Something like it went through my mind when I happen to see at a local television after deserved Feierabend a trailer for "Leave This Town". It would almost not noticed, because on the one hand the television is usually on the side, advertising war I did not have, and initially I thought it was a trailer of Nickelback as "No Surprise" was shown and the suspiciously like the handwriting of Chad Kroeger listened. But wait, "Dark Horse" is in the CD rack, because this song is not it definitively. So shortly after the last Nickelback album already next ... ??? Something is not right. And then I read what of Daughtry.
Nabbed laptop, called Internet, Amazon opened sought CD, sample belongs, seen fit ordered CD, receive delivery, CD belongs in a good mood, dubbed CD to hard drive in the car, so I can enjoy my trips the music album up and down is one ...
Locker flaky, fun and rock the music comes out of the speakers. The guitars rumble rhythmically and pithy, but never intrusive therefore. The vocals of Chris Daughtry is very pleasant even in the quieter passages. Simply honest rock music, the good mood with me.
What I'm only on the biscuit is the constant debate about mainstream and often the associated devaluation of all bands that can be assigned to the vermeindlich mainstream. When music is because mainstream? When it reaches more than 10,000 enthusiastic listeners? When she comes into the top 100 of the Bilboard Charts? Is there a style of music? Or we speak of mainstream once it has managed a band in the radio station? Is a band that plays the same style of music but not yet discovered by a label was not a mainstream, because it has not yet sold so many records? Complete nonsense ...
There are, in my view good and less good music either with respect to the craft. Everything else is a matter of taste. So if Nickelback, Creed, Daughtry and Co. are representative of the mainstream, I confess it. I am completely latte whether Chris Daughtry could achieve a certain level of recognition in the US format "American Idol" and that helped him. In fact, the music is very catchy, is technically well and has reached me immediately. Whether the music here is mass appeal, plays no role at all for me.
Conclusion: feel-good sing-Mitgroove-5-star RockŽnŽRoll ;-))
