It’s
a song that begs for dissection. And for bloggers, it is easy to accommodate because
there is a lack of information about MAX THREAT to convey to readers. During
the initial encounters with “Doe Under Headlights”, the shimmering guitar
that first emerges after only 15 seconds is the crowd-pleaser. Later, there are
the unexpected shifts, such as the guitar characteristics during the bridge at
2:15.
Like
the instrumentation, the vocals are seemingly too antsy to sit in a single place.
At times, the vocals in “Doe Under Headlights” take a relaxed storytelling
approach. In striking contrast, there is an intense, high-energy delivery
beginning at 2:44. Diversity carries risk. Admittedly, we weren’t fans of the
segment having the intense delivery, at least not at first. But as we equated
the segment with a similar approach in Grouplove’s “Tongue Tied,” proper
appreciation arrived.
