Summary: solid 3rd cd from bb
Comment: this cd is good and has great songs like diary of jane, dance with the devil and unknown soldier but seems to be lacking something. i dont know what but i like their 2 other cds better. this cd doesnt have enough variety and the singing changed too much. i enjoyed them before, they didnt need to change so much but it is what it is. still a solid release and breaking benjamin fans will still like this cd.

Summary: BREAK!
Comment: Breaking benjamin are one of the best i don't listen to bands like seether,puddle of mud,or staind i listen to heavier stuff than this but breaking benjamin are different they are heavier than all those bands.Saturate was probably heavier than this one im not sure but this is still good i love ben's screams he screams more in saturate but this has heavier sounds.If your a fan of these guys you will love this and if you like metal or hard rock check it out,yes they are metal for those of you who just called them rock.This album is great can't choose between saturate and this one cause of course i like it heavy and we are not alone was awesome just not as heavy as saturate and phobia.You might say im overwellming with my heavy but hey im metal.This is for fans of tool, nirvana,and just those who want something heavier than that.

Summary: Breaking Benjamin's Extraordinary Release "Phobia"
Comment: I was very impressed with the opening to Breaking Benjamin's newest album 'Phobia'. That I was startled and surprised in a big way is an understatement. The songs 'Diary Of Jane' and 'Breathe' are two of the most powerful opening songs to an album I have come across in a long, long time. The Intro which is 1 min and spare change leads into these songs and paves the 'atmosphere' of the album well. It is a dark melodic sojourn through love, darkness, pain and the inner sanctum of one's battles between heaven and hell.
The opening 3 songs are the darkest in a refreshing way. 'You' is a hard rock ballad. All songs have great accompanied lyrics and is a testament that the songs have come deep down from the reflections of this band on their lives and experiences. Breaking Benjamin in my eyes have cemented their place in the progressive hard rock scene.
This album is a must for all Breaking Benjamin fans if not for the hard rock beats but that this is a big step forward in the evolution of the B/B sound. This band can become and are on their road to becoming this decades 'newest Godsmack'. Another quality album and I cannot fault any song on this beaut album release.

Summary: Very Good
Comment: Breaking Benjamin I first heard from someone who kindly introduced me to their song Breath, and as I found myself listening to the song over and over, begged her for the entire album. No later did I buy my own copy.
Which is different for me, because bands in BB's vein certainly I never used to listen to, at least not all that much. But Phobia I instantly fell for. Diary of Jane, Until the End, Dance With the Devil, Here We Are, Had Enough and You Fight Me are the strongest tracks for me that I continually listen to.
Overall I think the lyrics are well- written, the songs do get stuck in your head quite easily, and each song stands out from the rest; not one of the tracks is easily forgettable. I love playing the whole album through.
A success of an album. Check out their older stuff too, there are some gems from their past as well. Though Phobia is certainly the one I would recommend above all of their albums.
4.5/5
