I bought this album after I was alerted by a friend to this band. So far I had only the latest album by Breaking Benjamin (Dear Agony), which I have loved right away. Also "Phobia" is an ingenious album that appeals to both heart and ears. Be emphasized memorable voice in this context Benjamin. Every song is convincing - not only really good music and strong lyrics, but because one hears that someone is singing now, who also thinks every word that speaks from his soul. Something you rarely find. This makes Breaking Benjamin extremely listenable and unmistakable. The overall mood of the album is rather bleak, however, does not detract from the whole and the songs fit together very well, every song has something that forces you to continue listening.
My favorites: "Evil Angel" and "Dance with the Devil". "The Diary of Jane" was the first song I heard from Breaking Benjamin, and has thus naturally again a special position.
So Highly Recommended! Who does not know, really missed something !!
