Breaking Benjamin - Ember (April 13th 2018)

Why is there no thread for the most consistent alt-rock/metal bands out there?

Just came out yesterday. Unsurprisingly sounds like the rest of their discography, which makes it another solid offering.

 

my favorite part about listening to Breaking Benjamin albums is analyzing the angsty lyrics. I try to keep count of the following phrases/words:

1. burn/fire
2. cold
3. hate
4. fight/fighting
5. forever
6. skin

My all-time favorite BB lyric is "I feel no fault for the fault I feel." It's poetry.

 

Not gonna lie, these guys have some bangers and the new album is really solid.

 

Haven’t listened to a BB song since high school.

 

If you listen to this album you'll feel like you're in high school again

 

Finally some new music on the horizon.

Breaking Benjamin Confirm They’re Working On Their First New Album In 5 Years: “We’ve Got A Lot Of Music Recorded”

 

We Are Not Alone remains my favorite from them and I think it's because it sounds like the album with the widest palette. I'd love if they took some swings with this next one.

 

I’ve come to realize that Breaking Benjamin are one of my all time favorite bands. They just write no-nonsense, quality hard rock songs and that’s it - and sometimes that’s all I need.

I hope they go in a Saturate direction and write a well rounded, varied album pulling from the strengths of all their albums.
