Just found this today after 3 years and had a listen. What a ****in brilliant album! I never aprreciated it before (I bought it purely for Since U Been Gone) with so many good tracks:

Since U Been Gone (obviously)
Behind These Hazel Eyes
Hear Me
You Found Me
Walk Away
Because of You

and so many others, the whole album does not have one dud track IMO

Deffinately her best album by fair although My December aint half bad either

Oh God this album is incredible. I think it was the first album I ever properly listened to straight through, my sister got it for Christmas when I was about 10 and I just played it over and over!

Still amazing to this day.

For me, there is no other album like Breakaway.

At best I usually find 3-4 songs that work for me but Breakaway is start to finish, perfection.

My favourite singles are Behind These Hazel Eyes and Gone, but listening through it all is a long dream!

I love Kelly, but I have to be honest and say this is not my favorite album by her. It has a few songs I love like Since U Been Gone and Behind these Hazel Eyes, but overall it has a few too many of the MOR type of ballads for me.
I prefer My December and All I Ever Wanted, because they both have more of the edgy rock driven songs.
I think All I Ever Wanted is her best. My December goes a little too edgy and harsh. All I Ever wanted is the perfect compromise between Breakaway and My December. I think it should have been a much bigger seller than it was.

My December is actually my fave Kelly album but it's very dark!

It's weird because I bought this album of the strength of 'Since You Been Gone' and I think 'Because Of You', can't remember as it was ages ago. It's not normally my sort of thing. I'm more into R&B and Dance etc. But this is a really good album. Beautiful Disaster is really good too. I haven't played this album in years. Might give it a play through soon.

Its a great album, from maybe the one and only true talent that has come out of reality TV singing shows.
I love the title track, something that really gets me inside when I hear it.
But the whole album is good, an album that you could play in 10 years time and it would still sound fresh and enjoyable.

I love Breakaway. I think the problem with a lot of pop albums is that they sound like a collection of random songs. Whereas Breakaway sounds like a proper album. If that makes sense.

It's a weird one, cos it's got a mixture of excellent tracks, and some real duff ones. There's no in between.

The best tracks are...

Never Again
Maybe
Sober
Irvine (+ Chivas)
Judas
Hole
How I Feel

But then these ones are a bit crap:

One Minute
Yeah
Can I Have A Kiss
Don't Waste Your Time (God knows why this was released and not Judas)
Be Still

I'd definitely get it though, for £2.75 it's an absolute bargain.

Awh, I absolutely loved this album! I haven't listened to it in ages but it's still there on my iPod! 2003/4 was the year I first properly got into music and this album has a lot of nostalgic values for me :') Behind These Hazel Eyes, Gone, Because of You and Addicted are my favourites

A lot of Kelly fans rate it as her best album. Breakaway is more commercial, but I don't think My December is too different from it. The record company were never behind it, so it was doomed to fail from the start. It's my favourite Kelly album, so I'd recommend you give it a go.
