Goes for adds on March 23rd. I'm surprised they're going with this song, but it's kind of cool.
For those who don't know the story behind this song, it was from the unreleased sophomore album of a band called Injected, who released an album in 2002 and then got dropped and broke up. David Cook was given the song to rerecord. So it's like Injected has a new single now too. Except not.

Actually, it sounds like Cook was a big fan of Injected and asked the band to let him have a run at the song. He changed around a few of the lyrics and added some new guitarwork---I really like how it turned out.

Injected? "Bullet" was a great song, I'll have to check this out.

"Faithless" was a legit single. "Only Hurts Awhile" was a really awesome album track. Overall I was a little disappointed in the album though.

What is the meaning behind the title? It's interesting.. From Wikipedia: "Barbasol is a brand of shaving cream, body wash, and aftershave, founded in 1921 in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is currently owned by Perio, Inc." "Unsatisfied with traditional shaving methods, MIT Professor Frank Shields set out to create a product that would provide for a less irritating shave. In 1919, he succeeded with the invention of Barbasol – a shaving cream that did not have to be worked into a lather. He named it Barbasol from the combination of two words: the Roman word barba (meaning beard) and “solution.”" |

^ I thought everyone knew that it was a shaving cream. In fact, I use it quite often.

LOL the only way I know the name Barbasol is the shaving cream. ???
Did Light On do anything at rock? I don't think this guy stands a chance.

"Light On" was sent to Mainstream and Active rock radio but it didn't chart at all.

This is the only song from his album that I can tolerate. It's pretty good.

It sounded like a shaving cream but I figured that was too weird.  |

Do you think that it won't get airplay because of the song, or just because he won American Idol?

Personally I don't think it will do that well because it's not that great a song. It's interesting, but apart from that I think they should've gone with something like Heroes or Declaration or something that made a little more sense radiowise.

It's the chorus, I checked it out myself after I heard about it. "Beeeeest of both worlds" to "Deeeee-clar-a-tion."
It's fairly close.

Eh, I never heard that much similarity there. It's a pretty common note progression.
I never thought that Declaration or Heroes would do as well as Bar Ba Sol at rock radio. They kind of seem, I don't know, a little earnest for the rock format. Bar Ba Sol just seems like a better fit to me. Bar Ba Sol is also great live. You can tell that he and his band love to play it, and his drummer and lead guitarist are for real.

The song isn't half bad; it reminds me of Three Days Grace or Breaking Benjamin.

on first listen I have no love whatsoever for this song. The only thing I notice is that he might really have the voice to carry out a Rock career. I actually like the song Light On better than this but still I've only listened to it once. It doesn't even feel like a grower to me.

Love this song. It has the best chance of making an impact at rock radio than any other track on his disc.

Everything about Declaration screams Hannah Montana, even the lame subject matter. And I don't think the Idol name is going to hurt him all that bad at rock, but he sure won't have hits here like Daughtry. I think the average rock listener thought Daughtry was (and still is) more of a real artist than Cook. I only really see Cook having a few minor rock-ballad hits on Hot AC. |
