Shazam's Review
Irish indie rockers The Script released their debut self-titled album in 2008. One of the long-player's highlights is 'Breakeven', which served as the third single and was instrumental in breaking the band overseas. Lead singer Danny O'Donoghue's rough, breathy vocals shine on the track, and are well complemented by lustrous guitar passages and emotive harmonies. 'Breakeven' was The Script's first single to crack the US Hot 100, and also served as their commercial breakthrough in Australia, peaking at Number 3. Much of the lyrical content of The Script's self-titled album is very much reflective of Generation Y and its values, and 'Breakeven' serves as a perfect example ('I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing/Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in'). This ability to capture the attention of critics and the public alike with a unique musical approach and relatable lyrics has resulted in a very successful album campaign for The Script, with huge UK sales and an impressive international fanbase. ~ John Rowley Copyright (c) Shazam Entertainment Limited 2009.

With Christmas round the corner, clichéd stories about broken relationships seem to be everywhere, consumed as strange comfort sources for lovers of unadventurous musical experiences. The latest of them is perpetrated by another of the recent World Music Awards winners: The Script, celebrating the gong as best Selling Irish act with a third slice of polished boredom taken from the trio's eponymous debut. "Breakeven" is a far more ordinary affair than their former, breakthrough singles; an adult ballad that confirms the band as the not-too distant cousins of OneRepublic and other chart-teasing bands, halfway between blue-eyed soul and old-fashioned AOR.
