Breaking Benjamin is a classic. You can't go wrong with them. The album this song is on released in 2015. It's called Dark Before Dawn and was a huge turning point for the band because it came out 6 years after their previous album, Dear Agony, in 2009. It took so long for them to make this record because Ben was battling with serious health issues related to his past life of alcoholism, of which he no longer partakes in, as well as legal troubles with former band members Aaron Fink and Mark Klepaski. Essentially, they released material without Ben's knowledge and he fired them while still retaining the band's name. After that was settled, he found new members and the band became a quintet for the first time. Ben got tired of getting no answers from doctors regarding his health issues, so he just moved on and decided to make a new album with the new members. Dark Before Dawn was born and it was welcomed with open arms by all the fans, to the point where the album was the first in Breaking Benjamin's career to top the Billboard 200. The album was a banger. Two years ago, in 2018, the band released the follow-up album called Ember, which I believe to be there best album to date. It's so punchy, guttural, heavy, and powerful. That album is well-known for having a trilogy of music videos that tell an overaching story about a man who lost his daughter. The songs that correspond to those music videos in order are "Red Cold River", "Torn in Two" , and "Tourniquet". I would recommend you check that trilogy out, however, it would be helpful if beforehand you watched the music video for the song "Never Again", which is from the previous album, Dark Before Dawn, because there are elements of a story within that video that tie into elements of the story told within the Ember trilogy. They released an album earlier this year too called Aurora, but that album is a compilation album that features a lot of guest vocalists on songs that have been reimagined with a sort of acoustic-ethereal tone to them, including Lacey Sturm on the song "Dear Agony", which was the title track for their 2009 album. The only new song on that album is "Far Away", which features Scooter Ward of the band Cold. Scooter is a long-time friend of Ben's. In any event, thanks for reacting to these guys! You rock Chase!
i still remember seeing the announcement about the album in 2015
Dark Before Dawn is the last physical CD I bought
It is the same singer; he's just grown a beard! 😆
😂😂😂
FUN FACT: Jasen Rauch with Breaking Ben used to be the guitarist for RED, who I used to tour with and work for. I haven't listened to Breaking Ben in a while, so I'm glad you posted this! It didn't rock as much as I like them to (I REALLY like heavier BB), but it was still a great song.
That's awesome. Completely agree. Nice melodies but not the BB I know
my dad says I saw RED at Ichthus in 2011. I was little, so all I remember is a lot of people and crying because my ears hurt lol
@@snowdoll3778 HA! I was there!!!
I haven't listened to BB for a very long time. I guess I'm used to their heavier stuff and Ben's occasional guttural screams, so this is like a breath of fresh air. Surprisingly this is quite enjoyable.
Same. I stopped after the first three albums. This is different, not something I will put in my playlist but still a good song to listen to occasionally.
@@juliettemcgee9055 Yeah and nothing is wrong with that 😉
Same dude. He just unleashed his inner Zod.
Great to hear Breaking Benjamin again.Thanks for reacting to this.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It is just so beautiful and emotional, especially lyrically. Please react to more BB!
Very pleasant. Light and shade. You want them both.
If you're interested in some of their newer songs: On their newest album ''Ember'' they kind of made a little story consisting of 3 songs through the music video's. It starts with ''Red cold river'' and gets followed up by ''Torn in two'' and ''Tourniquet''. I think both ''Red cold river'' and ''Tourniquet'' would make for cool reactions sometime. (Coming second after my first suggestion which was ''Instability'' by Dragged under hehehe) Great video again Chase!
I totally agree with you, I really like those songs and the music videos.
Dear Agony with lacy from the aurora version is insane ❤
Gotta do this one soon.
That snare sounds like they are using rutes or hot rods instead of regular drumsticks to give it that looser sound. I like that you caught on to the different snare sound!
Nice on Austin.
This is that song for me where I'll always cry when I hear it. Some other great songs on that album are Dark and Hollow. The album after this Red Cold River and Dark of You are my favorites
So as for the newest album Aurora, the only New song is "Far Away" ft. Scooter Ward of Cold. The other songs from Aurora are re-done/re-imagined versions of their old songs, many with guest singers. I.E. "Dear Agony" ft Lacey Sturm.
My 2 suggestions for you: "The Day That The World Breaks Down" by Ayreon and "Blind and Frozen" by Beast in Black.
