Breaking Benjamin

[Guest Grev]

Who out there thinks that the new Breaking Benjamin CD Phobia is AMAZING!?

BB is a band that is truely superb and gets better every album.

So lets hear some feedback on the new album, be it good or evil.

It's good, but i prefer Saturate to any of their albums so far. I just think it's more of their rock roots than their pop/rock upcoming, though Diary of Jane does show a huge focus on their guitar playing as do many of their songs. I like Breaking Benjamin, probably one of the bands i like the most since their first album. Them and 10 Years.

I can't get into Breaking Benjamin for two reasons. First off, THEY DON'T EVEN WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS. Secondly, they sound like every other "edgier" pop rock band out there. While Saturate was their most interesting album, it still lacks anything interesting or new. Yawn.

They do write their own songs, they collaborate with other people but they do write.
Ben wrote almost all of Saturate, and they wrote more as a group on We are not Alone.

In fact Ben co-wrote with Billy Corgan on Forget it and Rain.

Phobia was the same cowriting effort, Ben wrote Diary of Jane after watching an episode of Cold Case with a Jane Doe.

He wrote this song to apply to all the Jane Does out there, he said every guy knows a girl they want to reach out to. He figured people would relate to it if it was a name that meant someone was unknown. You replace the name Jane with the person you think it applies to.

In fact Ben wrotes almost 10 different versions for each song since he is such a perfectionist in how they sound. Then he can pick the best and make a song he thinks is as good as it can be. Diary of Jane had four diffrent melodic versions.

So yes, they do write their own music.

There are alot of bands that do kind of sound like Breaking Benjamin but the reason they get popular and BB really don't is because BB changes their sound alot. I have loved them since Saturate. He is my fav singer and I think he is very talented.

I love all types of music from Tristania to Bryan Adams; so for someone who loves almost every genre of music their ever changing style is a plus.

[font=tahoma]I haven't actually gotten around to hearing any of their new songs other than Diary of Jane, but i don't have any doubts that i'd like it since i have almost every one of their songs from Saturate and WANA on my MP3.

From what i hear though, it seems to be very good and i'll probably get to listening to em sometime today. Still got plenty of room on my Ipod left.[/font]
