IDLE CURE - RARE Live version of "Breakaway"

Cool video! Idle Cure are one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. All their albums are great.

I found their last album to be superb, although if I remember rightly, not so many people liked that compared to their previous albums.

Agreed. I got it a couple years after their others and was surprised at how good it was. “The Only Thing” might be my favorite song from them. 

Just for kicks and and giggles, here’s how I rank their discography:

Tough Love
2nd Avenue
Eclipse
Inside Out
Idle Cure 

Love them all.

I like Idle Cure but they always felt a little too polished so hearing this with a rawer sound is cool.

One cool thing about Idle Cure is that their ballads are amazing. A lot of bands from that era have ballads I don’t mind skipping, but Idle Cure always had great ones.

I only have Inside Out and I agree on the polished aspect. I like it okay but I couldn't see myself picking up the rest, though I've considered it and even had them in a cart before. It makes sense that if you like what they do they'd have a great discography. They seem like a really solid band.

You might give 2nd Avenue a try. It rocks a bit harder than the others. 

I am not sure yet how I would rank their 5 albums. 
I like them all although I would consider "Inside Out" to be the weakest one and that would be ranked last.
The 1st one is more straight AOR than hard rock.  But like the Watchmen albums, it has some great songs amidst some filler.

2nd Avenue is my favorite of the ones I have.  I don't have Tough Love or the self-titled.

ANY live footage is cool because they almost never played live.

Yeah, there are several brilliant songs on the self-titled: Breakaway, Silent Hope, Come Back to Me, Overdrive, Come Alive. I just like their other albums slightly more as a whole.

Tough Love is my favorite, but 2nd Avenue is a close second. Monster hooks on that album.

Love Idle Cure. As most of christian bands I  enjoy, I can easily say that they are underrated, and even in the Christian metal market.

Inside Out is my favorite album, by a far cry.
Tough Love, probably my least favorite of them.

I love Idle Cure!!! Every album is great in its own way. My favorite album is a toss up between 2nd Avenue or Eclipse. Both are brilliant. But their other albums are chock full of great songs too.
