Had Enough - Breaking Benjamin. Is a song, that I go back to a lot, and it's from the same album. It has that same intensity vs melody, and he just continues to prove how good he is, at turning a phrase in his lyrics.
The only song I’m not a fan of is rain, I believe it’s off we are not alone, and one from they’re unreleased stuff called ladybug. But other than those 2 I love every song too. This is the band I can listen to on repeat and never get tired of!
Exactly! I'm a recent fan (1y6m) and I'm a fan from Avril since a long time ago and I can tell, yeah, she has bad songs and I'm talking the ones from the albums. BB don't have any bad songs, there's the ones that I like more but I like all of them, there's any song that I don't like from them.
Shit i was in my 18 when it came ou n i was born in 88 the rock bands n some pop bands n some country singers of that time from 80s to early 00s we had the pleasure of seeing hearing bands evolve n we loved them all linkin park really changed rock music forever Chester bennington left his imprint in rock history rip music nowadays r just half ass
BB has never been a “Christian” band. But some of their songs, especially some newer ones, have some religious vibes to them. Not explicitly. To me, it’s up to personal interpretation. The song Ashes of Eden is one that comes to mind.
yeah Breaking Benjamin isn't a christian band or even a contemporary band. Breaking Benjamin's music is about depression and addiction along many other things that deal with human problems.
But I think that Benjamin Burnley is a Christian and therefore, it might influences his lyrics. I mean, they collaborate and tour with some christian bands or artists.
He said he believes in a higher power and likes to think his grandpa or dad (forgot which one) is in a great place. He’s said in general that his friendship with former fly leaf singer Lacey sturm has opened his eyes to Christianity. I think he said something along the lines of she doesn’t force it on me, but they just talk about it and I think over the years, he’s become more open to in and realizes that (especially with his phobia of death) that he wants to believe he can end up somewhere good after he dies and in peace and happiness; and that’s essentially what heaven is. I’m a Christian. I love ben and the band, he’s amazing. I’m aware it’s not easy to go from not believing to just all of a sudden believing in something like that, but I know he’s become more aware to certain things and especially on his dear agony album after all the stuff he went thru like addiction etc etc, he just wants to be free and feel safe. That’s what you get with god by ur side. Ppl ain’t gon agree with me, that’s fine, not everyone is gonna be Christian or understand what it brings, but I’m sure he does and he’s more so believing in god, knows he’s there, maybe even prays sometimes, but I don’t think he’s a full Christian yet, and that’s fine. As long as he takes his time and he’s happy
Breaking Benjamin - Polyamorous really showcases the raw energy in Bens writing. One of my favorite songs from them. Given all their albums are bangers anyway.
Alex, in this song the "evil angel" is a representation of Ben's addiction to alcohol. Listen to it again with that context. It will make way more sense.👍
He has already done a reaction trilogy for the three Ember singles including Red Cold River. Hope you check those out. Pretty good impressions and insights that are even similar to mine
There's how i feel about So Cold... It's one of the first songs i heard from them... Haven't stopped listening to in 5 years (yes i only started listening to any rock music 5 years ago)
@@lonewolfe5960 So Cold was the first one I heard by them as well and it blew my mind. I always listened to rap, then i started listening to Skillet. And then somehow (I think my Skillet station on Pandora) put on a BB song and I was like man... this is the only rock I've heard that I like as much as Skillet. Been hooked on both ever since
Bro home is so good. Especially the end couple lyrics, it’s something I sing along to everytime. That album was perfect imo and represented BB perfectly but all their albums represent the different sides of him too
well since he has been sick for many years with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke%E2%80%93Korsakoff_syndrome if you want to look up what he’s got but he does have depression as well but from what I have gather he is like me and that is we won’t stop until we done what we love to do in this World even in his case he dies on the stage from his own words
Phobia came out as I was going through a really difficult time in my life. I listened to it non-stop for months. All of their work is incredible, but Phobia is something special for me. Thanks for all you put into these reactions, Alex!
Without you from the dear agony album …seriously has all the highlights you need . Breaking Benjamin is special man ! lifesaving and always staying in tune with today’s music
found them in about 2009-10ish through old modern warfare 2 sniper montages, erased is easily my favourite song, followed closely by losing you. criminally under-rated and i feel if they kept their original lineup they would have been more successful..
