I am still not liking the way David's hair looks like he is a conehead. He needs to brush the ridge of hair over a bit. Otherwise, that is an awesome pic. lol, I see they used some grunge brushes and splatter brushes to rock up his cover a bit.

close enough it is jane Curtin and the other conehead was Laraine Newmnan. When SNL started in the mid 70s it was so popular that no matter where you were even at a party, everyone would turn on the tv and watch it. I think the original few casts were definitely the best. gilda Radner was hilarious..

Well I have been listening and that is a real rocking album. Until I got to permanent. What a raw song and showed his vulnerability to be sure. It had me in tears and it reminds me of learning my very young niece had leukemia. It is so hard feeling so helpless to help and to try to be strong for the ill ones. She had a happy outcome but has some continuing struggles do to the treatment. It sounds like his brother may not be so lucky but I hope he too gets a miracle.

The way this review began, I thought it was going to be totally negative, but it's not!!! YAY!! David Cook CD Review: No Catchy Pop Here
The first time I hear a song, I know it’s good when it hits that first chorus and I uncontrollably break into a smile. And if I really think it’s good, my head bops along to the beat.
But as I was listening to “David Cook,” neither my lips nor my head even budged.
I don’t know what it was that was bothering me. Maybe I was expecting something different. Maybe it was too rock for me. Maybe it was because so many of the songs featured high screams followed immediately by hushed singing in his lower register, making them sound terribly alike.
Whatever it was, I just couldn’t get into the CD. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t good, I just wasn’t feeling it.
Then somewhere in the middle of the chorus of “Lie,” the eighth track on the CD, I felt the smile. One track later came the head bob. And then everything was fine. In fact, when I gave the CD a second listen, I enjoyed it a lot more.
So what was my problem in the beginning? Maybe I just had too much David Archuleta stuck in my head…
The CD starts out with “Declaration,” the song Cook sang on “SNL.” It sounds much better recorded, but I think it could still use a little less soaring of a chorus…
“Heroes” has a great chorus with some pretty good lyrics…
Then it’s the first single, “Light On,” which I still think rocks, even if Top 40 radio doesn’t…
“Come Back To Me” has a Lifehouse sound to it—and I mean that as a compliment…
“Life On the Moon” has some interesting lyrics and a pretty catchy chorus. It’s the moody rocker song.
The real rocker on the CD is “Bar-ba-sol.” And even though I’m not a big rock song fan, this one actually kind of works for me…
“Mr. Sensitive,” however, is a tad too much on the rock side for me. I think it’s the way David sings the word “sensitive”…
I’ve already told you about “Lie,” which is one of the best tracks on the CD…
“I Did It For You” is a great song with a great chorus…
“Avalanche” seemed to be continuing the CD’s momentum, but then it lost me…
But then Cook whips out a GORGEOUS ballad, “Permanent,” and I was back…
Cook then goes feel good—or as feel good as a rock anthem can get—with “A Daily Anthem.” It has a good chorus, but it goes a little too long.
And then, at the 12:04 mark of “Anthem” after several minutes of silence, there’s a hidden track possibly called “Kiss On the Neck.” I’m not sure why Cook kept this one hidden because it’s one of the best songs on the CD…
The CD closes with the bonus track, “The Time of My Life.” I was concerned that this song wouldn’t fit in, but after the hard rocking “Neck,” it works nicely…
“David Cook” tries really hard to strike the balance between rock and radio-friendly and for the most part it does with both solid rock songs and solid radio singles. But if you’re looking for catchy pop, you’re not going to get it here…
However, if you’re looking for some music with substance from an outstanding vocalist, this CD is for you.
It might just take an extra listen or two to get there…
“David Cook” hits stores Tuesday, November 18th…

Mary Lee, this is from the newspaper in Wanda's hometown Huntington W Va. It is 20 miles from where I grew up and I read this paper everyday when I lived at home. My cousin was married to the guy that draws the cartoons for them.
