BREAKING POINT - Beautiful Disorder

BREAKING POINT
Beautiful Disorder
Wind Up Records
8/10





As Breaking Point masterfully emits a combination of energy, melody and strong songwriting the success of Beautiful Disorder is virtually guaranteed. Stylistically, the group is certain to appeal to fans of mid-tempo, high energy rock like Puddle Of Mudd and AlterBridge, as Breaking Point proves to be definite contenders for the rock throne in 2005 with this moving assemblage of high quality hard rock.

Songs such as “Show Me A Sign” show a sensibility in their execution that resides somewhere in between the sounds of Crossfade and Collective Soul, while Breaking Point retain their own identity amidst the fray. Smooth vocal harmonies drop hints of Nu Metal at times, with the structuring of the vocal lines reminding one of a more focused Linkin Park or a grown up Good Charlotte.

Nevertheless, hard rock is fueling the heart of this group’s music and their ability to deliver a solid, commercial rock tune is evidenced by the wonderfully arranged “Don’t Let Go.” A track that has hit written all over it, “All Messed Up” finds Breaking Point tackling a traditional power ballad with bold measure of flair.

Lyrically, Beautiful Disorder is focused on relationships, with the wide majority of the songs on the album perfectly represented by the record’s cover in spirit. “Goodbye To You” finds the group at their best, shining through artistically with a track that is not only intensely ear-catching, but highly memorable as well.

Listeners will be hard pressed to find something not to like about this music. Although the style is often a familiar one, Breaking Point never fails to give it a touch of flavor, making for music that is edgy and exciting.

The “From-out-of-nowhere” surprise of the year, Breaking Point appears destined for nothing less than complete stardom with this superb effort.