If there are any Breaking Benjamin songs I highly recommend, it would have to be Feed The Wolf, Blood, Psycho, The Dark of You, Close Your Eyes, Down, Ashes of Eden, Failure, Hollow, Great Divide, Blow Me Away ft. Valora, Give Me A Sign, Dance With The Devil, Had Enough, Until The End, and Without You.
I think people really sleep on their Album called Ember! It is such a great album! My personal favourite from it is Tourniquet! Would highly recommend giving it a listen
7:12 you remind me there's a BB song with title 'Forget it'. Softer melody than usuall from them but worth to check out. Also 'Better days' which is more like ballad.
Breaking Benjamin got me through a lot. They still help me especially since I got diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease. I relate so much to this song.
I’ve heard every single breaking Benjamin song and until the end is by far my favorite song, the chorus is simple but so strong and its helping me overcome my addiction
This entire album remains my all time favorite album. Benjamin was going through SEVERE alcoholism at this time, but his lyrics on this album are so poetic to anyone who was going through depression back then. I still to this day jam this album 20+ times a year, start to finish. In summation, DO A FULL ALBUM REACTION TO THE PHOBIA ALBUM
You genuinely can't go wrong with any breaking Benjamin song, if anything I'd probably look at some of their live performances with guest singers ! If you want to keep it studio friendly, had enough is on the same album but they recently released it as an acoustic track but have Adam frontier on the track as well and it's an amazing track that a lot of BB fans wanted to see, an produced track with Ben and Adam is next level
Love this song so much. But this song specifically I believe is about the “Evil Angel” who is represented on the album cover. In essence he’s the grim reaper but as an angel of death. He knows he’s dying and he’s not yet ready to go but if he’s going to he wants the Evil Angel to “help him survive here” and to “open his wings” for him to know he has comfort in death. Someone there for him as he’s passing. And I believe the “Birds of a feather, nothing but lies and crooked wings” is saying that traditionally that means you have people beside you that are supportive. But he’s saying that in his case these “birds of a feather” are liars and are faced hence the part of them having crooked wings.
You gotta do *Yours is an Empty Hope* by Nightwish if you haven't already; it's a master class in switching between heavy and melodic. And there's a bit of an Easter Egg in the chorus!
Just saw BB with Memphis May Fire and it was 🔥🔥🔥 for there music to be still played going on close to 20 years, speaks to the level of greatest this band has. With my dads passing recently, hearing Bens voice was so comforting. Been watching for a long time man, love the reactions like always🤘🏼✌️❤️
Im 35 and i rember hearing this song for the first time when i was 18 and it blew me away. Fast forward to 15 years later and i still can’t get over how good it is.
You can literally listen to any & every Breaking Benjamin song & I promise you will not be disappointed! Ben is just an amazingly talented man & he (& now the new members also) put their absolute heart & soul into everything they do & you can completely feel the emotion behind every one pf their songs. The band is simply perfection
I love your genuine reactions, but also breaking down lyrics and trying to put your spin on what you think they mean while at the same time keeping an open mind. And thanks for the constant positivity.
This video came up randomly in the recommended list. Awesome reaction. As for suggested Breaking Benjamin songs, "Never Again" is my absolute favorite song of theirs. "Ashes of Eden", "Here We Are", "Unknown Soldier", "Until The End", "Close Your Eyes", "Psycho", and "Dark Of You" are also some of my go to songs.
What lies beneath and Anthem of the aangels are both great ones too! These two songs have helped me through times more than I can count. The dark of you is another song that really deserves more credit than what it has gotten
this was my jam when matrix came out and people made music videos for it, you know, when youtube was better and not tied to big time corporations, it was this song and the song "So Cold". good times, atleast in youtube ways.
This is the first part of the Evil Angel storyline. Second part is Give me a sign. It's more sadder. Glad you're back to Breaking Benjamin,dude. My dad know Benjamin. He told me they went to school together. PS: Not only is this about depression,but it's also about the Evil Angel figure.
The band is from my area. They are not a Christan band....hey Alex check out a song called YOU by breaking Ben. Great reaction. Congrats on the new place
I'm from Russia. It's amazing to me that so many English speakers don't know about a band like Breaking Benjamin. This band became my favorite as soon as I heard it in 2006.
