Haha, you quoted the wrong person. xD I was the one who said that part, not Becky.

Not that she isn't awesome. Even in my short time here I've come to figure out that she's awesome.

I seriously love every single song on the new CD - and the only other band that I can say that about is Sick Puppies . The lyrics and the music are just haunting, passionate, angry, beautiful.... there are some songs that could (and have ) brought tears to my eyes and then there are others that are a perfect venting outlet . You can really feel the pain and heartache in Benjamin's voice -- now they just need to do a show with Sick Puppies in my area and I will be a happy gal

Aaaah Donna stop, I want this CD.

One of my favortie bands of all time! I can't pick a favorite song, but Phobia is probably their best cd, followed by either Saturate or Dear Agony. Yes, the new cd is amazing as well! For anyone who hasn't heard much Breaking Benjamin, they are very different from cd to cd, but I'd recommend listening to Phobia and Dear Agony. It really depends on your music preferences, Saturate is their heaviest, followed by probably Dear Agony, We Are Not Alone, and then Phobia, but I think Phobia probably has their best composed songs, but Dear Agony comes really close. I listened to Dear Agony like 15 times once it came out haha, very good. My favorites off of the new cd are probably I Will Not Bow, Hopeless, and Fade Away.

My favorite songs from Dear Agony are "Anthem of the Angels", "Fade Away", and "Give Me A Sign".

[Slivarito]

Oh yeah that's right... Anthem of the Angels was awesome. Their orchestration in general is great. Dear Agony was pretty much good all the way through... they did not dissapoint.

Anthem Of The Angels, Lights Out and Fade away are my favorite. I Will Not Bow is still okay in my book but not one of my favorites.

Picked this album up not long after it came out, and it's been strapped to my side with a few others in my car and at work. Loving each song, especially Fade Away, Hopeless, Dear Agony and Lights Out (maybe I should just list the whole record). My little sister is becoming a music rocker chick, and I'm adding to it introducing her to more music including this album. It's on a long list of my collection she needs to listen to. One of her nicknames is "little sparrow" as I'm "teaching" (more like throwing at her) more bands and music, which she's loving...she didn't know who Kurt Cobain was....it was a cry for help. She's enjoyiong it now. BB is from a town not too far from us, so I'm hoping their current tour comes by for us to catch a show as I've been wanting to see them live.

It's a good suggestion! Good thing she's already a fan of a few BB songs, as well as Flyleaf, Papa Roach and Puddle of Mudd...as well as a few others. I'm so proud thus far... It's really funny when she's listening to something in my car and she's like...dude I've heard this before, wait that's that band???...I always laugh and then point her in the direction to the album in the car/apt or to itunes. I've directed her to WMMR in Philly, but I don't think she's listened to the station too much as of yet. Baby steps...

Have any of you noticed that they clean his voice up in the studio more and more on each album? I heard their live dvd, and his voice sounded like they were re-recording Saturate, even on songs like The Diary of Jayne. His voice just sounds different.

And on the new album, he sings a little lower and a LOT cleaner. Oh well.

I love What Lies Beneath
And Home

[Slivarito]

Yeah from what I heard, they are way different live. I haven't seen them live yet, but I'd like to. Yeah Saturate in general was a SICK cd, I'm suprised at how few people know it.

[Donna]

It's killing me that they have no dates listed in my area at all .. and they are from around here ! I'm going to keep hoping though .

[Julie]

I know! Thankfully they only started touring the new album, and I'm waiting for spring tour dates to start being announced (for both BB and other bands).
