    This album is one of my favorites... the band uses a kind of strange power to get where they want, and this aspec is great. I can't wait for a new release.

    I recently found out about this band and although I don't listen to the whole album, half of it blows me away.

    Rather than being enjoyable, listening to Breathe in its entirety soon becomes a chore.

    It's such a confident display that you barely notice the English-as-a-second-language lyrics. [Nov 2003, p.117]

    Leaves sound zeitgeisty and minty-fresh enough to inject some cold fire into the soft-rocking mainstream.
