I have so much love for Breaking Benjamin. They were my favorite band for a pretty long time back in college. Sometimes when I listen to songs I’ll think “eh I think this would’ve sounded better if they had done it this way,” but whenever I listened to Breaking Benjamin and would think “man this will sound so good if they transition like this,” then they did it. It just hit my style so perfectly. I Will Not Bow is another of my favorites by them
It’s worth keeping in mind that this song came out in 2006, so a lot of the sounds and vocal techniques that may seem very familiar now were quite original back then. In fact, the whole song felt quite avantgarde when it was first released.
@@jasonknotts5001 Ha ha, fair enough. In my defence, I deliberately used the word “quite” twice by way of qualification. It is extremely difficult to be truly original and not to be at least subconsciously influenced to some degree by the music that you listen to, like and admire when composing a song. I tried to do it myself around the 1990s, but my mediocre efforts no doubt failed that test, even if I thought they were “original” at the time. On the bands you mention: Korn - yes, I agree totally; Deftones - also very original, though arguably their music less so than Chino’s singing, but his voice is unique and very hard to copy or even harmonise with, although Maynard did a fantastic job (no surprise there) on the magnificent Passenger in 2000.
"Dear Agony", "Give me a Sign", and "Blow me Away", I recommend... Blow me away was in Halo 2 and it's just well done... Breaking Benjamin is also super amazing in concert
Aileen I definitely think you should check out Starset and Breaking Benjamin the song is called Waiting On The Sky to Change its an amazing song. Definitely worth a listen.
I was told by a buddy of mine that BB is a Christian rock band he said that if you pay attention to the lyrics they don’t directly mention god or Jesus but they hit it at in the lyrics
Breaking Benjamin is definitely one of my favorite bands and it was this song and So Cold that got me introduced to the band when I was a kid. There's tons of songs to dive into like Red Cold River, Ashes of Eden, Angels Fall, Dance with the Devil, Failure, Save Yourself, Close to Heaven, Until the End, Give Me A Sign, literally so many great songs to dive into!
Definitely that a great choice listen breaking Benjamin is awesome they have so many great songs they have sessions on AOL in like 2003 live it's so good.. sooner or later live amazing
I love breaking Benjamin especially when I first heard them through halo 2 on the final mission I’ve been listening to them every since and this song is a killer banger
Hahaha this was how I found them too. Love to see others went down that path. I bought the Halo 2 soundtrack for the song (and that banger Marty O'Donnell score)
I have always said that Breaking Benjamin is one of the most underrated bands out there. They have so much talent and they deserve so much credit. One of my favorite bands out there
Aileen, Breaking Benjamin has a amazing catalog of music and have grown even more impressive over the years. The album "Dark Before Dawn" came out after a hiatus which we all thought the band was gone but this album came out showing just how amazing Ben is and I think is one of his best albums in whole. Also the "Aurora" is pure beauty where he took many of his earlier hits and reimagined them with collabs with many other amazing artists. It also features a new song with "cold" front singer Scooter Ward name "Far Away" in which their voices blend together so amazingly it is hard to tell when one starts and the other ends. Just some food for thought for you when you start to look for other BB songs to react to.
I've become that typical old guy who goes "the new stuff was better" because I feel as if the new stuff is over produced, at least compared to how raw the 1st 3 albums felt. That said I still really enjoy them and I know a large part of why the new sound is that way is to help with Ben's vocals that has suffered from being sick. You can't go wrong with any of their albums.
This song is about a girl who killed herself and he's trying to find his place in her life, but she didn't even know her place in her life. The mirrors were a sign of her psychosis and the battles she was facing. He was reading her diary to know if he could've saved her. Breaking Benjamin did a thing to explain the song. Also, Breaking Benjamin hasn't made a bad album as far as I know.