Hi Alex, I really enjoy watching your videos. I have severe chronic lower back and neck pain. Most nights I can't sleep because of my chronic pain. I binge watch your videos when I can't sleep. Watching your videos helps me forget about my chronic pain. Thank you for making your videos.
All the following are songs from BB Hollow, Breaking the Silence, Blood (highly recommend), Breath, Had Enough, Rain (both versions), Simple Design, Skin
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 Hell Yeah!!! Love BB!! I'm going to recommend a song I rarely see people ask for but is phenomenal. Now you're going to have to search a bit. But it's called "Sooner or Later". 😉❤✌
Love Breaking Benjamin because of deep sense in their songs,as you noticed - the amazing energy and their clear emotions during the singing them. But also,cool band is Dead by April,especially their last single "Collapsing". God,just how it starts... Goosebumps from the first few words.. Hope to see your reaction on this track.
Ben Burnley has an awesome voice and writes beautiful songs. Other songs you could listen to: What Lies Beneath, Fade Away, Dance With The Devil, Sugarcoat, Blood, Into The Nothing, Breath, Hollow, Psycho, Save Yourself, Defeated... you only got to choose ahahah
YES!!! Been waiting for this one for years! Arguably my absolute favorite song of theirs ( between this and "Breath" from the same album ). For some reason, the song being in 3/4 time makes it so much cooler. As for longevity, "Sooner or Later," "Firefly," and "Next to Nothing" are even older, and I still rock out to them. I mean, I still rock out to even older stuff too ( Rush, Eagles, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, you get the idea ). You ought to listen to some of Ben's "softer" stuff to get an idea of his range as a musician. Songs like "Forget It," "Rain," and "Ashes of Eden" are incredible at how they're not as loud or forceful as others, but the underlying passion and intensity are still there.
I recently got into BB. I'd heard about them over the past 20 years or so and loved a lot of really good bands that orbited around BB, like Chevelle, disturbed, Staind, Cold etc...but just some how missed BB. So i got into them because of Far Away with Scooter ward of Cold because I was a big Cold fan. Then since I really loved that song Far Away, I delved into all of their albums and made a playlist of like 40 songs. How awesome is it to discover a band and find 40 amazing songs?? Crazy. Anyways I would suggest, Breath, You, The Dark of you, Close to heaven, Angels Fall and Failure as a few offhand I don't think you've reacted yet.
Hey man, been a fan for about a year or so now, and I just wanted to congratulate you on the house. Didn't even really watch the reaction yet, just wanted to say that first.
You know what dude? I was literally just listening to this in the shower before I even saw my notifications. That’s pretty wild. Love this song ever since it came out 15 or so years ago.
MAAAAN I was in college in Houston Texas before covid and now that I´m back in my country I FOCKING MISS WHATABURGUER LOL not a real fan of BB but the song was deep and nice... love your channel man, !! send me some number 5 form the whataburguer menu no pickles no onions ♥
Posters. Chris Roetter from Like Moths to Flames and Joel Birch from The Amity Affliction both do drawings and sell them. Joel does lyrics from their songs but so badass and Chris does all kinds of stuff.
I really hope you react to Had Enough, Blow Me Away (honestly react to both the original and Valora's version), Breath, and Unknown Soldier. amazing songs and some of my favorites.
More Breaking Benjamin please. They are my favorite band, I’ve been listening to them for 18 years (I can’t believe it!). I’d recommend “Give Me a Sign” from Dear Agony album.
Yess!!! Blood from their new album is amazing! Well.. ember.. man fells like that concert from that tour was yesterday but other times it feels like a million years ago.
Fun fact, Breaking Benjamin got it’s name because before the band was formed, the lead singer dropped the mic at an open mic, breaking it. If you ever have time, you should react to Spirits, an Emo Metal band. They only have 5 songs out right now in their album Novellas (they plan on releasing more later this year). My favorite is Meraki, but all of the songs are amazing. They also do reaction vids as well as twitch streaming.
Evans blue - possession. So powerful, so much passion. Breaking Benjamin got me through some really hard times, I find it hard to listen to them now, too many memories.
Phobia top to bottom is a perfect album with no skippable tracks, phobia, deer, agony, and dark before Dawn is one of the best, three album runs by any band
Had Enough - Breaking Benjamin. Is a song, that I go back to a lot, and it's from the same album. It has that same intensity vs melody, and he just continues to prove how good he is, at turning a phrase in his lyrics.