He'd definitely appreciate the "unexpected" shock of Yannis. So good!
Blind and Frozen would be awesome for him to react to
@@mizterxc and then since he's loving the Nightwish.. his cover of Ghost Love Score
I second Beast in Black. He needs to hear Yannis sing!
Had this played at our wedding for our first dance.
Missed the sound of that guys voice.. haven’t heard anything from BB in many years. Think I will have to check some more songs out, can’t judge on just this one song.. I enjoyed hearing them again.
Great band. Like the heavier stuff too, like Red Cold River from the new album.
Eeeeek I love Breaking Benjamin!
Seeing toy react to these guys makes my heart happy 😊
There are only two songs I like from them. Red Cold River and Diary Of Jane ...check out the first one! 😁
the video hasn't even started and i just had to comment, this is one of my favorite Breaking Benjamin songs. I listen to deathcore a lot but also like BB, it's possible. (idk who I'm trying to convince, just know there's ppl out there who make fun of this kind of music) k, thanks. :)
Haha no limit on the different kind of music you can listen to so I get you.
@@ChaseCarneson for sure! that's why this channel is my favorite as for the last few weeks. there's diversity and open minds for all kinds of music.
I go from Disney to Death Metal to Lady Gaga and Symphonic Metal to Deathcore to Classical... you just do you and have no shame that you love music.
@@KelvinZomerVlog hell yea! Lady Gaga's The Fame will always be a favorite of mine.
@@rocioiribe5841 YES! So much yes.
Love BB, last concert I saw with Korn in Minneapolis, Feb 2020 🤘
so pumped to see u doing BREAKING BENJAMIN. my all time fav band! ive seen them live 3 times and it was killer every time
Kinda Jealous.
I saw them live once. They and Three Days Grace opened for Seether and Evanescence.
Love me some benjamin thankyou Chase for this one.
Wintersun withdrawal here \o/
Love love love love! Thank you♥️
Absolutely one of my favorite songs from Breaking Ben! Great analysis!
Ohhh Breaking Benjamin. I'm here for that. 😃 I, like you, haven't heard newer stuff from them.
At first I didn't think I liked the song, but by the end, it had totally pulled me in.
Funny how songs can do that.
@@ChaseCarneson when you said how long the song was, I was actually surprised, it hadn't seemed that long.
You should definitely check out Jasen's old band RED, too. So many awesome tracks. Breathe Into Me, Already Over, Pieces, Ordinary World (Duran Duran cover), Take It All Away, Feed the Machine, Perfect Life, Darkest Part, Take Me Over. Just to name a few. One of the few bands I've followed album after album. More so that even Breaking Benjamin.
It's a very callm and full of space song. I like this one. It's a very good radio song. Take care about Yourself.
I am not a big fan of Breaking Benjamin, but because of bands that have toured with them I have seen them live twice. I have always come away impressed by the precision of their performances and how all the members are on exactly the same page and never miss a beat. One of those bands I always like what I hear, but just never got really into. Good laid back and chill song.
After Phobia, I hardly ever listened to anything from Breaking Benjamin. This isn't like what I remember them but feels like rediscovering old crush again because this band used to be part of my life, although not for a long period of time. Maybe this is just what I need as an intermission from listening to heavier stuff since this morning. Have a damn good day.
Just what I was thinking, Juliette.different but kinda or a nice switch up
At 6:00, the different sound is cuz he is likely playing with hot rods instead of normal drum sticks which give a softer more open sound
Haven't listened to Breaking Benjamin in years. Not sure how I feel about this song yet. It wasn't bad, but I guess not what I was expecting. Definitely will give another listen! This does make me want to go back and listen them again for old times' sake. Yeah, I would definitely be into hearing newer stuff from them. Have a great day! 😊
Nice one Melissa.
Wow, I didn't even know they were still around. Sort of a standard rock ballad but I like it.
Oh wow, I almost forgot about them! Used to love their songs but somehow lost track of them. Beautiful ballad, gotta check out their new album.
I didn't think you'd start out with a mellower track, but it's a good song. Breaking Benjamin is one of my absolute favorite bands. I've seen them a few times live, and I have always dug their sound. I have a hard time listening to it, because when my 27 year old niece died, this was a song that was played. I have a very hard time hearing it without thinking about that.
