    The one in freedom used to make me go crazy. Teenage years, good times.
    I definitely like the one in no one knows (qotsa) after the solo

    I'd say No Attention by SG for me. The part where he screams "no attention!" and it breaks down into the slower tempo is orgasmic.

    Dude...that is a classic song right there and amazing breakdown.

    I also love the "Where the fuck were you" part of Somewhat Damaged by NIN.

    I also saw Geek USA...so true...

    7 Words by the Deftones has two of them. One in the middle that starts "squeal like a pig..." and then at the end of the song theres a guitar breakdown.

    So kickass.

    What's your favorite most badass breakdown in the middle of a song?

    I will start will Tool's 'The Grudge'

    and sinking...deeper...

    *explosion*


    my first thought was the end of Tools Anema , where you think its gonna go really heavy but then it goes all entrancing and you feel like waves are washing over you, also 3rd eye every time it switches to "so glad to see you, ive missed you so much"
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    "My Body Is A Cage" - Arcade Fire

    Right after the 2 minute mark, when Win sings "My Body Is A........" and then all the instruments come in. It's like the whole song is a build up to that moment. It's chilling, beautiful, and explosive all at the same time.

    Bleed Together by Soundgarden. When they kick into gear for the outtro is awesome.

    Billy Idol's "Eyes Without A Face."

    The breakdown (if you want to call it that) is actually the hardest part of the song, when the synth fades out and the guitar kicks in. "When you hear the music..."
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.