Yes. Please check out this song!
That's my personal theme song. That's how I feel about people everyday.
You need to check out volbeat you’d love them
Had Enough is a much better song IMHO.
Had Enough was definitely my favorite song from this album. Heavy but so goddamn meaningful
Of all the main albums they've released, Breaking Benjamin does not have one single bad song imo. Can't get enough of them.
Completely agree! Not a bad song in their entire back-catalog. Personally one of my favourite songs of theirs is the Halo 2 version of Blow me Away.
I totally agree with this.
The only song I’m not a fan of is rain, I believe it’s off we are not alone, and one from they’re unreleased stuff called ladybug. But other than those 2 I love every song too. This is the band I can listen to on repeat and never get tired of!
Lady bug is the only one i hate 🤣
Exactly! I'm a recent fan (1y6m) and I'm a fan from Avril since a long time ago and I can tell, yeah, she has bad songs and I'm talking the ones from the albums. BB don't have any bad songs, there's the ones that I like more but I like all of them, there's any song that I don't like from them.
This band has some of the best hooks in their songs, period. No epic complicated musicianship but they slay at what they do.
The writing is also great
If doesn’t miss was a band
Dance with the devil is another banger. Especially the aurora version.
He already listened to the original. He hasn't listened to the aurora version with Adam Gontier yet, though
typhlosion787 He might listen to the song again. He did so for Linkin Park songs.
@@commandixnostalgia2321 Only if he listens to the entire album. That's the only reason he listened to songs like Papercut and In the End again
One of my faves
This, in my opinion, is their greatest song thus far.
Evil Angel is one of my favorite Breaking Benjamin songs.
Same
Shit i was in my 18 when it came ou n i was born in 88 the rock bands n some pop bands n some country singers of that time from 80s to early 00s we had the pleasure of seeing hearing bands evolve n we loved them all linkin park really changed rock music forever Chester bennington left his imprint in rock history rip music nowadays r just half ass
Please do a listening party for their Phobia album. Won’t regret. It’s an amazing album.
Agree. If he was to react to another album, this should be it!
Definitely. Phobia is one of those albums you can just let play from beginning to the end
I agree with this post.
Yes!!!!!
It really is a phenomenal album
BB has never been a “Christian” band. But some of their songs, especially some newer ones, have some religious vibes to them. Not explicitly. To me, it’s up to personal interpretation. The song Ashes of Eden is one that comes to mind.
yeah Breaking Benjamin isn't a christian band or even a contemporary band. Breaking Benjamin's music is about depression and addiction along many other things that deal with human problems.
I would like to think Ben is a lover and he has battled something none of us can imagine. I think he has faith in God
But I think that Benjamin Burnley is a Christian and therefore, it might influences his lyrics. I mean, they collaborate and tour with some christian bands or artists.

True, but unfortunately I don’t think Ben will ever go back to that style of music, I think he even said he dislikes that entire album.
@@braddavis8857 that’s fine. Song still slaps 👍
@@braddavis8857 that’s crazy how he doesn’t like it. Still listen to it and love basically every song from that album.
@@sethantoniorodriguez9190 Same.
@@braddavis8857 crazy, imo that's their best album, hands down!!
Alex, in this song the "evil angel" is a representation of Ben's addiction to alcohol. Listen to it again with that context. It will make way more sense.👍
Please do a whole album review on dear agony it’s one of there emotional albums and is one of my all time favorites or phobia please
Phobia is still an absolute favorite album of mine.
Absolutely Dear Agony album
Yes, we need this🙏 Dear Agony is my favorite album by them
Yes. This.
To me, Phobia is hands down their best album. All of their albums are amazing though!
The dark of you- ember. Generally not into slower tempo songs, but it just gives me chills anytime I listen to it.
One of the best from that album
Breaking Benjamin albums are all great in their own rights, this song dominates!
Great Song!
Should check out "Breath", "Red River", "Never Again", and "Hollow"
other good songs of theirs
He has already done a reaction trilogy for the three Ember singles including Red Cold River. Hope you check those out. Pretty good impressions and insights that are even similar to mine
Hopeless by Breaking Benjamin. Probably one of their most underrated songs.
React to Hollow by Breaking Benjamin. The song gives me the goosebumps every time I listen to it 😁
Best song on Dark Before Dawn!
