I became a fan
of Daughtry in early 2007, the first time I heard ‘It’s Not Over’ on the radio.
Their style is slightly heavier than my usual taste, yet they remain one of my
favourite bands, and so needless to say, I was eager to give their latest
album, ‘Break The Spell’, a listen.
Although I’ve
only listened to the entire album about three times so far, my first
impressions are very positive. This is a Daughtry album, through and through,
there’s no mistaking the music and Chris Daughtry’s extremely distinctive
vocals. I’m proud of the band for staying true to themselves; in a world where
rock is a dying genre of music, they feel no need to go mainstream or to engage
in things like duets with commercial artists in an attempt to sell more albums.
And why should they? Daughtry clearly have a winning formula, as proven by
their delivery of a third spectacular album.
My personal
favourite tracks so far are ‘Louder Than Ever’, ‘Spaceship’, the extremely
catchy single ‘Crawling Back To You’ and title track ‘Break The Spell’. Fans
will not be disappointed in this album, I’d recommend buying it immediately,
and seeing a live Daughtry show as soon as possible, I was lucky enough to
attend their concert in Cape Town last year (a show which the band later
referred to as their best show ever), and they put on a fantastic performance.
