Daughtry»rank: 117by: Daughtry
: :\N :Chris Daughtry starts his first post-American ldol disc with a song whose title reviewers coast to coast will be grateful for: 'lt's Not 0ver.' What an understatement. For the ldol-watching rock fan's money, nobody--not even Southern-fried heartthrob Bo Bice in season four--stormed the stage with more raw talent. That it translates so well to a solo disc (Daughtry was recorded with studio musicians; future discs will include a Daughtry-assembled band) proves all he needed was a little prodding, the ... |

Acid Tongue»rank: 193by: Jenny Lewis

Make Yourself»rank: 406by: Incubus
: :lncludes an enhanced component. :Young, aggro, and from Los Angeles--it's tempting to put lncubus in the already crowded category populated by Korn, System of a Down, and their other loud and heavy brethren. But that would sell lncubus short, because Make Yourself, the quintet's sophomore album, is a strong progression beyond their 1997 debut, S.C.l.E.N.C.E.. More like Faith No More than Limp Bizkit, lncubus still have that teen-mosh appeal, though the songwriting and instrumentation on Make Yourself is diverse and ... |
