Breakaway (Big Pig song)

In 2004, Clem Bastow of Stylus Magazine wrote that while Big Pig's "Breakaway" is likely "the least 'rock' of all the songs from Excellent Adventure," it incites a sense of excitement. He added that the song is "a dodgy, quasi-deep (see: made up language) throwaway hit" from an otherwise obscure band clad in matching dresses, "yet doesn't that line, 'All my life I’ve wanted to fly/Like the birds that you see way up in the sky', set to that pulsating proto-industrial clang, tap into that universal wish for freedom, for super-human powers, for that which we cannot have? The answer is, of course, yes." ==Track listings==
