Review by Truth Seeker for Thousand Foot Krutch : The Art Of Breaking 2005-09-02
THE BAND IS AWESOME! In fact, "Absolute" talks about the need for truth in our lives, especially GOD's truth. They even call Him Absolute. "Slow Bleed" recognizes sin in the band members lives, and urge fans to get out of bad situations. The title track promises,"I'll pick you up/Won't let you fall/I'll build your trust/And it won't hurt at all." The song also tells us not to depend on addictions or crushes either:"Your only drug will let you down." "Stranger" talks about the fact that we as Christians don't belong in the world, and it sympathizes with people who feel like losers and who wonder about God and their place in the world. "Hurt" does much of the same, but it also drives home the message that we aren't perfect, but that we're sinful(see the main verses of that song). "Hand Grenade" is basically a desperate call out to God to reveal Himself to the band and show them where to go next and what to do. "Hit the Floor" is the same, although the band could be saying that they'll go and do what's right anyway. "Move" is basically a party song, although it could be encouraging people to come together in unity, to "move or we will all be destroyed", seek beauty instead of ugliness(see the song's references to a storm and a diamond), and to do what is right("If you're making the choice/Tell all the girls and the boys"). "Go" could be interpreted as either thanking God or others. "Make me a Believer" also addresses the band's feeling of sin and remorse and want to be cleaned from that, but they know that friendships require trust and healing("Away, I'm sorry/And I'm sorry/And tonight, ignore me, ignore me/And I'm so sorry/I'm sorry/You know I'm sorry"). Finally, "Breathe You In" is all about the band seeking God, knowing Him, and loving Him as well. Basically, it's a call to God and a vow that they'll "seek You out" and follow him because they know that "there's a truth I've known/And it's You."
Basically a God-driven album once again. This band certainly knows how to rock and also how to praise God too! The lyrics aren't explicitly Christian, but God and Biblical values are stressed and approved of in the album from time to time. A winner everyone should have and love!

Wow! TFK has done it again! Hard-hitting rock tunes are on the house in "Absolute," the title track, "Slow Bleed," "Hand Grenade," "Move," "Hit the Floor," and "Make me a Believer." The rest of the album nicely puts in softer tunes and slows down the pace just a tad in "Stranger," "Hurt," "Go," and "Breathe You in." God's name isn't referred to once on the album, but you can still sense that he's important in the lives of the band members. "Absolute" and "Breathe You in" speak very clearly of this. "Absolute" is all about the importance of finding truth in our lives, and God is the only REAL source of that. Here is that song's chorus:"We want the truth/Give us the Absolute/we need your help/Cause we've got nothing left to lose/I know we've tried this thing a million times/But put me out cause I'm on fire." Other times the band is confronted with their sin("Slow Bleed"), desperation("Hand Grenade" and "Hit the Floor"), and the feeling that they belong somewhere other than the world("Stranger"). Great job, TFK! Keep up the good work, keep rockin' hard, and keep God in your lives! We love you!
Review by Nick White for Thousand Foot Krutch 2004-09-23
These guys are awesome! When I first heard Thousand Foot Krutch, I was very surprised. I didn't know who the guys were, and then my sister informed me about them. I still like "Puppet," "Unbelievable," and "Lift It" from the Set it Off disc(the original one). On Phenonenon, I like the title track, "Last Words," "Rawkfist," and "Quicken" the best. Once my youth group and I went to one of their concerts(this was when they had just released the original Set it Off disc). Let me tell you...it was amazing! They sounded so driven for the Lord. If you don't know Krutch or like them, or have any one of their CD's, PLEASE DO! They're phenomenal!

Theres a reoccuring theme happening here if you haven't noticed. With every album released Krutch seems to mature. They inspire many because of their amazing lyrics, there awesome talent, and their strong faith.

The first time i listened to thousand foot krutch i was blown away by how much talent these guys had.They became my favorite band first listen! Their best song yet is still the unshakeable "Puppet". Better put... "Puppet" is mind blowin ear candy madness. i loved the diverse styles they have in their music! I was really liked "Set It Off", but "Phenomeanon" was off the krutch! I was dissapointed at first with "Phenomeanon". Mostly because none of the songs were as intense as my favorite "Puppet", but they made up for it by makin almost every song on "phenomeanon" phenomenal! TFK is bound to set it off very soon folks with their new remixed version of "set It off" comin out this fall and im sure tons of hype is already stiring about their new album comin out in 2005. TFK keep up the good work and keep on telling the whole world how much Jesus loves them!
