Breaker is the third full-length album by christian metalcore/deathcore band For Today. From the beginning to the end, it is full of passionate God-inspired lyrics and personal testimonies of vocalist, Mattie Montgomery. For Today has shown much progress and maturity which each successive album and with the Breaker they have completely showcased their full maturity and potential; adding many different elements to their music in comparison to previous albums. The breaker adds heavier breakdowns, smoother guitar work, and a wider range of vocal styles that were pretty much non existent over the past years.
Listening to the first half of the album you will be compelled to get up and headbang with the epic breakdowns fusioned with deadly vocals. Throughout the second half of the album you will be hit with more emotional and slower work. The album starts out fast paced and angry, but ends in a "church" gospel choir singing, which could be a disappointment for many hardcore fans out there.
Overall the album is worth buying, but may get quite old after a while due to the same recycled christian lyrics.
Pros: Better breakdowns, better solos, better vocals, and song structure.
Cons: Repetitive lyrics, intermissive testimonies.