@@Weeman5foot I 100% agree with you!
"Crawl"
"Hopeless"
(from Dear Agony)
"Breath" is my favorite from BB....
Evil angel is literally one of the best songs they have. I listened to it once and haven’t stopped since
Amen.
I ALWAYS come back to Breaking Benjamin, classic, classic band.
There's how i feel about So Cold... It's one of the first songs i heard from them... Haven't stopped listening to in 5 years (yes i only started listening to any rock music 5 years ago)
@@lonewolfe5960 We Are Not Alone is the first album of theirs I listened to and So Cold always brings me back to that day. Every song.

Love this song, I love all of Breaking Benjamin’s songs, if you haven’t already listen to either Home or You by them
Dont know why but You hits home really hard
You is amazing.
Absolutely love Home!!!
Bro home is so good. Especially the end couple lyrics, it’s something I sing along to everytime. That album was perfect imo and represented BB perfectly but all their albums represent the different sides of him too
Gotta do more Breaking Benjamin! The whole phobia album!
Also you should put some aluminum metal signs up 🤣
Here We Are is a perfect mix of melodic and heavy. The verses are very melodic, while the choruses lean into the rock
since Chester passed away I've been paying a lot more attention to the lyrics and tbh I'm worried about Benjamin. hope he's doing alright anyway :)
well since he has been sick for many years with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke%E2%80%93Korsakoff_syndrome if you want to look up what he’s got but he does have depression as well but from what I have gather he is like me and that is we won’t stop until we done what we love to do in this World even in his case he dies on the stage from his own words

“Who’s the singer of Breaking Benjamin”
“Benjamin Burnley”
Me: yep lol
Going to see them in concert again next week!!!!! So excited!!
No they aren’t a Christian band. Ben was an alcoholic. He has lasting issues from it.
You know what cures depression? Listening to anything from currents last 2 albums 🥲
Ugh especially Apnea (technically four albums ago, ha) and Night Terrors, or The Place I Feel Safest
@@ablondegirlwithaloveofmeta8385 factual statements
Still among my favorite song from Breaking Benjamin, it's amazing
Phobia came out as I was going through a really difficult time in my life. I listened to it non-stop for months. All of their work is incredible, but Phobia is something special for me. Thanks for all you put into these reactions, Alex!
I remember when this song came out and it's still one of my all time favorites by them. So good.
Without you from the dear agony album …seriously has all the highlights you need . Breaking Benjamin is special man ! lifesaving and always staying in tune with today’s music
I have a feeling you would absolutely love Dead by April. I stumbled upon them on Spotify and fell in love with their music immediately!
Solid band
found them in about 2009-10ish through old modern warfare 2 sniper montages, erased is easily my favourite song, followed closely by losing you. criminally under-rated and i feel if they kept their original lineup they would have been more successful..
@@sloff2140 Personally "What Can I Say" hits home for me the most. But I've not found one song of theirs that I don't like.
I found them in 2008 or 09, they're a freat Swedish band and great vocals
I totally forgot about them! Thanks for the reminder!
If there are any Breaking Benjamin songs I highly recommend, it would have to be Feed The Wolf, Blood, Psycho, The Dark of You, Close Your Eyes, Down, Ashes of Eden, Failure, Hollow, Great Divide, Blow Me Away ft. Valora, Give Me A Sign, Dance With The Devil, Had Enough, Until The End, and Without You.
He did Dance with the devil already
@@commandixnostalgia2321 Oh. Ok thank you.
Oh definitely failure
That version of Blow Me Away is what caused the breakup of the original band.
valora did not belong on that song and she kinda ruins it imo.
I think people really sleep on their Album called Ember! It is such a great album!
My personal favourite from it is Tourniquet! Would highly recommend giving it a listen
Yes!!!!!
Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson is better
Pretty sure he's done that one, along with the other singles from that album. Great tune either way!
@@Weeman5foot thanks for the heads up, you are absolutely correct! Must have missed it when the videos were published
I think Ember is their worst album. Something in the production, because the Aurora versions of the Ember songs are good.
I still listen to everything Breaking Benjamin puts out old and new.... they are amazing ...my favorite
7:12 you remind me there's a BB song with title 'Forget it'. Softer melody than usuall from them but worth to check out. Also 'Better days' which is more like ballad.

