Breaking Benjamin has been there pretty much my whole Life, they have gotten me through almost all the hard times i've had, when i woke up and saw a notification that they had finally released something again, i was crying for a good hour, they just feel like home and comfort, love the reaction 🤍
@@Mommy_Brim That's genuinely beautiful. I can definitely relate to that. It's so interesting how their music has been the soundtrack to most of my life at this point.
@PeterCleff of course, I feel like I've found a fun channel with this video. I'm glad I got to watch it 🤘 and definitely, breaking benjamin is like that gateway drug into metal and rock that ends up just sticking around and you can never get enough of haha
I remember staying up late and I was on TH-cam then I saw breaking Benjamin with a new song I ran to my brothers room and me and him were screaming and jamming to this song it was so much fun 😂😂😂
Awesome!! I can feel that (my brothers and I all love them too)...a good brother is one of life's greatest gifts...that and a new BB track after 5+ yrs 🤣
@@ordinaryriffboi900 I appreciate it man! I mostly only reply to songs that I know will get me excited. I do think it leads to the most enjoyable videos.
@@PeterCleff i have a friend and i told her dang im getting a continuation of Phobia/Dear Agony vibe from the song and she gave me a startled look and was like yk now that you point it out i cant unhear it
@@PeterCleff im stoked for whatever they have planned ive been a fan ever since i was old enough to listen to music and understand the themes behind them
Like I said, they're like that Danny Davito meme where he's in the movie theater crying and just softly utters "I get it" They're probably the band I'll force my kids to listen to🤣
My taste in music has evolved a lot since i first got into rock music, i went from Punk Rock as a child, to Metalcore and Power Metal now (i´m 29), but when i first listened to BB in the soundtrack of Halo 2, i really like that song, then i listen to The Diary Of Jane and i totally fell in love with that sound, and they´ve been my favorite band since then. I was so happy when my favorite band returned with Dark Before Dawn that i have a son named Benjamin xD. So happy they keep making music and people are giving the love they deserve. Great reaction man, i sub :)
Me Even before that song. i discovered them in their second album phobia with the soundtrack of NASCAR 07 for Xbox , the diary of Jane that was included in that Game and here i am now (with 27) loyal fan to the end
So first off, thanks for the sub! And then, we pretty much have the exact same story when it comes to the evolving taste. I'm also 29 and our generation definitely got some of the best musical queues from video game soundtracks. Halo 2, The Tony Hawk games, Burnout. Some really nice heavy tracks for us to sink our teeth into.
First video of you I see, and everything you mentioned about BB, you liking the melodic cleans over harsh vocals and overtime liking harsh more and more is exactly how i developed my tastes with BB being my intro. Loved it. You earned a sub
So firstly, much appreciated for the sub! And then, I definitely think there's a lot to say for learning to love harsh vocals. It's an aquired taste, and people tend to initially reject things that go against their comfort zones. So micro-dosing harsh vocals is definitely something I recommend to people who want to get into metal, or have friends who they want to play music to.
Wow. Honestly, I think this review is biased. And I can't take it seriously. You obviously went into this wanting to love it. Otherwise the review would have been more genuine.
Love this, Breaking Benjamin is savage, people who listen to the same ole same ole don't understand until you play music you might not hear how complex their music is it has perfect layering.
Dramatic is definitely a good word for it. If you want another good band with some of those vibes, check out Within Temptation. Heavy music with orchestral elements and almost operatic vocals.
the bit where you talk about clean vocals reminded me of the band RED, it has a similar blend of melodic clean with screaming, but with more of a larger than life powerful theme with orchestral instruments too, as well as some synth. Of beauty and rage is a perfect album to look at
That's an excellent comparison! Thank you for reminding me that RED exists. A dearly departed friend of mine loved that band, so they always bring back good memories for me. I'll probably be listening to them for the rest of the day!
@@holleyz713 So, as much as you're probably right about it not being the heaviest, it's definitely one of their heavier tracks as compared to the hits that most people associate them with. Fans know they have deep cute that go nice and hard, but the majority of their hits lean a bit more rock. So this is pretty hardcore for them.
Yes, this is a single off their upcoming album they've been working on. If I had to guess, it'll probably come out in early 2025, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
@@jt9411 That is excellent news honestly. I'm always happy to wait as long as they need. I know how long it takes to make an album. If it's anything like this one, It'll be incredible.
@@Tedagens7168 man I wish I could have seen a band like this in a small venue before they got big. I guess it goes to show you never know where your local band will go🤣
@@PeterCleff I wonder exactly how they got signed/promoted? I know from being in the area, the big FM radio station 97.9 , pushed them a lot. BTW, on the side bar suggestions while watching your video, these guys came up, ever seen their vids DYSTOPICA cover FREE WHEEL BURNING. nice cover th-cam.com/video/0b44dR2amng/w-d-xo.html
@@Tedagens7168 I would also love to know the exact story, but I do know that in the rock and alternative scene, usually good music gets rewarded eventually. So I'm not shocked they made it big.
Ive been a breaking ben fan for a long time i found out about them in 2011 when they were on a hiatus but I got a band recommendation for you check out pay money to my pain, if you like this style of song the song from here to somewhere might be up your alley or weight of my pride thats another song to check out.
I wouldn't call it 'heavy' but their first album, saturate, was pretty "hard". IMO ,back then, BB and a few other bands were beginning to re-introduce people (as in the radio listening public) to hard rock after all that whiney boy sh1t from the 90's. I worked in the Scranton PA area at the same time, before they got 'noticed' and were mainly playing local live clubs (there are videos on YT, check things like 'breaking bad live at tinks entertainment scranton pa' or 'the staircase Pittston PA'). Their music, along with other local bands like Lifer, was all over the place, couldn't walk down a Scranton street without hearing something from SATURATE playing from some window somewhere cool times in a sh1t city 😆
That's honestly so cool! You touch on a good point. The hard vs. Heavy thing is a spectrum that I find myself debating a lot. That being said, It's so cool to be reminded that our favourite bands also played pub gigs before people noticed them.