Breaking Benjamin is one of those classic rock bands that is pretty much Universally loved by everyone and it’s such a nice moment getting to see you react to them for the first time. I feel like a lot of us first time listening to these guys was back in Halo 2 during a level where they had “Blow Me Away” during which was *HYPE* as a 13 year old 🥹Their choruses have always been some of my favorites! Watching you rock out to it and enjoy the song was so cute 😭 When you called it a nice “4 course meal”, I felt that. Excited for you to continue this rabbit hole! ❤️
Breaking Benjamin is awesome! i love this guys haha you need check out: Blow me away, Fade way, Cold and another others amazings songs! much love Aileen
Last year I think, The lead singer from Breaking Benjamin covered Would by Alice n Chains with Gavin Rosedale , the lead singer of Bush. It's live and worth a watch.
LOVE Breaking Benjamin. Got to see them live 5 or 6 years ago, and they put on an AMAZING set. My personal favorite of their songs is "I Will Not Bow", closely followed by "Breath". I highly recommend giving those a good listen.
Saw these guys live just a couple months ago and they still kick ass 17 years later! Just amazing energy all around and very consistent on an album to album basis. You could honestly react to anything by them and it’ll be amazing!
Ben Burnley = vocals/guitar Breaking Benjamin have been here since 2001 and going strong. They have a huge catalogue, Ben is great at cleans and screams and growls. Can’t wait for you to dive into them more, they have songs that kick ass, hit you in the feels and melt your face off too. Been a die hard fan since day one 🤘🏻🤘🏻 can’t wait to see more!!
Give us more Breaking Benjamin reactions please! So Cold, Without You, Angels Fall, Failure, Dear Agony, Give me a Sign, Hollow and more and more...❤️❤️❤️
I listened to Breaking Benjamin when I was about 15. So nostalgic to hear it again 15 years later. For me, their best music is "Dance with the devil", "Until the end" and "Blow me away" from Halo 2 OST.
More Breaking Benjamin please!!! They have NO SINGLE bad song! Also they have a trilogy of music videos: Red Cold River, Torn in Two and Tourniquet. They have a whole storyline and they are a masterpieces.
Undeniably one of their best cover to cover albums is where this tune nests. 2007 I was a manager at a bar and when we closed we would crank this loud as shit, the bartenders and kitchen smoked a blunt with me while I counted cash, and they got to cleaning. The memories we weave with music.
Yeah don’t pretend to like it cuz you have simps that would literally lick your toilet seat when you’ve sat on it, so depressing what the world has come to tbh, money doesn’t equate respect
he aqui un comentario en español(? me encantan tus reacciones senpai porfavor una reaccion de Parados de Survive said the prophet me encantaria ver! D_D
Actually, every song by them is great, EVERY. I really recommend you to keep it going with this band. Give attention to the ones that people don’t ask for as well, cause there are so many songs good songs that we forget to mention some of them.
I saw them quite a few years ago when they were just getting started. Local town fair that has a weekend concert for pretty much anyone that wants to play. They kicked ass, sounded very good for what I thought was a garage band. Actually they had just been signed and were putting out their first album, they just lived in the next town over from me. Can't go wrong with any of their songs.
Breaking Benjamin is so so so good. So much emotion in the lyrics and the music itself. A lot of their songs help me get through moments when I'm sad and in a bad mood, also a lot of energetic songs that motivate me to move. You should definitely react to more of their hits like "Breath", "So cold", "Angels fall", but also to some neglected and in my opinion underrated songs like "Simple design" and "Sooner or later" etc. Greetings, I like your content a lot, keep it up and enjoy!
Love Breaking Benjamin. I remember listening to their first album over and over again. You should definitely give Chevelle and Evans Blue a listen to, as well. For me, album after album, Chevelle just truly stand above.
I seen them in person in TX. When they didnt play this song and walked off the stage the crowd yelled it over and over until they came back and delivered🔥🔥🔥 Was a great experience duing a good time in my life miss those days. When I hear these songs it just flashes me back to the more simple times..
