Daughtry "Break The Spell"

This "Renegade" does not slow down to ive me a chance to figure why I like it, several tempo changes (not drastic), and this distinctive grunge-funk riff. Here is the Daughtry, we know with airy melodies on acoustic guitar that break into a huge bombastic catchy chorus and vocals with nice meaty riffs that may not end up "Crawling Back To You," but won't have to because they would be stuck in your head after several listens. It seems like I'm "Outta My Head." What is this percussion doing? What about the rhythm? Does he feel like moving like Jagger? This dance/post-grunge experiment is  much appreciated, and closer to classic rock than the paralyzer with its meaty riffs, stellar percussion, singalong chorus, and group vocals that I cannot get "Outta My Head." Is there a voicebox? I gotta say that the previous track is the "Start of Something Good," and speaking of the latter, the song just shouts singalong hit to kick off an early spring or a song to soundtrack the long winter days, and gives us hope. Isn't it how "Crazy" a single solo or riff can make a song that's nothing special a favorite? Just an observation, but the vocals are great, as well as the instrumentals, and the chorus doesn't have to be written about; we know it's huge. There is something about the song that won't let me "Break The Spell" that has me enraptured because Daughtry, who is paralyzed by this love for this girl, who might have committed witchcraft ; this song just has me in it's spell as well. A powerful chorus/vocals, driving percussion, and addictive riffs is all I can say..nope, still like the song just as much.What goes up, must come down, but f*** it "We're Not Gonna Fall." Maybe my open mind has "Gone Too Soon" because I liked the former track, but it was nothing special. A nice catchy song to be expected from the band Daughtry and a nice strummed intro with a hovering rhythm section. Maybe it's just because I'm "Losing My Mind," so I am incapable of describing some of these songs, but it is modern rock, so a lot of it sounds the same. Which makes the little things matter, and in here Daughtry sings in his upper registers, which sounds really nice, and are there female vocals too? Beautiful song to soundtrack someone diving in insanity. Two great songs in a row "Rescue Me" from some okay tracks, and now a song that may even take us to the Summer of '69 with that opening and recurring riff like a time machine! Make it three.... that's "Louder Than Ever." So we rode in a time machine, but how can we ride a "Spaceship" in.. oh wait, there was one by 1969; another feel good track about love. A song about not following the mold and being yourself with a very easy to singalong chorus, not just because it's catchy, but because it's real simple and is a good part of the song."Who's They" to tell them how to make their songs, or to tell you how to, right? Another one of my favorites and "Maybe We've Already Gone" tells us something we have heard before, about something coming back around and that his ever-improving vocals sound better now (he's not afraid to widen his range). I can say I liked this one too, but this following song has a lot of good stuff in it, including the type of topic we can all relate to, unrequited love, and what else? "Everything But Me." The lyrics tell me it's about that one girl that might not be the right one, but one that had the right key to his heart which allowed her in and forever she will stay there. The record ends with a short beautiful acoustic "Lullaby," dedicated to family and friends, and may be the perfect song to put him to sleep when missing his family and friends becomes hard to bear, and I mean that in the best possible way. Strongest Incantations : Renegade, Outta My Head, Break The Spell, Losing My Mind, Rescue Me, Louder Than Ever, Spaceship, Maybe We've Already Gone, and Lullaby
