I really wanted to like this single, but I just can’t. David’s uniqueness does not translate in the song. There is nothing separating this release from run of the mill Daughtry or Nickelback release - who he should be trying to separate himself from with a quickness. Aside from writing the song, there is way too much of Chris Cornell’s vibe in it - the music sounds too much like Soundgarden, and if you close your eyes and listen closely, it sounds like Cornell is singing. If I wanted a Chris Cornell record, I would buy one from Chris Cornell. I didn’t expect to hear David lose so much of what makes him special…his fans from the show will buy it in droves… I’m not so sure he will have such an easy sell to the public at large… I’m lowering my previous expectations for the album, and hope there is more authentic and substantive David Cook material in it.
Hey, it was on the radio this evening, and I have to say it’s pretty good. A kind of old-fashioned rock anthem. Reminded me of Def Leppard’s Love and Hate Collide for some reason. Not note for note, but more of a general sweeping feel of the song. I’m getting pretty bored with a lot of rock these days - so many have become dull noisy dirges. I think this guy’s one to watch.
