Oct 11, 2011Surfaces aside, the songs on Breaks In The Armor are impassioned and crafty--right in line with what Bachmann has been up to for decades now.
-
Oct 17, 2011While Breaks takes a few tracks to pick up traction, Bachmann's true grit comes through.
-
Oct 11, 2011Armor is Bachmann's most vigorous post-Archers of Loaf full-length since 2003's Red Devil Dawn.
-
Oct 11, 2011It may not be as pretty as Red Devil Dawn or as road trip-ready as Forfeit/Fortune, but Breaks in the Armor has got more gas in the tank than either of them.
-
Apr 23, 2012It feels like a declaration of purpose instead, made all the stronger for having passed through the crucible of Bachmann's doubts, through the armor breaks, and straight into-and from-the heart.
-
Oct 12, 2011It's all spare and often dark, but Breaks in the Armor is a surprisingly comforting album in its cloudy way.
-
Oct 12, 2011Breaks' lyrical thumbnails of lost opportunities and forgotten friends can seem a touch too pathos-addled on paper, but drawn through Bachmann's lungs, they leave their mark.
