    BB is a great band. I really like We Are Not Alone. Is their older album as good? Who likes BB in here?

    I prefer their debut album, Saturate, more, because it's heavier and more real, as opposed to We Are Not Alone, which is really, really geared toward radio.

    I love Saturate, but I haven't heard We Are Not Alone. Based on what Will said, I probably won't buy it.

    The only really good songs on We Are Not Alone are "So Cold," "Simple Design," "Firefly" and "Breakdown." The others aren't that good. It's a great album, but it's pretty bad compared to Saturate.

    I saw Breaking Benjamin in concert at a rock festival on September 19 and they were probably the best of the ten bands there. They really get into the crowd and their music is pretty energetic. "Firefly" and "So Cold" are awesome songs by Breaking Benjamin.

    all of saturate and all of were not alone is really good, yet some of the last songs on we are not alone are really generic and unoriginal. breakdown's lyrics SUCK and believe's lyrics suck too. i would recommend saturate because all the songs are good, and shallow bay and polyamorous are two of the best songs ever

    Their peformance on Conan was impressive, it sounded just like the studio track of "So Cold".

    They're one of the most amazing live bands on the face of the planet.

    I'd love to see them, but i'm in the UK. I don't think the album was even released over here. I imported mine. I guess that's another band to add to the list of bands i'll probably never see due to the crappy UK market.

    Try working with them. ;) Before they recorded Saturate, they played a few concerts around here (they live 20 minutes away) and one concert thing I worked sound for, they played and they were amazing!

    I like We Are Not Alone more than Saturate. I never was a big fan of Saturate, but We Are Not Alone is one of my faves.

    I am really into Breaking Benjamin at the moment.They are a really cool band but the albums haven't been released over here(the UK) i plan on requesting them for my birthday. How long does it take for imported albums to arrive?

    They're my second favorite band. I love both their albums. So Cold has been getting alot of playtime on radios but they definately dont get the credit they deserve. They're a perfect blend between hard metal and some softer alternative cores.
