Format:Audio CD
I bought this album for a friend but was so desperate to listen to it that I went out and bought my own copy, and I wasn't disappointed. Right from the start of the album it's full of quirky lyrics, with an exciting musical side to it as well. People have compared this artist to James Blunt, and even though I am a huge fan of James Blunt and am going to see him live in October I have to say that Daniel Powter is just so much better! Some people have claimed that James Blunt is very samey and gets boring after a while, but there is no way that this could be said about Daniel. There is a brilliant use of instruments, making the music seem alive and in your face. It is great fun to listen to. I would recommend this album to anyone who has a music taste, and I won't be surprised when Daniel Powter gets the number one that he so obviously deserves after writing such an amazing album.

Whilst having a look on some download sites for some new music I stumbled across this album and had a quick listen to see if worth purchasing. Blimey, what a lucky find. The ingredients are Coldplay, Elton John, James Blunt with a little bit of Jake from the Scissor Sisters thrown in and DA DAH!! You have Daniel Powter. On the first play the tunes stay with you and with no fillers on the track listing its a quality album. I really dont know alot about this guy but i really hope he makes it big over here in the UK and with the release of his single Bad Day, which is gorgeous he should be a name to stay with us for some time.

When I first purchased this cd alongside James Blunt's "Back to bedlam", it came into my CD player second. At first I was pleased with the opening three tracks, Song 6, free loop and of course bad day, but the rest of the album failed to live up to this standard.
This was mainly because the rest of the songs were to "samey" throughout, as if they were there to make up the numbers. If Powter released the first 3 tracks on an EP I would suggest buy this, however unless you are a hardcore fan just borrow the CD from a friend.

not the best cd
Whilst James Blunt topped the charts with "You're Beautiful", taking plaudits by the truckload and having the nation's eyes focussed on him, in the background and prevented from... Read more

Spread the Word! This is the MUSIC we LOVE!
It's not often you find an artist who can release a CD where every song is a potential number 1. Well, I found one in Daniel Powter. Every song is a masterpiece. Read more

3.5 stars - good, but expected great!!
I agree with a lot of the previous reviewers - I bought this on the basis of 'Bad Day', which is a fantastic pop track, and found the rest of the album was altogether more mellow. Read more

Nice Surprise!
I bought this CD on the strength of Bad Day which I love. At first I wasn't sure about the album as none of the songs are anything like Bad Day - it stands alone. Read more

Really Disappointing
I expected so much more with such a great song as Bad Day, but the rest of the album just doesn't deliver. And the AC/DC falsetto is really annoying!

BLAND is the NEW EXCITING - Oh, I don't think so!
Daniel Powter? Bland! Oh, please! What a rubbish comment!
So let's get these points straight, then. Daniel Powter is a breath of fresh air. Really. Read more

don't want to like it.. but i did!
Yes he did look like a prat on the front cover. Yes his tune Bad Day has been overplayed (but somehow i can still cope listening to it esp after the day my patient died on me). Read more

Excellent album, one of the best I have found this year
Daniel Powter produced a refreshing album that I had to buy after hearing "Bad Day". Fortunately most of the songs are lovely to listen to. Read more

Fantastic from the first to last song
Whenever I buy a new album it takes me a few listens to like it, but I enjoyed this one right away. From the very first song, 'Song 6', it's clear that Daniel Powter is extremely... Read more