Dark Before Dawn is a really good album (the album this song is on). Failure, Bury Me Alive, Never Again, and Breaking the Silence are a few of my favorites.
Thanks for all your awesome reactions, keep it up! ^_^
Breaking Benjamin always hits me with nostalgia, the first time I heard them was in Halo 2 in 2004; with "Blow me Away" :)
How about Protest the Hero?
Some greats are Sequoia Throne, Hair Trigger, Palms Read, Cold Water, and their entire new album that just came out.
Chase, maybe i caught this one early enough! Please try Enter Shikari "The Great Unknown" No reactor ever does this band and they deserve the sort of breakdown only you're capable of. Before you blow up please give this fantastic british band a look!
You should check out Of Mind - Nocturn by TesseracT and Electric Sunrise by Plini
The song is good if you're in the mood for something cathartic and super chill, but Breaking Benjamin has SO many more good songs, this one seems like a slightly odd pick. Not a "bad" one tho.
When you pointed out those two little "whiny" lines he did, those really stood out to me also. I think the song went in a sort of whiny 'College Rock' direction only for those two lines. I don't know if I agree that that sounded like classic Breaking Benjamin, but maybe I have to go back and listen more. Yeah, it's time to revisit BB
More more more
PLEASE react to Breaking Benjamin - So Cold
Never really been a fan of Breaking Benjamin but my favourite of theirs is definitely "So Cold", it's really great.
Shit I completely forgot about them. So happy that I get to re-listen to them :) And apparently with a lot of new music to discover
Oh man could you do some As I lay Dying? I would suggest their new stuff "Digging my own grave" and "Blinded"
I could do blinded by definitely know digging my own grave.
@@ChaseCarneson YEA! its short but it smacks you in the face and doesn't let go
My dude, you are in for a treat. Breaking Ben have really upped their game with their latest two albums. The singer is original, but every other member of the band is completely new from the albums you said you were familiar with. Check out Red Cold River (off of their latest album Ember) if you want to see what their heavier sound is now. It's also part of a 3-part video that ties in with two more songs off of that album.
Great reaction as always!
Oh wow... definitely time for me to revisit some Breaking Benjamin. I loved them when they first came out but lost track of a lot of bands I liked when I didn't have a radio/stereo any more (and before I started w/ cell phones)... it became a habit to only listen to whatever CD's I had on hand. Love this song & his voice. I think I'm going to have to have a throwback day.. maybe add in some Hoobastank and other bands/songs I haven't heard in ages. / Chase: A kindly request: check out the band Extreme sometime. They're one of the few bands I've ever seen on concert (back in the 80's/early 90's) and have an incredible guitarist.
Kalmah - The Groan Wind
Equillibrium - Unbesicht
Cradle of filth - One foul step from the abbys
Dimash - S. O. S.
U should check out trivium if u haven't id love to hear your thoughts on many of their songs , catastrophe is good one to start..
there i am watching your vids since ghost love score and didnt sub. i apologise. XD you got a new sub then. thx for the talk btw ;)
I see you sir 😉🤘
You should check out that Aurora album. Dear Agony w/ Lacey Sturm is on there. Basically a re-imagining album. Different takes/tweaks on some of their bigger hits. Worth a listen!
Hey Chase, if you want to check out some quite different stuff again, I’d really recommend Zeal and Ardor, they are mixing black metal with spirituals and blues elements. Best songs to look at first wood be “Blood in the River” or “Built on Ashes”. I think you won’t regret it. Keep up the good work and greetings from Germany
Hello Chase ! Thanks you for your reaction videos. You do a really interesting job. I suggest you to react some Ghost's songs (if you're not knowing the group) as "Cirice", "He is" or "Monstrance Clock" that you can find performed live. Have a damn good day !
and now for something mindbending EF by Lite.
As someone who took a bunch of voice training, I see this as a piece to display the talent of the lead singer, rather than the guitarists and drummer. I could feel my inner singer wanting to join in on those lovely long soaring vocals. Which, you know, would annoy the HELL out of my roommate AND the neighbors. My voice has no "dimmer switch". It's full on battle ship. And SO annoying! But yeah, I did like this.
This song is incredible! Only 2nd to Anthem of the Angels.
Great reaction as always, still amazed that you can catch stuff that i haven't noticed after hundreds of times listening to the songs.
