    I was already impressed by the performances of Daughtry, but with Break the Spell they show how to innovate on their existing style of music. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the songs on this album, showing growth in their skills. I give this album a 9/10.

    My minus point goes to not including the bonus tracks on the standard album. That's just a **** practice.

    This Album is as good as his previous ones. Decent lyrics, very strong voice. Nothing really revolutionary but I love this kind of music. Would be great to hear sth like this again nowadays....

    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.

    Regrettably, Break The Spell never fulfills its mission of delivering an unabashed rock effort and genuine nuggets of musical magic are few and far between.

    Often, Break the Spell harks back to the glory days of the late '80s, when rockers played golden gods all for the sake of video cameras, secure in the knowledge that heavy rotation on MTV and AOR radio would shift millions of CDs.
