**Official Breaking Benjamin Appreciation Thread**

[Milenk]

I rate this song somewhere between 'solid' and 'quite solid.'

I saw these guys like three years ago open for someone, and I thought they were gonna suck, but they were charismatic and kinetic. They didn't talk or say shit, just played their music. It looks as though they've just gotten stronger. It's sort of dark, standard rock but not overblown. They're from Wilkes-Barre, PA, which is smaller industrial city. It might sound too standard for the Radiohead crew, but when you see them in concert you realize they've got their formula right.

Listen, enjoy, appreciate.

...people appreciate this band?

[JTR178]

You won't find many in this forum that appreciate this band.They get put into the same group as nickelback in many circles.

Regardless, I'm a pretty big fan, but look were I'm from. Just saw them on the 21st here in Wilkes-Barre to end their latest headlining tour. Great show!

Saturate is my favorite album, but I can honestly say there is not one song that I dislike in their entire catalog.


Polyamorous is still my favorite. It's the song that started it all for Breaking Benjamin.

I'm from PA, and I actually never got into them. They have a few good songs, but nothing I will seek out to listen to. Many of my friends like them though

I appreciate the fact that they suck

[Corduroy Boy]

Good luck with this thread. They have a few good songs.

I think they've got a few good song but other than that they really aren't anything too spectacular. They are much better than Nickelback though.

[kittensXLI]

No thanks.

I <3 this thread

I'm gonna go ahead and kinda disagree with you here, I think they're talentless assclowns..but to each his own. I certainly won't put people down for their tastes.

BB is Back

Breaking Benjamin announced two comeback shows Tuesday — both sold out.

The band will perform this Friday and Saturday at Gators Pub and Eatery, 75 Main St., Luzerne, and tickets sold out hours after the announcement around noon on the band’s Facebook page.

Show promoter John Phillips, of MCR Productions, said Tuesday he expected tickets to sell out by early evening. About 700 tickets were on sale for each show — Saturday’s sold out around 6 p.m. with Friday’s selling out soon after.

Breaking Benjamin reemerged in August with a new lineup joining lead singer Ben Burnley — bassist Aaron Bruch of Wilkes-Barre; guitarist Jason Rauch of Nashville; drummer Shaun Foist, a native of Middletown, Ohio; and guitarist Keith Wallen of Los Angeles. The band teased fans with the news by sharing a video of the members playing together, on social media.

Breaking Benjamin played its last major hometown show in March 2010 to a sold-out crowd at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township.

The band signed with Hollywood Records in 2002 and racked up three platinum-selling albums and multiple top-20 singles throughout its initial run.
