| My friend told me this was the best release of 2010, topping "Wormwood, A New Era of Corruption and Lost Boy." Obviously I didn't have high expectations, but this hit even lower: Breaker is the most boring chugfest I've ever heard; For Today cannot seem to go thirty seconds without an absolutely terrible breakdown. The spoken word sections and Drew York's guest vocals are the only redeeming qualities. |
