Dutch rock quartet Fervid followed the rules for making an album about a nasty end to a relationship: anger, grief, failing to understand why, getting closure, it's all there. Break Up is together with in basic riffs, with a few prog, New Wave, and grunge vignettes. The stand-out track She Knows I'm Right packs the punch they are trying to get on tape, with a slowed down chorus hammering home the message.
This band has been chewing at the bit for a couple of years now, getting closer to recording the sounds they are hearing inside their heads. It's a slow process, but Break Up is an album that is pointing in the right direction. Give them another year or so and they will get it right.
