Review Summary: Puntuación: 6/10
Lo mejor: El single “I Will Not Bow” (hasta a mi hijo de 10 meses le gusta!!) y su video musical
Lo peor: El conformismo que han mostrado en este disco Breaking Benjamin llevaban una clara linea ascendente, con un disco cada 2 años y con un sonido a medio camino entre las guitarras potentes y la voz muy melódica. “Phobia“, su tercera entrega me gustó bastante y ten*a muchas esperanzas en su continuación, pero las noticias que llegaban del otro lado del Atlántico no eran muy esperanzadoras; La parte final de la gira de “Phobia” se tuvo que cancelar por problemas de salud de su frontman, Benjamin Burnley que no tuvo más remedio que recluirse para “limpiarse” de sus adicciones, lo que hizo que saltaran rumores de ruptura.
Salvado ese match-ball, se puso a componer totalmente sobrio, contando con la ayuda de uno de sus amigos de rehab, el guitarra Jasen Rauch de la banda Red que colabora en 4 de los 11 temas dando como resultado “Dear Agony“, producido por David Bendeth art*fice de sus dos primeras entregas y cuyo t*tulo hace referencia a esa agon*a a la que le sum*an las drogas y el alcohol, una tónica en todas las letras del disco, as* como en la portada del mismo, con una foto de una resonancia magnética de la propia cabeza de Benjamin.
“I Will Not Bow” salió como primer single, siendo inclu*do en la BSO de la pel*cula Surrogates” (traducida como “Los Sustitutos”) como canción central de la pel*cula y es quizá el tema más redondo. Veo un poco de cambio en temas como “Fade Away”, “Crawl” o “Anthem of The Angels” pero musicalmente el disco sigue la estela de su anterior entrega, sin arriesgar un ápice hacia algo innovador. Los temas más lentos como “Give me a Sign” se hacen pesados y la escucha del disco acaba siendo monótona.
Es una pena que bandas como Breaking Benjamin o Three Days Grace, para m*, estandartes del movimiento de alt-rock/metal se hayan estancado tan pronto; quizás simplemente no eran tan buenas bandas como apuntaban, quizás sacaron discos decentes cuando el panorama musical no estaba muy bien, o simplemente es que se encuentran cómodos haciendo algo que gusta a sus fans más fans, pero si me quieren re-engachar como fan deberán hacer algo distinto en el futuro.

Score: 6 / 10 Best: The single "I Will Not Bow" (even my son likes to 10 months!) And worst music video: The conformity that have shown in this album
Breaking Benjamin had a clear bottom line, with an album every two years and with a sound halfway between the powerful guitars and melodic voice. "Phobia", the third installment I liked enough and have * a lot of hope in the next, but the news from across the Atlantic were not very encouraging; The final part of the tour of "Phobia" had to be canceled health problems of its frontman, Benjamin Burnley who had no choice but to shut himself away for "cleaned" of their addictions, prompting rumors of a break from jumping.
Saved the match-ball, he began to write completely sober, with the help of one of his friends in rehab, guitarist Jasen Rauch of the band Red collaborating in four of the 11 subjects, resulting in "Dear Agony", produced by David Bendeth art * fice of his first two deliveries and whose t * Title refers to the agon * aa * the sum you an drugs and alcohol, a pattern in all the letters of the disc, as * as on the cover of it, with a picture of an MRI of Benjamin's own head.
"I Will Not Bow" was released as the first single, being included on the soundtrack * do the pel cula * Surrogates "(translated as" The Replacements ") as the central song * pel cula and is perhaps the track round. I see a little change in tracks like "Fade Away", "Crawl" or "Anthem of The Angels" but musically, the album follows in the wake of their previous delivery, without compromising one iota to something innovative. The slower tracks like "Give me a Sign" are heavy and listening to the album ends up being monotonous.
It's a shame that bands like Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace, for m *, banners alt-rock/metal movement have stalled as soon, perhaps just not as good bands like pointing, maybe decent discs removed when the picture Music was not very good, or just that they are comfortable doing what their fans like most fans, but if you want to re-pegs me as a fan should do something different in the future.

Great album. That's a very loose translation that fr33convict posted there, but I got the gist of it, seems to echo DaveyBoy's review for the most part, so good job. Although, yeah, you need to write them in English on this site. I pos'd, though.

Yay Breaking Benjamin

band sucks used to love em
| | | Album Rating: 3.5
Probably not, if you were lukewarm on Phobia. I'd put that just about even with this, although most people would put this album lower.
| | | Album Rating: 3.0
pretty generic yet pleasant.. not as good as any of their previous ones though
| | | Album Rating: 3.5
This is better than Phobia.
