Breaking Benjamin

[IAceI]

I've been looking over topics recently to do with music and have saw that Fitzy generally likes to bring up Breaking Benjamin. This isn't a suck up in anyway, but because Fitzy is highly regarded for his music, in my opinion anyways, i checked them out, lo-and-behold, i like them. Now, i have only heard around four songs, three of which are on the We Are Not Alone album, which i recently purchased on amazon.

My question is, what do you think of them, and should i try and get the Saturate album too?

I like them, So Cold is awesome and Simple Design is pretty good too. To get a full opinion of them, I'm gonna have to hear more, but I like what I'm hearing so far.

It's not something I would personally listen to, but I don't mind it either.

I love the band. 'Away' is my favorite song.

EDIT: Add Polyamorous as my second favorite.

Meh, heard a few songs, a mate sent me. Just above average IMO. Nothing amazing stands out. Not really the kind of thing that interests me, I just find them a little boring.

[KRC]

I listened to some of their songs including 'So Cold' and I really liked them. I'd buy some of their stuff.

[Hellfire]

I like them. In my opinion, they are one of the best new bands that have come up in the past few years. If I made a top ten list, they would be #3 or so.

Same here. I saw them perform on Conan not long ago, They aren't exactly bad but they aren't anything to write home about either IMO.

Well really love there music I first heard them as a part of the Evanescence show in Ottawa here. So Cold is an awesome song but not sure if it is my favorite.

I first listened to them because Kerrang (ugh) compared them to Tool. Not bad, don't remind me of Tool at all - they remind me of Onesidezero if you've heard them. Not bad in all, have a couple of decent tunes (So Cold, Breakdown)

Wait. You're serious? Who the fuck compares BREAKING BENJAMIN to TOOL?!

And Breaking Benjamin is just another quick cash-in on the Hard Rock Explosion of the 00s.

Tristy twas Kerrang magazine, the worst rockzine over here in the UK. A magazine that makes Mortis the fucking gay troll take bubble baths, or Danni Filth eat raw BBQ for their picture pages. The magazine has no integrity and will pretty much cover anyone who flirts with the charts - Good Charlotte, Rasmus, Linkin Park. Idiots. The fucking lot of them.

Tool is one overrated band.

They're not horrible, but "So Cold" has to be one of the worst songs this year. Not to mention it's a cheap rip off of an awesome Static-X song called "Cold." I can listen to them as long as their not stealing riffs from much better bands.
