 Worth the Wait November 30, 2008

I can't seem to stop listening to this new album by David Cook. It is all that I had hoped for from this artist. There is not a bad song on the album. I have a new favorite musician to add to my personal list.
One note: One of the tracks is 15 minutes long. It contains two songs, one at the beginning and another at the end of the track. It took me a week to figure out how to configure itunes and my ipod so that I could easily listen to the hidden track "Kiss on the Neck". So if you get an album like this, it is not a "bad album", you just need to remove the dead space between the songs via your options menu.
A great voice November 30, 2008

He was my favorite from the beginning of Idol last season. So happy that his album is finally out. His voice sounds fabulous. He is a real professional and has fabulous technique. A real talent. I think he will find his sound even more as he is given the opportunity.
 Great first album November 30, 2008

I own this album and really like it. Puts me more in the mood for a great day by the pool or summer road trip versus enjoying the snow today; however, it is a great first album and "true" to the David Cook everyone got to know on American Idol...there were no surprises...just good old fashion rock and roll. If you like Daughtry, Nickelback, etc. you would like this album.
 Lost his trademark qualities November 30, 2008

David Cook was a favorite on American Idol as soon as he sang a version of Lionel Richie's "Hello" that was haunting instead of maudlin. He continued to bring surprising arrangements to light, even if borrowed, and showed himself to be a performer worth pinning some hopes on. Even his finale song was soaring and inspiring.
And now we have his first album. What a disappointment. Cook sounds like a dozen other current performers. He's lost his distinctiveness. The songs range from the forced to the monotonous, with only one or two rising to the level of listenable or interesting.
I'm willing to write this off to the pressures of hectic touring and recording, and the whirlwind this must represent. However, if he's going to become an artist worth watching, he has to do better than this collection of me-too production values on top of uninteresting songs with flat arrangements.

I remember my initial reaction to David Cook on American Idol earlier this year and it was pretty lukewarm. Little by little I warmed to his style and personality and ended up solidly in this David's camp. Now that I have heard his first CD I know I chose wisely. He is still searching a little for his style but what he has given us here is real and mostly very good. I love the musicality of Bar-Ba-Sol, the lyrics and the beat stick in your head - and it is different, quite different. Lie is my next favorite-who has not found themselves in that situation at some time or another. Let me live my fantasy just a little longer so just look me in the eyes and lie, lie, lie!! Yes David, well said. And of course Permanent just breaks your heart and seriously shows off the full range of his beautiful voice.
I recommend it to everyone of all ages and musical preferences--I am sure you will find something you like, I know I did!