Check out either Blood or The dark of your by breaking Benjamin. Love your videos !
I've been listening to Breaking Benjamin since I was 8 years old and I'm nearly 24 now and their songs still give me the feels.
This entire album remains my all time favorite album. Benjamin was going through SEVERE alcoholism at this time, but his lyrics on this album are so poetic to anyone who was going through depression back then. I still to this day jam this album 20+ times a year, start to finish.

Didnt realize you had already reacted to so many of their songs! I recommend tourniquet, polyamerous, and blood
You genuinely can't go wrong with any breaking Benjamin song, if anything I'd probably look at some of their live performances with guest singers !

Adam gontier was on dance with the devil
Saw them live a couple months ago. Best thing youl ever hear / do
You should please react to Breaking Benjamin Hollow it's a bad ass record. It's my favorite song by them.
Love this song so much. But this song specifically I believe is about the “Evil Angel” who is represented on the album cover. In essence he’s the grim reaper but as an angel of death. He knows he’s dying and he’s not yet ready to go but if he’s going to he wants the Evil Angel to “help him survive here” and to “open his wings” for him to know he has comfort in death. Someone there for him as he’s passing.

But he’s saying that in his case these “birds of a feather” are liars and are faced hence the part of them having crooked wings.
The song is about his alcohol addiction, but I like your theories.
You gotta do *Yours is an Empty Hope* by Nightwish if you haven't already; it's a master class in switching between heavy and melodic. And there's a bit of an Easter Egg in the chorus!
Haven't heard this song in so long, thanks for the nostalgia trip dude
Just saw BB with Memphis May Fire and it was 🔥🔥🔥 for there music to be still played going on close to 20 years, speaks to the level of greatest this band has. With my dads passing recently, hearing Bens voice was so comforting. Been watching for a long time man, love the reactions like always🤘🏼✌️❤️

Hi Alex, I really enjoy watching your videos. I have severe chronic lower back and neck pain. Most nights I can't sleep because of my chronic pain. I binge watch your videos when I can't sleep. Watching your videos helps me forget about my chronic pain. Thank you for making your videos.
All the following are songs from BB
Hollow, Breaking the Silence, Blood (highly recommend), Breath, Had Enough, Rain (both versions), Simple Design, Skin
so happy breaking benjamin is getting more love nowadays !!! been my absolute favorite band since middle school !! evil angel is the best song ever
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 Hell Yeah!!! Love BB!! I'm going to recommend a song I rarely see people ask for but is phenomenal. Now you're going to have to search a bit. But it's called "Sooner or Later". 😉❤✌
how on earth can you of not known about Breaking Benjamin. They are frigging amazing, helped me through years of despair and torment.
Hey Alex you should hear You Fight Me by them, it’s a pretty dark song, and I would like to hear your opinion on what it means! :D
Yes! Hands down my fav BB song.
Had enough is an amazing Breaking Benjamin song too. Evil Angel used to be my favorite from them but had enough recently took its place.
Love Breaking Benjamin because of deep sense in their songs,as you noticed - the amazing energy and their clear emotions during the singing them. But also,cool band is Dead by April,especially their last single "Collapsing". God,just how it starts... Goosebumps from the first few words.. Hope to see your reaction on this track.
Ben Burnley has an awesome voice and writes beautiful songs. Other songs you could listen to: What Lies Beneath, Fade Away, Dance With The Devil, Sugarcoat, Blood, Into The Nothing, Breath, Hollow, Psycho, Save Yourself, Defeated... you only got to choose ahahah
One of my favorite songs. My go-to band for hype music. Great reaction!
🦋 Awesome Reaction Alex! I Love Every Breaking Benjamin Song Ever Created. I'll Definitely Be Looking Forward To Any Others You Chose To React To. 🤘😏
Until the End by BB has some great riffs.
YES!!! Been waiting for this one for years! Arguably my absolute favorite song of theirs ( between this and "Breath" from the same album ). For some reason, the song being in 3/4 time makes it so much cooler.
As for longevity, "Sooner or Later," "Firefly," and "Next to Nothing" are even older, and I still rock out to them. I mean, I still rock out to even older stuff too ( Rush, Eagles, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, you get the idea ).
You ought to listen to some of Ben's "softer" stuff to get an idea of his range as a musician. Songs like "Forget It," "Rain," and "Ashes of Eden" are incredible at how they're not as loud or forceful as others, but the underlying passion and intensity are still there.
