2 stars Some bias in this review as I heard Forevermore before the Breath of Life (Abridged). To be fair, this review is largely a comparison of the two albums.

The first almost half of it is very similar to Forevermore. A different name here and there, and a bit trimmed (which is done well, actually). Then it diverges when it transitions straight into Love Made a Way (prelude). For me, that skipped too many great songs - Bully, Rainbow Sky (very Beatle-y, which won't surprise any long-time fans), and the World We Used to Know.

I do love the variation on The Greatest Story Never Ends. Otherwise, you're just not getting the full experience. If you're a fan of the band, why not more?!
