The new album is coming out in about a week from now so there's going to be a lot of promotion, etc. for it. This will be for all that stuff in anticipation!
Here's an acoustic version of Lady Ga Ga's "Poker Face" which is actually pretty good!

Clips from all the songs. Sounds like we have a winner. Need to hear the whole thing to have the songs gain their own identity. Hearing clips makes it hard to distinguish between the songs...

Official video for the first single "No Suprise" (really good song, it's grown on me)...

Well...album two was far from being as good as his debut album.
The best song IMO is Tennessee Line (tract 11). The first ten tracts I found to be very similar and therefore unimpressive. Daughtry is better at the rock ballad than singing a straight up rock tune where he tries to compete with the guitars and noise.
Overall Rating: A disappointing C+

Hard to judge on first listen. I think it'll have some really strong radio songs on it. First standout songs for me are September and Tennessee Line. Thesedays if an album has 6-7 songs that are strong on it it's a "masterpiece". This one has that many on it... Right now I give it a B-.
