Background

Daughtry said about the album, "Cage to Rattle has been the most fun yet most challenging album we've ever made. It's a musical stew we've been cooking up for more than 2 years and we can't wait to satisfy the appetites of our amazing fans who've been patiently waiting for this record!".[3]

Singles

"Deep End" is the first single and was released on June 5, 2018.[4] "As You Are" was the second single and was released on June 5, 2019 as a celebrations of Pride Month.

Reception

The album received positive reviews from critics. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the album showed the band moving away from their previous hard rock style to encompass a more mellow stance. Erlewine wrote that the few "rock signifiers" used by Daughtry were "in service to an album that is otherwise adult alternative easy listening."[5]

gollark: ... seriously why.
