Free Music Review: Why Wasn't This Another Smash?
Hit: 5 Stars

Don't let the lack of sales fool you. If you liked Bringing Down the Horse, you will enjoy this album. With Breach, Jakob and the band simply picked up where they left off on their last album; they're still playing honest, straightforward rock and roll. On this album, there's no hype, no gimmick, no pretense, no politics, and no excess. These songs stand on their own because they are simply excellent tunes, well written and well performed without a bunch of fanfare, electronics, or studio techniques.

"Letters from the Wasteland" is the opening track, a smooth rocker with a soaring chorus. "Hand Me Down" is backed by some great chords, and "Sleepwalker" is another graceful up-tempo rock song. "I've Been Delivered" is perhaps my favorite song on the album with its infectious rhythm and interesting instrumentation. "Witness" is a pleasant ballad, and "Some Flowers Bloom Dead" is another inviting song with a sing-along chorus. "Mourning Train" and "Up from Under" are slower, acoustic tunes that provide an appropriate change of pace. The faster rock resumes with "Murder 101", another entertaining song, and the album closes with the warm and wistful "Birdcage."

I think this was one of the best albums of last year, and I definitely recommend it to those who like pure, unadulterated rock music.
