On their debut album, Come & See,
Manbreak plays like a
Rage Against the Machine with more hooks and a better pop sense. Even if the group's lyrics aren't as politically charged, they have a knack for fusing pummeling heavy metal and relentless hip-hop beats, resulting in music that is muscular and bone-rattlingly powerful. They may have problems writing a consistently compelling set of songs, but the best moments on Come & See indicate the band's potential. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
