    It’s easily their biggest-sounding: a bright, trebly, disco-poppin’ melody feast bursting with keyboards, harmonies, Tinkertoy production flourishes and chorus after towering chorus of fizzy, whiz-bang pop goodness. [No. 132, p.57]

    Breakin’ Point is a technicolour blur worth your time.

    Bands normally falter in their attempts to create an album full of 'hits' instead of remaining true to whatever their mission statement is or artistic roots are, but this is clearly the field where PB&J excel--creating bittersweet musical moments that we will be compelled to revisit again and again.

    It’s exactly the kind of music Peter Bjorn and John have always revelled in, just somewhat more consistent.

    The songs get you moving just enough. The melodies and lyrics gently grab you by the ears.

    The pop hooks may get repetitive from time to time, a fault much pop is guilty of, but the trio rework it to their favor when things slow down. For the first time in a long time, possibly a decade, Peter Bjorn and John sound best not when amping up a crowd, but when giving them a song to wave lighters in the air to.

    There are so many different genres, instruments, sounds and ideas at play here that at times its too much to digest.
