Query: Broken promises . . . .

I am so bummed about this CD. If you are a fan of his Absent Element stuff, you will be really disappointed in this CD, at least I am - even Slash couldn't save him. Such a waste of an incredible voice and talent. It is just really different - more like stuff that they would play on American Idol - very safe and no personality. On a few of the songs, I couldn't tell if he was making a country song or a rock song. He even managed to ruin "Breakdown," (a song on his Absent Element CD) and totally mellowed it out. "There and Back Again" was pretty good and almost made me give this CD 2 stars, but I couldn't cause I want to know: WHERE'S THE ROCK AT CHRIS? I thought he promised us edgy stuff? Guess that stuff doesn't sell as well to the general public. If anyone wants a free CD - email me and I'll mail you mine for free.
