    Love Little Big Town's new Breaker album. I especially love "DRIVIN Around"... it brings me back to my early days of driving with the radio blasting and windows down just cruising with my best friends! Powerful harmonizing voices on one of the best songs on the album! Congrats to all!!!

    Got this album today. Immediately I was impressed by the opening song, "Happy People". It's soft and has a warmth to it, then you have a few upbeat songs that follow, Then you get to "Better Man" written by Taylor Swift and it is an easy stand-out song, especially seeing as it was the lead single for the album. "Rollin" follows it and I really like this song, it is catchy and makes youGot this album today. Immediately I was impressed by the opening song, "Happy People".

"Rollin" follows it and I really like this song, it is catchy and makes you want to dance. "Beat Up Bible" is religious and I am not always a fan when singers implement religion to their songs, however, Kimberly sings this song beautifully and that improves the song a fair bit.
    My overall rating is 7 out of 10. I like this album, but it could have one or two more songs that had more powerful harmonies that Little Big Town are well capable of. If I had any dislikes I would say that the production is a tiny bit off. It has pop influences throughout but the songs have a repetitive sound to them. Overall I think it's a great modern and classic country twist.    … Expand

    For as much fun as Wanderlust often was, the sound of The Breaker is really the band’s wheelhouse.

    Little Big Town cherish the gentler moments, and this ease with sensitivity turns The Breaker into something of a quiet triumph: it's intended as a balm, and it succeeds.

    Although the rest of The Breaker may not be blessed with the T-Swizzle magic, there are some more strong contenders for your next breakup playlist.
