Synopsis

Amazon.com

When your band is drawing comparisons to such heavyweight rockers as Dave Matthews to Creed to Third Day, you gotta be pleased, right? That goes double for Daily Planet, who are receiving such kudos for their debut, Hero. While the comparisons are a bit presumptuous for these four buddies from Azusa Pacific, there's no doubting that this band churn out an intelligent, powerful, and passionate brand of rock. In truth, Daily Planet's influences date further back and show clearly on such tracks as "Lost and Found," which features a 1974 Elton John-like power-chord chorus straight out of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Then there's the lyrical and clever musical references to Sir Elton, Billy Joel, and the Beatles in "Six String Rocketeer," a tale of how a youth uses music to escape a troubled home. But give these Planeteers some credit--the music is solely theirs, as stamped by frontman Jesse Butterworth's robust vocal presence. "Everything Revolves Around You" and "Questioning the Notion" are shining examples (featuring some nifty lead guitar work from Bobby Reinsch) of how Christian rock can be from the head and the heart. --Michael Lyttle

CD Reviews

Yeah but what about that grooooooooove??

S. Enriquez | Sheboygan, WI United States | 10/06/2003

"Okay.....What can I say that won't sound trite and cliche? I'd been looking for some Christian music that wasn't OVERproduced (that's hard to find by the way) and NOT "poppy"... These guys are blessed!!! The lead singers voice has a great uniqueness to it (It reminds me of the lead singer of a secular band of the 90's called Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies)... The guitars are awesome.. I guess I can see where the comparisons mentioned earlier came from..
MY personal favorite song from this disc is "More to Life" .It starts out as if it's just another take in the studio. It's got a FANTASTIC groove to it... Flying Blind was a "grabber" (got me right away) and also "Everything Revolves Around You"...... Actually they're ALL winners but these are my personal favorites......
So if you like mainstream Christian Music you might steer away from this one.. But if you're looking for something original and with a bit of "attitude" this would be a gr8 choice.... I know everyones tastes are different.So if someone reads my review,buys the disc and is disappointed.PLEASE Forgive me if I mislead you.. I know it's important these days to be careful with your $$..."

One of my all time favorites!

"I love music, but rarely does a CD last in my CD changer for very long. I cannot stop listening to this album. Daily Planet's Hero has made me laugh, cry, and has challenged my concept of who God is. This album is like nothing I have ever experienced. The lyrics and overall creativity of the band go deep and wide. Give this album a listen. I swear that you will be hooked on Daily Planet for life."

One Word - Rocking!

"I come from a wide and various musical background, everything from the 80's era hair bands such as Motley Crue and Ozzy to the new rock rap of Limp Bizkit and the like. Recently turning my life I started searching for bands/music that would allow me to continue this pursuit while keeping me bouncing in my seat while driving or at work. Daily Planet has an awesome debut on their hands and through their music I can continue to grow and develop into my new life that I have dreamed of for so long. This is Christian rock at its best!"
