Musical Musings...

So recently, I have purchased/been gifted the following CD's: Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/Love Sounds, Evanescence - The Open Door, Dierks Bentley - Long Road Alone, Keith Urban - Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing, and Daughtry's self titled debut album. So let's dive right in.

Justin - I bought this disk on the basis of "SexyBack". I am a pretty little girl when it comes to that song. I cannot help but want to dance. I hated this cd when I first listened to it. Hate! Unwilling to give it up, I listened to it a few more times. It started to grow on me. Now every time this cd starts, I can't help but want to shake my booty.

Evanescence - Let me start off by saying, that I think Amy Lee has the opportunity to change the face of rock for women. I mean seriously, who do we have? There's the most famous chick rocker/burnout of all time, Courtney Love. Um, No. Amy Lee can save the world. I thought Fallen, their major label debut, was just the cat's meow! The Open Door. Eh. It's solid but mostly, ...unmemorable.

Dierks - Hummna, Hummna, Hummna. What a tasty dish. The cd is country goodness, but I have heard him do better. I still love him, but I think I will hold out for something better. There are a few stand-out tracks on the album though, that I just can't help but turn it up.

Keith - For a boy who released an album on the week he went to rehab, he's doing alright. I have yet to hear anything less then great from this man. I have seen him live 3 times now, and it's so very worth it. He is an incredibly charismatic performer and it shines through on disk, as well.

Daughtry - This cd comes to us from American Idol cast off Chris Daughtry. While I find it to be a very solid album, it seems to be it skips genres a bit. He has to decide what sound he wants to go with. He can pull off edgier pop, but he sounds more true coming in as rock. All that aside, this is still the most enjoyed cd I have acquired in recent months. I am eager to see what a second release brings from him.

So there you have it, aren't you just over-joyed now?

lol, we got the same CDs as a gift. By coincidence my favorite is Daughtry. It doesn't hurt that he's a cutie. I live in NY so I'm planning to rock with them at Times Square.

That is a good cd. And he is beautiful. I envy you for being able to see them perform. I bet they do put on a hell of a live show.

Funny how things work out.

We both hadn't posted in a week and a half and we both came back and wrote a post about Timberlake's new album.

Oh, and female rockers?

I'm putting my money on Lacey Mosely from Flyleaf.
