good song good recording had a hard time finding it on free sites but was affordable for a song I really wanted.

When it honestly has came down the music out there lately, there just hasn't been much when there are definitive songs right now. Even those like Daughtry who had broke out from the shadow from American Idol haven't been able to score a high note. The band's latest single No Surprise, doesn't feel like it honestly is as invigorant as was the case with hard core fans when they broke out a few years ago. I felt that the song wasn't over the top at all. I just thought the song honestly didn't measure up to the feeling they had on songs like What About Now? or Home had. Hopefully, the next single from Daughtry can strike the louder Rock notes that could've been expected.

Song: D

It's been about 3 good, long, grueling years since Daughtry came with their debut that the public either ate like cake or despised for being generic-sounding. Either way, it was probably the talk of the town in many places.

Catchy, familiar (not departing from their sound) and some great "Ho oh oh oh oh's" in there for good measure (by now, most of you probably know the parts I'm talking about).

I find it strange though that there are like 3 different versions of this song. I find that the video version is the best and I'm guessing that that version which starts and ends with the "Ho oh oh's" will be the one on the album that I just *may* get if the samples sound inviting upon release.

4.2 stars = B

Daughtry returns with their biggest hit yet, No Surprise. It starts off as a mid tempo song when goes into a full rock song. This is easily Daughtry's best song that he has ever done. With this song, it just made Daughtry go straight to the top of the charts. Now this is what will make his album sell. Fantastic, Brilliant, and amazing. 5 Stars. What an Amazing Effort.

It seems like forever since Daughtry's first album came out, but now as it's upon us, "No Surprise," is fittingly the first single, and the title, because let's face it, this song is no surprise. Taking it's cues from the modern rock playbook pioneered by Nickelback, 'No Surprise' is decent enough, but not exactly the most memorable song in the world. But while you do remember it, you may remember it fondly with it's quiet verses, and it's slightly predictable chorus.

Overall, not Daughtry's best, but it's decent enough while you wait for his sophomore record to his stores this summer. Just don't be surprised if this song is the weakest of the bunch.

I really like this song, but $1.29 is a THIRTY PERCENT increase in the price of music. REFUSE TO PAY for these over-priced songs! There are plenty still available at $0.99. Tell the record companies WE WILL NOT PAY MORE!
