Ok i'm not really down with music lingo, so could someone please explain what a breakdown is?
kikanjuuneko:
In the context of hardcore, particularly metal-influenced hardcore and metalcore that came during the late 90's and forward, a breakdown is a part in a song where the song slows down, usually punctuated by rhythmical playing of power chords accented by double kick drums (producing a sound which has been onomatopoeically defined as "chugga"). A good example is Unearth's 'Endless', where it occurs at both 0:55 and 2:47.
Me? I'm a sucker for a good breakdown every now and then, but songwriting is what matters the most to me.

Definately not killrockstars now. Slow as hell just in processing. Secretly canadian may be slow too but I did not do priority mail with them so I never expected it soon anyways.
KharBevNor:
Breakdown's are all right, but a good solo always beats a good breakdown. It's the one aspect of Arch Enemy's musical progression I really didn't like, their increasing infatuation with semi-breakdowns instead of solos, especially as Michael Amott is a really awesome guitarist.
