every breaking benjamin album and why they are all good, including my thoughts: a thread
saturate (2002)
- post grunge royalty
- nirvana influence is real
- a POWERFUL first album
- polyamorous, home and water are my top three songs from the record
we are not alone (2004)
- some CLASSIC songs on this record, so cold & sooner or later to name a few
- personal favourites include forget it & break my fall
- a great sophomore album
- still some grunge influence but with More Emo (ben was not okay)
phobia (2006)
- when breaking benjamin hit the mainstream with the songs diary of jane & breath
- some powerful lyricism involving fighting your inner demons (at least that's how I interpret the record)
- favourite songs include topless, until the end & here we are
dear agony (2009)
- my first bb album
- ben's first album sober, the album cover is even a scan of his brain
- darker lyrics, but in my opinion more cohesively composed than previous albums
- favourite songs include give me a sign, hopeless & into the nothing
shallow bay: best of breaking benjamin (2010)
- The Album Who Shall Not Be Named
- the album that caused all the legal drama
- some great unheard songs, even covers (who wants to live forever is almost better than the original by queen)
- still recommend listening to it
dark before dawn (2015)
- when breaking benjamin announced they were coming back from hiatus I legitimately yelled
- a GREAT hiatus breaking album
- this album feels personal and deep, dark but hopeful
- ashes of eden, bury me alive, closer to heaven all stand out
- 10/10
ember (2018)
- rock isn't dead baby
- the ANGST of this album is so real
- also the music videos are fucking powerful
- personal favourites include feed the wolf, torn in two & blood
aurora (2020)
- just including this one because I'm so hyped
- acoustic breaking benjamin classics including some new songs
- far away is a beautiful song
- why haven't I pre-ordered yet, I need to
I will update on aurora when it releases but breaking benjamin has been my favourite band since I was in my early teens. they've kept their sound for so long while releasing so many good albums. I'm a big fan. I even have a tattoo of their logo. that concludes the thread for now!
