22Great Album!
Pretty Good.
If I could chose one song on this album it would be a tie with Art of Breaking (song) and Breathe You In. Those are two solid songs. Hit the Floor ain't that half bad either. But the moral of this comment is that this album is GREAT.
Ahead of it's time!
While the cd was giving into the trend of running from the nu-metal sound it went in it's own direction. Instead of going metal, or wimpy girl rock it actully went for a bit of an old school rock tone and style, while obviously keeping many of it's modern rock roots.
To start Phil X's guitar work on the album is INTENSE, and way ahead of it's time for a modern rock cd. It's been 8 years and we're really just now starting to see this level of guitar playing even being considered acceptable in modern rock. Before that it was called "showing off" or "outdated" for reasons that are questionable at best, and yet here is a great example of how much it can add to music. Imo the solos were a tad short, but other than that they really add a lot of intensity, and feeling to the songs.
The lyrics, while occasionally a bit hard to decyfer, are good and interesting, which was also ahead of it's time for modern rock. In 05 most of the modern rock bands were singing blunt songs a...

The lyrics, while occasionally a bit hard to decyfer, are good and interesting, which was also ahead of it's time for modern rock. In 05 most of the modern rock bands were singing blunt songs about relationships, or fighting battles. TFK actually used metaphore, and had worship songs (Some of which are still some of the best worship songs you can get.) which was generally looked down upon by fans of modern rock (Even in many of the Christian rock community.) at the time.
Vocally the album was strong, while Trevor has grown since then, he still had it and rocked it like a boss. His voice fit the music, and added a lot of feeling, and intensity to the songss. He kept it aggressive, when appropriate, and toned it down when it fit the songs, which is NOT something a lot of singers of the time can lay claim to.
While the drumming, and bass were a tad on the typical side, they kept the album solid and let the guitar, and vocals grab you.
Overall I give the album 5 stars for it's artistry, and being so far ahead of it's time. Give it a listen or ten if you get a chance.
if they had to
i guess this is better than the other direction they could've gone. great music, but not as "grab-ya-and-pull-ya-in" as Phenomenon. i personally love the song "the art of breaking", because it's very real. they say what everyone feels but no one else will say with that song. and, "move" is just too jammin' to not love. ;)
Not Their Best
TFK!!
One of TFK's best albums!! The Art Breaking was, and still is, one of my favourite discs to listen to while doing just about anything!! if you’re looking some new rock music to listen to i would definitely recommend any of TFK's albums, Set It Off, The Art of Breaking, The Flame in All of Us, Phenomenon, and Welcome to The Masquerade. I am hoping they are coming out with some new music soon although Trevor is busy working on a new cd with FM Static.
The Art of Breaking tracks are-
Absolute- It start off a bit slower, but is one of my favourite tracks from the album and also from TFK in general!!
Slow Bleed- Not real high in my list.
The Art of Breaking – AWESOME!!
Stranger - its all right, but still not to high on my list.
Hurt- Pretty good, like 4 and half stars!
Hand Grenade- Not bad!
Move- Pretty rockin good.
Hit The Floor – 5 stars hands down
Go- meh…all right
Make Me A Believer- Good Song
Breath You In – Slow song, but so good!!
TFK-TOO FREAKIN' KOOL
Thousand Foot Krutch proves themselves as artists with every record they release! The Art Of Breaking is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.!!!!!! Hurt,Hand Grenade,Hit The Floor,and Breathe You In are my favorites...although every song is AMAZING!!!!!!!! TFK is Too Freakin' Kool!!!!:-)
Excellent!!!
This is a excellent CD.
I LOVED all the songs not just a couple.
If you like TFK, you won't like it you'll LOVE it!!!!!!!! You will soon find yourself singing all the songs out LOUD and dancing to it!!!!!
Throw up your RAWKFIST!!!!
exhilerating
these guys were freaking awesome live!! i saw them at Alive 2008 in Fulton, Ohio, along with toby mac, ff5 and others. this is my favorite album of theirs and my fave song would be absolute i think. great music all around. gets you psyched very speedily.
MOVE
love this album great rock feel i love MOVE, the art of breaking, and Hit The Floor
More of the Same Awesome Rock From An Awesome Band
After Phenomenon Thousand Foot Krutch returns with The Art of Breaking. The band toned and slowed down for this album but it works for them as well. Throughout the 11 tracks on this album you'll hear a bit of Thousand Foot Krutch's signature sound. The drumming is awesome and the album is solid.
A step down
Some of Thousand Foot Krutch’s best moments on the Art of Braking is the solid rock tunes like their singles “Absoluteâ€, “move†and the title track, unfortunately the singles are pretty much the best part of the album, because everything else is simple and not that impressive rock. “Strangerâ€, “goâ€, and “slow bleed†are not bad but they don’t have the life that the singles have,
Over all what keeps the album from sinking into a “just a couple good songs CD†is the title tracks excellent sound and pace. Also the song “hurt†is super, along with the smash hit “breathe you inâ€; both are light but very well done and are the high points on the album. But for the most part the rest of the CD is just okay.
The bands Lyrics are another annoying part on the album, as it seems in a few songs that Thousand Foot Krutch just throws in extra lyrics to make their songs rhyme. However there some good stuff on the album like...
After a very solid rock album Phenomenon, Thousand Foot Krutch followed it up with the Art of Braking a much anticipated album. The problem with a big hit is the band has to come out with another CD al least as good in quality, if not better.

Art of Braking is a good rock CD, but Thousand Foot Krutch did not make this one a Phenomenon.
The Art of Confusing
This album sort of confused me. The sound really reminded me of FM Static but with an edgy, almost metal twist. And of course, the pop sound of FM Static and metal really don’t go together well. ‘Art of Breaking’ and ‘Hit The Floor’ are two of my favorites but they soon got very tiresome and made me a little uneasy, as most other metal bands. I honestly think that they needed more songs like ‘Breathe You In’ because that’s what really made the album for me. Needless to say, I don’t really like the sound in this album but maybe that will change…maybe.
The Art of Breaking
Great album. I kind of wish they had some rapping in this one like previous albums. but it's still a great CD.
TFK
if only it were a little harder....
i really really like tfk, but this album isn't as hard as phenomenon and set it off. i still love the album, i just wish it were as hard as the other two.
Pretty Good
This was a pretty good album. I like Absolute and Hit the Floor the best.
my fav
this is my favorite TFK album. it has so many good songs. my favorite song is the art of breaking
Not bad
I wouldn't say this is the greatest CD ever. But it's by far not the worst. Most of the songs kinda give you the "get up and go school someone" feel. (or maybe that's just me haha)
It's the same energy, same rock feeling you get from all of TFK's stuff. So if you're a TFK fan, definitely go and get this CD.
I'd say "Breathe You In" has the best lyrics on this disc.
Sweetness!!
This album will rock your ears off!!
Very Good
This is a very good CD by TFK, some of the best songs on this CD (in my opinion) are, Absolute, The Art Of Breaking, and Move.
definatly worth buying
It's not as good as i was hopeing it was going to be but it's still pretty good and definatly still worth buying. My favorite songs are Absolute, Hand Grenade, and The Art Of Breaking
