First off, as soon as you stick the CD in the player, you are taken to the ArtofBreaking.com website where you are greeted by a short montage of images from the CD cover images and a clip of the song 'Absolute' and then redirected to the new Tooth and Nail website. Then you have to make your audio player start the CD manually. I personally don't like that. Major turnoff to start with. 2nd issue was the CD cover itself, it almost has none. But in reality it does, just a silvery background with silver'flakes' on it. With my vision problems I almost didn't know which way to put this CD in since both sides looking the same. Now for the music itself.... Startnig off with 'Absolute" you get a semi-groove rock feel from the bass and drums at the start and then it kicks into high gear at the bridge and chorus with an "in-your-face" feel. The next song, "Slow Bleed" has a P.O.D.-esque feel to it's bassline and guitar style. My favorite song on this album is Move. with the gritty vox on the chorus, the hard drum lines and great bass rhythms just do it for me. I tried to use this as a workout song, but it's just a bit to fast for me to get into the timing with it. Hit the Floor would be a good one for a boxer as it has that Rocky-style mood to it. Lyric-wise, Absolute is the most faith bold song on here. From reading all the lyrics on here, they all require to think on a deeper level to understand what they are saying and talking about. While not 'cookie-cutter' type of lyrics, they aren't in-your-face either. Track Listing: 1. Absolute 2. Slow Bleed 3. The Art Of Breaking 4. Stranger 5. Hurt 6. Hand Grenade 7. Move 8. Hit The Floor 9. Go 10. Make Me A Believer 11. Breathe You InRead full review
SImply put it gets you thinking but not so much that you can't rock out. the "car out" songs like Absolute are great in that you feal a pull to the music and it gets you into to the lyrics not just the sound. we have all heard the songs that have a great beat but lacking in the lyrics, well thats not on this CD. every track has lyrics that reflect the music with it. for example "Move" if played with only the music is a fun and "head bang-able song (hard to do but if you have the equipment i strongly suggest you try it) I have listen to this cd a few times through now, and though i tend to stop listening closely on the last 2 tracks there isn't a single song i skip. In fact i tend to repet a few just to get me moving again. so my final oppinion is that if your into any kind of Rock this is a CD you need to get, if not for the music than for the message....God Rawks!!!!Read full review
I've been a Tfk fan for years and love their music but this CD isn't as good as their previous ones. My favorite is Phenomenon and that's a hard one to beat. Still this disc is good and I'd recommend it to all TFK fans. Not a TFK fan? Checkout their CD titled Phenomenon and you will be a TFK fan.

This band has matured so much over the years and this CD is awesome! I've listened to it over and over, I wish it was longer. I'm thinking it's about 45 min of play time but every second is great. I love it that there are Christian bands creating such quality music with such a positive message. Buy this one!
This CD features some very good songs like breathe in you, move, and the art of breaking but some of the other songs fail to meet typical expectations that have come to be known from TFK. This CD is worth getting if you absolutely LOVE TFK's songs but If you aren't a huge fan I would recommend just buying singles of the songs that you know you like or enjoy. The words and lyrics featured in some of the songs seem like they don't match the rhythm and/or music being portrayed and this is by far the biggest element that dilutes this album.
