The Leaves are to Sigur Rós as Coldplay is to Radiohead -- the Icelandic band traffics in similarly epic rock, but packages it in a safe, less challenging form for the masses. That's not to say that Breathe isn't good -- on the contrary, it's a propulsive album that moves from deep atmospheres ("I Go Down") to a shimmering, Doves-like groove ("Catch") to the best type of Coldplay balladry (the title track). But, despite solid songwriting, glimmering production, and a broad palette of emotions, Breathe shows the Leaves' potential more than anything else. This record seems destined to be lauded and quickly forgotten -- like Starsailor's Love Is Here and JJ72's self-titled debut -- until the band can prove itself to indie hipsters and critics with an innovative sophomore release. It's simply just not as striking as its peers, from the Doves' two brilliant albums to Sigur Rós' mind-blowing indie prog. ~ Charles Spano, Rovi
