Hold Your Breath (album)
''Hold Your Breath'' is the third studio album by the American Christian metal band, Embodyment. Critical reception Jason Taylor of AllMusic says with ''Hold Your Breath'', Embodyment directs "their sound toward passionate alternative rock", and compared to past releases, "Embodyment targets a much more mainstream version of heavy rock." However, he concludes that ''Hold Your Breath'' "is missing that extra something to claim it is an outstanding album" and "fails to meet expectations."

He claims "the material present here is perhaps the band's most mature offering to date." ''Hold Your Breath'' is "a worthy purchase for anyone looking for something a bit different from cookie cutter emocore or the mainstream ...