I recently got into BB. I'd heard about them over the past 20 years or so and loved a lot of really good bands that orbited around BB, like Chevelle, disturbed, Staind, Cold etc...but just some how missed BB. So i got into them because of Far Away with Scooter ward of Cold because I was a big Cold fan. Then since I really loved that song Far Away, I delved into all of their albums and made a playlist of like 40 songs. How awesome is it to discover a band and find 40 amazing songs?? Crazy. Anyways I would suggest, Breath, You, The Dark of you, Close to heaven, Angels Fall and Failure as a few offhand I don't think you've reacted yet.
Hey man, been a fan for about a year or so now, and I just wanted to congratulate you on the house. Didn't even really watch the reaction yet, just wanted to say that first.
Failure, Give me a sign, Anthem of the Angels, breath, and without you are all classics you need in your life
You know what dude? I was literally just listening to this in the shower before I even saw my notifications. That’s pretty wild. Love this song ever since it came out 15 or so years ago.
Breaking Benjamin! Please do more. Shit their albums got me thru a lot back in the day
oh, when i first saw channel Alex, than i think about how this man is scary of heavy music, but now. its incredible, thank you!
MAAAAN I was in college in Houston Texas before covid and now that I´m back in my country I FOCKING MISS WHATABURGUER LOL not a real fan of BB but the song was deep and nice... love your channel man, !! send me some number 5 form the whataburguer menu no pickles no onions ♥
God DAAYUM that drum intro is one of my favorites of literally any song ever. UGH!
Oh wow, my favorite group, thank you for this reaction!
This is by far one of my all-time favorite form BB love the reaction
Yo, gotta do Diary of Jane next!!!
Also, two honorable mentions:
Hinder - Running in the Rain
P.O.D - It Can't Rain Every Day
He has already reacted to Diary Of Jane
@@robinharlin8857 oh, he did? Must have missed that, the other two then :V
I feel like you must be the only other person besides me who's heard it cant rain everyday by p.o.d what a fantastic shout!
@@Zeewolf93 P.O.D is great in general, but that song just hits different.
@@MightyHiken it really does! Would be right up alex's street aswell i think.
Posters. Chris Roetter from Like Moths to Flames and Joel Birch from The Amity Affliction both do drawings and sell them. Joel does lyrics from their songs but so badass and Chris does all kinds of stuff.
We need a full album reaction to Phobia or Dear Agony🤟 Breaking Benjamin is one of my all time favorite bands ❤️
Listen to all of Dear Agony or Ember. Those are my two favorite albums by Breaking Benjamin.
I really hope you react to Had Enough, Blow Me Away (honestly react to both the original and Valora's version), Breath, and Unknown Soldier. amazing songs and some of my favorites.
More Breaking Benjamin please. They are my favorite band, I’ve been listening to them for 18 years (I can’t believe it!). I’d recommend “Give Me a Sign” from Dear Agony album.
Yess!!! Blood from their new album is amazing! Well.. ember.. man fells like that concert from that tour was yesterday but other times it feels like a million years ago.
I would love a just one video dedicated to YOUR favorite bands and songs. Wether reaction or just a Q&A
I hope I’m not the only one who wants you to have a Hanson poster up in the reaction room😁
Ice nine kills released rainy day with a music video the other day!
GOTTA GET ON THAT!!
If you ever get a chance to see them live, I highly suggest you do so. They put on a great show!
lol, first breaking benjamin song i heard like 8 or 9 years ago now. still one of my favorites to this day.
Fun fact, Breaking Benjamin got it’s name because before the band was formed, the lead singer dropped the mic at an open mic, breaking it.
If you ever have time, you should react to Spirits, an Emo Metal band. They only have 5 songs out right now in their album Novellas (they plan on releasing more later this year). My favorite is Meraki, but all of the songs are amazing. They also do reaction vids as well as twitch streaming.
All their songs are soooo good! This particular song punches my heart ❤️☺️🤘 let’s go Breaking B !
Evans blue - possession.
So powerful, so much passion.
Breaking Benjamin got me through some really hard times, I find it hard to listen to them now, too many memories.
Phobia top to bottom is a perfect album with no skippable tracks, phobia, deer, agony, and dark before Dawn is one of the best, three album runs by any band