Same bro.
Me to. Since i have 10 and i discovered them and now i am 27 and here i am. Ioyal fan to the end 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻. Definitively in My top 8 of all time
Love the video man, Breaking Benjamin has been one of my favorite bands for most of my life and this song is such a banger.
Thanks man! I've been really enjoying these reactions/reviews. I have managed to only choose bangers so far🤣

love your energy dude, the song is a banger 🔥
@@ordinaryriffboi900 I appreciate it man! I mostly only reply to songs that I know will get me excited. I do think it leads to the most enjoyable videos.
At least someone else is with me on the Phobia/Dear Agony vibe that come with this song
@@Neil_Nunez for sure. I just couldn't unhear it.
@@PeterCleff i have a friend and i told her dang im getting a continuation of Phobia/Dear Agony vibe from the song and she gave me a startled look and was like yk now that you point it out i cant unhear it
@Neil_Nunez absolutely! That era of BB holds up so well. I'm really excited for this new album.
@@PeterCleff im stoked for whatever they have planned ive been a fan ever since i was old enough to listen to music and understand the themes behind them
BB gives you EXACTLY what you want....and leaves you wanting more!! Ben is awesome!!
Like I said, they're like that Danny Davito meme where he's in the movie theater crying and just softly utters "I get it"

That's a really good comparison. Still familiar, but packing a way harder punch.

@@notchjohnson4351 you nailed it. There's a bunch of tiny details you might miss entirely on your first listen.
Same, BB was definitely one of the main bands that got me into heavier music. Even in metal, i like the more dramatic sound like BB
Dramatic is definitely a good word for it. If you want another good band with some of those vibes, check out Within Temptation. Heavy music with orchestral elements and almost operatic vocals.
Man, your energy is perfect hahaha.
You reacted exactly as I did and I love the track for the same reasons
@@craigus1991 Haha thank you🤣This band definitely knows how to get the vibes out of me!
the bit where you talk about clean vocals reminded me of the band RED, it has a similar blend of melodic clean with screaming, but with more of a larger than life powerful theme with orchestral instruments too, as well as some synth. Of beauty and rage is a perfect album to look at
also the last chorus where he briefly goes into a falcetto on 'call' hits so well
That's an excellent comparison! Thank you for reminding me that RED exists. A dearly departed friend of mine loved that band, so they always bring back good memories for me. I'll probably be listening to them for the rest of the day!
It might be my favorite part of the song. I neglect to do that in my music, and I wont be sleeping on it any more.
Jasen, BB lead guitarist, was in Red, and still had songwriting credits on a couple albums after he left the band.
@pickboy77 wow, that's so cool. That happens more often than people think.
that breakdown is "upsettingly good"...ok that's awesome!! subbed brother!!
I couldn't find any other word to explain it🤣Thank you so much!
Superbe reaction!
@@VyceEcho many thanks! I'm really happy I was able to check it out today!
Heavy musically and emotionally. They do it better than any other band.
For sure! I immediately went back to listen to some of their older stuff after shooting this video🤣they're really one of the best bands.
I love it. Favorite band. But now imagine BB NOW with Phobia-Dear Agong drummer Chad Szeliga
Dream linup!
Mom reacts....
It brings back memories of when you grew up...,
@@Nannavanwyk That's so sweet! Thank you!
I'm convinced the record label paid several reactors to declare this the "heaviest BB song" because it's absolutely not.

No. Breaking the Silence, Wish I May, and Believe are the heaviest sir.
@@traviswilliams3366 all really solid songs for sure. Especially believe, I have to agree🤣that's one of their heaviest for sure.
