I bought this CD because what few songs I'd heard from it were sort of nice, and Gavin DeGraw can sound sort of like Maroon 5's Adam Levine. And if you don't know, Adam Levine's voice is dripping with sex.
Gavin DeGraw? Not so much. While there are some similarities in style, Gavin DeGraw's "Chariot" CD is totally popped over for the WB's primetime demographic. Such a pity, too. After listening to the bonus acoustic CD that came with it, "Stripped," I see that it isn't DeGraw with the pop sound--it's obviously producer Mark Endert's creation. Damn shame too, for a guy with so much gospel in his voice.
If you can get "Stripped" without the "Chariot" albatross, go for it.

As for Gavin DeGraw, his stripped stuff is much, much better than the studio album, but I use Rhapsody, so I can pick and choose which songs to buy and burn - much more economical than buying an entire CD only to learn that all but two or three songs are crap.
