    There's a serious hard-rock record lurking deep in Chris Daughtry's clean-shaven skull.

    It all sounds sturdy and fits comfortably down the middle, more dependable than daring.

    Terrific songwriting and clean, polished production.

    That lack of a distinctive style or voice also means that Daughtry isn't pulling focus from the simple and effective construction of their songs, which is pretty much the only thing they do well.

    This is an awesome CD. I loves all the songs. My favorite songs are Crawling Back To You, Spaceship, Break The Spell, and Outta My Head. This album is a must buy. I would get the deluxe edition because it was 4 more songs and they are very good also.… Expand
