Chris Bryan: The Sum of my Habits

"We knew there was talent when Chris Bryan released his first album -- this one features the refinement we were hoping for, which will certainly break him into the market. He sounds a little like Savage Garden vocal wise, but mixes in an element of acoustic guitar music that is rarely found nowadays. Bryan's honest, both in lyrics and voice -- and that resonates throughout this collection of 10 songs. "Learning to Fly" set the tone for the album, which is that Bryan has arrived onto the acoustic scene and done so with the ability to go above the coffeehouse sound. Yet he brings that back in "Seasons," staying true to his roots."

Chris Bryan: Shades of Blue

"Forecast: smooth acoustic riffs combined with a melancholy feel. That's what you're bound to find when you listen to Chris Bryan's CD. If you're a fan of acoustic, this album is for you. You won't find tons of studio mastered beats, just Bryan and his 6-string...and it's a beautiful thing. He doesn't whine about romance; he delves into the emotions of it and does so while keeping the mood light. "I Don't Want to be Right" is perhaps the most charming song on the album...a soft tender tune about the simplicity of being with another person that you adore. Bryan sings, "I fall a little more in love with you everyday of my life/If it's wrong for me to wanna be with you, I don't want to be right." Bryan exuberates soul throughout the album, and especially in "Take a Good", a live track about jumbling words. The comical improv track is sure to please those who love acoustic guitar stage banter. Although I'm not a fan of acoustic stuff until after I hear the studio version, I can fully appreciate Bryan's efforts to make this clean, professional recording. He's got a lot of potential, and this album is a great start."

"An indie version of John Mayer, Chris Bryan is riff with a pop vocal and hooks that the mainstream artists look for in each song. He’s got plenty of single potential on “The Sum of My Habits." - Smother.net

"His melodies are impeccable. Each time you strip a layer away from your sound, the remaining layers become that much more important. They have to be that much better. Chris manages this with ease...[it] never feels forced. That's the kind of talent that separates a great artist from a good one." - Gigatracks
