 LOVE IT May 27, 2010

This is on of my favorite cds. In fact all of the Breaking Benjamin albums are amazing! I just started listening to them last year and continue to like them more every time I hear their music!
Why isn't this band even bigger? May 14, 2010

As crazy as this sounds, I think my mom should have heard of Breaking Benjamin. They are that good. They should be that big. But she hasn't. So obviously something is wrong.
I actually saw them live back in '03 on tour with Cold and Godsmack. We actually arrived at the concert a little late so their music just kind of ended up being background to our getting situated, finding seats, etc. I had pretty much written them off as radio trash. Boy was I wrong...
Here it is, years and years later, and Breaking Benjamin has suddenly become one of my favorite bands of all time (along with other timeless bands that are my favorites like Tool, The Tea Party, Muse..). I wish I had paid more attention to them back when I saw them briefly in concert, I could be a long-time fan. But here I am trying to play catch-up. Let me just say this band is truly amazing. There is not a single song by this band that I do not like. I've not been able to say that about a 'newer' band in a LONG time... they truly do not have a bad song. It's like they don't know how to make one. Beautifully put together, lyrics poetic, excellent studio mastery...
Just amazing.
Breaking Benjamin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a bad song on this album! 5-STARS like ALL their albums!!

Honestly, like all their other albums, their music is average and almost always sounds the same.
This entire cd will make the playlist April 25, 2010

I have all of their cd's and this is by far the best. With each of their previous releases, as with most cd's, there are always one or two songs that you just aren't crazy about. Not with this one! Every song is outstanding, and at the end, you can't believe that it's over so quickly. But that's the point; to leave the listener wanting more, and in this case they have done exactly that.
 This is not the Breaking Benjamin I know April 4, 2010

So I've been a Breaking Benjamin fan for a few years, and I was honestly excited for this CD. But I knew something was wrong when I saw it was titled "Dear Agony," and what I was feared was happening to one of my favorite bands became a clear fact. They'd sold out to the undying masses of pre-teen girls who want to hear a guy be "soft and heartfelt." But those are just the lyrics.
Granted, there are quite a few good, heavy riffs on this albums that I do enjoy, but they almost always come in on the beginning of the songs, and then just teeter off onto these melodic parts that sound like they'd fit better in some alt rock song, not in what I've come to know as Breaking Benjamin. Songs like "Give me a sign," "Into the Nothing," "What lies beneath," "Anthem of the Angels," and "Dear Agony" just utterly destroy this album for me, and do their best to persuade me to skip over the saving graces of this album, namely "Fade Away," "I Will Not Bow," and "Lights Out."
My problem with that first group of songs is that they completely diverge from what I want from a band, they stay to their original sound in a song, for the most part. For example, "Lights Out" starts heavy in your face, stays heavy in your face, and ends heavy in your face. "Into the Nothing" starts with a heavy distorted-as-hell riff, and then goes into these whiny lyrics combined with what I can only describe as a riff I would expect a 12 year old emo kid to come up with after he breaks up with his girlfriend. It's false advertising.
I know on past records, they have had at least one song which one could call a "slow" or a "lighter" song, and that's perfectly fine. If Disturbed can write a song like "Darkness" and then still come out with an album like Indestructible, I don't care. But this is taking it one step too far. Had they written more songs like "Fade Away," or in other words, written songs like they used to, I wouldn't consider this album such a disappointment.
Until their next album comes out and pulls a 180 degree turn, Breaking Benjamin is a band on hiatus circa 2006, and someone is just parading around with their name.