You should check out The Warning, they're 3 sisters from Mexico and man they sure can rock. Their second album is a concept album but if you wanna go straight to the good stuff, check out "Queen Of The Murder Scene - THE WARNING - LIVE at Lunario CDMX"
Anyways, keep up with the great work!
BB is one of my FAVORITE bands. I could listen to them all day, everyday and never get bored or annoyed. SO with that said, here are my recommendations...
Older BB: Polyamorous, Breath, I Will Not Bow, Hopeless
Newer BB: Failure, Breaking the Silence, Red Cold River, Tourniquet, Torn in Two
.. im sorry, I know its a lot but believe it or not, this is my shortened list haha. Hopefully you'll get some more recommendations to help narrow it down more haha. Enjoy! 🤘
Do you know the band Black Peaks? If not you could react to their Song "King"
Not really familiar with them to be honest
Would definitely like to see you react to their new version of Dear Agony with Lacey Sturm. I couldn't stop going back to that one for a little bit. But it still wasn't as much of an ear worm for me as Unleash the Archers currently is right now 🤣
Should do some reaction from Ember, great newer album.
You should give a chance to Wintersun - Sons of Winter and stars. I think you'll like it :)
The reaction is coming very, very soon.
Every time I listen to this song I can't help but hear something strange. At 7:21 in this vid, immediately after "Because there's nothing left at all" there's a high pitched sudden noise. It sounds exactly like how my wife sounds when she sneezes from the other room, and I've incorrectly said bless you many a time :'). Can anyone explain what that is to me lol.
I've got a recommendation for you, chase.
Into the great beyond by crystal lake. They just put out a music video for it this past week. Quite good.
I would highly recommend Fit for a King - The price of agony or Backbreaker.
I have a love/hate relationship with this band. I absolutely loved Phobia and Dear Agony but the albums after the hiatus were not that good IMO. Then Ember released and I fell in love with these guys again. They got heavier than before and this was a welcome change for me. Love "Tourniquet" and "Psycho" but my favorite is probably "The Dark of You". A soft song but it just hit me deep emotionally. So if you want to check out more BB, Ember should be the place to look.
Please react to Children of Bodom!
I've loved BB for a very long time, their sort of ethereal guitar tones give them a great vibe. One of my criticisms of the band has been that their sound hasn't really evolved much, if at all, over the years, so I fell out of checking out most of their newer work. This tune definitely stands apart, though, I quite like it. And yeah, Ben looks a lil different. Can't really put my finger on it.
Also, check out some of the covers they've done! The bassist Aaron does vocals on a lot of the covers and he's got such a great range. With him on vocals, they've covered Pantera, Tool, Deftones, System of a Down and others. They're a lot of fun!
Its called not being 21 anymore. We all age.
@@Jed-qi8wo I'm not really sure what you're getting at. If you mean not finding BB's newer material to have evolved much throughout their career, getting older is kind of irrelevant, at least for me. My tastes have expanded quite a bit over the years, but I never really "grew out of" liking certain bands or music, so to speak.
@@LexiPixeL_ I was referring to his looks.
@@Jed-qi8wo Oh lmao.
If you do the song dear agony feat Lacy Sturm , you should do breaking benjimans original version first . The version featuring Lacy Sturm is of there Aruora album with features acoustic.
Band-Maid just (3 hours ago) released this from their Feb 2020 concert DVD - PLAY: ruclips.net/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/видео.html
Particularly in the first verse, his voice sounds... I mean there's clearly an effect on it, and to me it sounds like the effect was to aggressively autotune it - not necessarily because he wasn't hitting the notes, but so it's almost a textured effect? I don't particularly like it, but it's interesting.
please react Epica "essence of silence" or "consign to oblivion"
Tomorrow 😉
@@ChaseCarneson yeah :-)
consign to oblivion live in zenith or sancta terra together with floor?
and please Sinead O'connor " Troy" live at the dominion theatre
Oh I would love to see from Epica 'Storm the Sorrow' or 'Tides of time', one of the best songs from this band!
Still no Crystal Lake reactions
Sorry, fell asleep midway through . Great reaction, but the song incredibly flat and pointless. Don't get me wrong, love BB, but they can do so much better than this. Imho
Snore. Your reaction was almost enough to salvage it, but hard pass on any future BB reactions.
Appreciate the feedback. Definitely a bigger fan of the older stuff.
