Phobia (Audio CD)

Customer Review

"Phobia" was the first album that I've heard of Breaking Benjamin, it got strongly discouraged by a friend. Since BB are unfortunately generally outside the US rather unknown, I had no idea that there are the band ever and am accordingly approached without prejudice to the album.
But after the first listening I just thought yet: "Holy shit !!!"
With "Phobia" BB deliver a bleak hard rock album from the finest! Straight to the heart going melodies that [!!! And that's saying something] were underpinned with the fattest riffs that are me come so far to my attention, and as icing Ben's powerful, slightly smoky voice that highlights the wonderful lyrics again!
Whether it is in "Breath", one of my favorites with its catchy words "You take the breath right out of me, and left a hole where my heart Should be" or "Unknown Soldier" 's "holding on too tight, breathe The Breath of Life, so I can leave this world behind "what really convinced me hard in this band was the fact with how much strength and at the same time feeling Ben brings the lyrics to express! It is believed it, yes, you are absolutely convinced that he has brought his every word, just as it has sprung his soul's paper and performed it, and that makes at least for me a great attraction to BB, since nowadays almost are no more bands doing with so much passion unaffected artful music!
In addition even Ben's exceptional voice, which, unlike other rockers [if I may call it that BB at all, because the popular rock star cliché they correspond definitely not! ;)] Is Naura and not recycled by excessive alcohol and cigarettes consumption! Believe it he hardly that in such a rather schlacksigem, big guy hiding such an insane voice that is both melodic and growls at fantastic sounds! [Where growls etc. unfortunately only minimally represented on "Phobia", you really have to listen very well to find what!]
These supplies "Phobia" an insane collection of good songs from! A real "version thriller" does not exist, no song on the album is less than 5 out of 10! The topic is contains far, whether Liebesleid as "Breath" or "Diary of Jane" or a tribute to the courage and the strength of soldiers in "Unknown Soldier"! Hear now simply thrown together, but it's not! The songs seem all of a piece, the album it follows a harmonious whole without zuwirken than had been sought konkrte. Personally, I like to hear it in one go by, because it's almost a shame to have to cancel after the first good songs in the knowledge that even more equivalent waiting for me! ;)

In conclusion, I must say that "Phobia" an insanely good album is, and I say definitely not frivolous! Property me already the newer disk, "Dear Agony" risen, the "typical" Breaking Benjamin is also music that is a the heart and ear to where you can go off well, and you will not forget so soon!
