The Art of Breaking

The Art of Breaking is the third studio album by Christian rock band Thousand Foot Krutch that was released by Tooth & Nail Records in July 2005. The band diverges even farther from the nu metal from their past albums, omitting rap segments almost entirely in favour of a more traditional rock sound or traditional heavy metal elements. The single Move received moderate mainstream success, reaching No. 16 on Billboard's mainstream rock charts in early 2006. The album has three singles: "Move", "Absolute" and "Breathe You In". Of these, only "Move" received a music video. The band has said that the girl on the album's cover is the girl in the video for "Move", as shown in a picture on their MySpace.

gollark: A shame.
gollark: Wait, is the radar configured to provide X, Y, Z or just distance in this?
gollark: I do?
gollark: I should make this.
gollark: Or a drone, actually, but instead of hunting you it just follows you and makes annoying beepy noises.
