 - had no ideaWhat i was missing waiting to get this cd. I should've bought it earlier wasnt sure about it. But after listening to Art of Breaking i like the way it turned out and yes it has a different feel than TFKs previous efforts. Its not a bad thing by any means though. Each track jumps into after the next still have the sound, singing and lyrics that have given TFK a firm fanbase and will continue to do that with this release. I enjoyed: Stranger Hurt Hit The Floor Go Move It has a different flow than what they've done in the past but it still keeps their original feel and gets you amped all the same. The Art of Breaking by TFK is a step above some of the others out there. Rating: - Great Christian Rock AlbumOk. QUALITY. TFK has dished out a very high quality record with a great variety of songs, the guitar and drums and vocals are all crisp and clean, and the music has a very high energy to it. MESSAGE. A little interesting actually. Upon reading the lyrics one would be certain that TFK is pleading for release from themselves on nearly every song. Absolute is about needing truth because we as a race have nothing left to lose... true, but interestingly put. Slow Bleed is about returning to Christ after mentally returning to human thinking, definately a good song for someone needing to straighten things out, although it would have been a little more meaningful with a bit more positive thinking. Oh well. The Art of Breaking tends to sound a bit like a lament. Almost like the band has lost a good friend to poor perspective... although this song can also be interpreted as God crying out to his creation. Stranger is yet another cry for something more out of life than human ways and thinking (this also could have benefited from another hint of positive spiritual meaning... but once again is a good rock song.) Hurt. Excellent! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful song. Best song on the album. Hand Gernade... um, don't get it. Sounds like they wrote it because the name sounded cool, and it really really does, this is a pretty slick sounding rock song. Move. Now here is a song that has awesome meaning and a really good sound. Basically this song is the modern rock version of REDEEM THE TIME! "Let's make that noise and move!" (P.S. Yet another you have too read into a bit, but it's worth the extra mile.) Hit The Floor. A bit weird, still sounds cool though. Go. Good message, good sound. Make Me A Believer. Once again, good sound good message. Breathe You In. Explicity and whole heartedly Christian. Just listen to it. OVERALL TFK has released a great rock album with several songs that pull it above the mainstream. (Although I would love it if their next record had more spiritual meaning and a bit less poetic lamenting. At least it's only downside is it's over poeticism and not it's depressing subject matter. So in the words of Move "let's make that noise!" Rating: - I don't skip any songs on this cd!I highly recommend this cd. I enjoyed every song. My particular favorites are "The Art of Breaking," "Hurt," and "Hit the Floor." Rating:  - Good MusicWhen I first got this cd I did not enjoy the music at all. After a couple days though I really started to like it. The first 3 tracks on the cd are great and Move is good also. I highly recommend you to get this cd. Rating: - Great AlbumUnlike a lot of artists out there, Thousand Foot Krutch have made sure pretty much every song on the album is worth listening to and capable of becoming a personal hit for a few weeks, even months. The songs differ enough in melody to seem new one after the other, and despite being a Chistian band, the lyrics are not preachy. A great listen and a great band to support-definitely worth buying this one. Keep up the good work, TFK.
