"This album is much less dark than metropol but still dark. Shackleton is quite unique with his vocals. Unlike most singers these days, he doesn't scream or strain his voice. but anyway, Here is a track by track review for this CD:1. Beatbox Burning- Hard driving dance song with great drums - 9/10
2. Sound of the Revolution- Quite cheerful medium tempo song with great chorus- 9.5/10
3. Borderliners- Slow song with a very airy feel and great bass- 8.5/10
4. Neverstop- Very similar to Beatbox Burning. Very anthemic- 9.5/10
5. I go wild- Slow song. not bad- 9/10
6. Your Future- Slow song with nice strings and piano mixed with synths and drums- 8/10
7. Yesterday- Beautiful short ambient song- 8.5/10
8. Shockwave- Certainly a shock after Yesterday. Realy cool acid synths, bass and guitar. Hard fast song- 9.75/10
9. Liberation Radio- Best decsribed as funky, lots of bass- 9/10
10. Nobody- Another very beautiful slow song with great strings- 9.75/1011. Resurrection City- Sounds a bit like Neverstop, Hard, very fast, long too- 9.5/10
12. Revolution Rewind- WOW! AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR! slow version of track 2 with more dark atmosphere- 9.75/10This is a pretty good CD. The kind of CD you drive down the road with the bass up really loud.
Best song- Nobody
Runners up-Neverstop, Revolution Rewind, Resurection City, Shockwave, Yesterday, Beatbox Burning
Total Score-9.5/10"

"I read this review on Virginmega.com (http://www.virginmega.com/default.asp?aid=7D0)
and it sold me on the album. It's well worth the money. "Breaking Point is a tremendous album with countless musical and emotional layers that any self-respecting music lover will relate to, especially those with an appreciation for intricate production that embraces live playing and beats from genres of jazz and rock."--From Kim Taylor's review"
An excellent folow up.

"Lunatic Calm has always been an excellent band. I had been looking forward to some new material from them for quite some time now. This new album does not dissapoint. It's got that same great downtempo style from their first works except a lot of the songs are now more mellow and relaxed.Beatbox Burning and Shockwave are the two hardest track on the album and will undoubtedly be favorites of fans of the original album. The rest of the tracks are a very different yet very familiar at the same time. Think of it as an evolutionary step for the band. My favorite track is 'I Go Wild', it didn't get to me at first but sort of grows on you. Has a very nice ambient feel to it. This CD is great, if you're already familiar with this band and liked Metropol you'll love this. If you haven't heeard of Lunatic calm before give it a whirl. This is some great techno/industrial music that you can listen to over and over again."
