and "Still Aint Over You" were OK songs but it failed to register into my head. The only song that I can put into my listenable list was the song "Someday". Beautiful lyric about separation that everybody can relate to if you are going through a divorce or something. It is a good album in its own league but you will have to really sink into the album a couple or more of times before the songs can really register. I like "Someday" though, ...

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.

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 ...

PLAIN WHITE T'S - Big Bad World (2008) The only reason i put this album here in the first place was because I am currently hooked up with their 2008 single "1234". The song was one of the sweetest song i have ever heard. Try and sing this song to your girlfriend or your wife if yr married, on a nice valentine evening or on your wedding day, I bet 100 bucks that she will cry her eyes out. I am not really a fan of Plain White T's but "1234" may be a view changing song if not life changing. Their second single "Natural Disaster" was a good rock song too. You will definitely love this one. If you like Dashboard Confessional then this album was definitely made for you. DOWNLOAD