Breaking Benjamin is my all time favorite band! I have been listening to them since middle school and have not looked back since then! Benjamin Burnley has this unique talent with his voice to go 0 to 100 real quick. Their song Crawl is a perfect example of it, so is Breath! I am happy you are getting to do a song of them, and definitely a banger to start with! I'd highly suggest you check out songs from their albums Phobia, Dear Agony, and Dark Before Dawn. My all time favorite song from them is Dear Agony from the album of the same name. Thank you Aileen! Much love!
I have so much love for Breaking Benjamin. They were my favorite band for a pretty long time back in college.

It just hit my style so perfectly. I Will Not Bow is another of my favorites by them
Benjamin Burnley is one of the best voices in music. His screams! 🔥
Oh my God yes.
His acoustic version of “Dear Agony” 😮💨
It’s worth keeping in mind that this song came out in 2006, so a lot of the sounds and vocal techniques that may seem very familiar now were quite original back then. In fact, the whole song felt quite avantgarde when it was first released.
Holy shit, I didn't remember it was that old. They were way ahead of their time then
They had singles even before Diary that showed this
No it didn't dude lol. This was already overdone by the time it came out. Korn and Deftones had been doing it for 15 years at this point.
@jasonknotts5001 comparing Korn, Deftones and BB was a choice, I'll give you that, very little in common between any of those bands
@@jasonknotts5001 Ha ha, fair enough. In my defence, I deliberately used the word “quite” twice by way of qualification.

Red Cold River is a must
My favorite by far
That entire trilogy
"Dear Agony", "Give me a Sign", and "Blow me Away", I recommend... Blow me away was in Halo 2 and it's just well done... Breaking Benjamin is also super amazing in concert
That music video ROCKS 😱🤘🤘
the memories that come flooding back when the start of the song plays... one of my all time favorite songs
One of my all time favotite bands. They have nothing but bangersssssss
My favorite (newer) band. Especially Dear Agony to present. Incredible live!
He's like Till from Rammstein. He has two different voices, and that's Great. Singer is very Talented.
Aileen I definitely think you should check out Starset and Breaking Benjamin the song is called Waiting On The Sky to Change its an amazing song. Definitely worth a listen.
You should hear the acoustic version...
I was told by a buddy of mine that BB is a Christian rock band he said that if you pay attention to the lyrics they don’t directly mention god or Jesus but they hit it at in the lyrics
You must be thinking of Skillet. Breaking Benjamin's songs aren't about God
I wish diary of jane had a hd video 🥲😊
Breaking Benjamin is definitely one of my favorite bands and it was this song and So Cold that got me introduced to the band when I was a kid. There's tons of songs to dive into like Red Cold River, Ashes of Eden, Angels Fall, Dance with the Devil, Failure, Save Yourself, Close to Heaven, Until the End, Give Me A Sign, literally so many great songs to dive into!
You should check out the song called “water” my personal favorite.
Two of my fav are Anthem Of The Angels & Breath ❣️
Oh my god Until the End is an amazing song!
So Cold for next BREAKING BENJAMIN react?
So Cold, Away, Breath, Failure, Red Cold River etc. are all absolute bangers by BB.
I Will Not Bow as well
Firefly is such a banger as well
Blow me away and I can’t remember the name of one…. Something like dancing with devil or dancing in a burning room …. Something
to name a few.
"evil angel" is criminally underrated, "I will not bow" and "until the end" are also some of my faves. those are definitely some highlights.
Try so cold
"So Cold" is a must. That was one of my post-deployment songs.
yeeesss I need to see a reaction for this 😱
Definitely that a great choice listen breaking Benjamin is awesome they have so many great songs they have sessions on AOL in like 2003 live it's so good.. sooner or later live amazing
Jumping in on that!
I love breaking Benjamin especially when I first heard them through halo 2 on the final mission I’ve been listening to them every since and this song is a killer banger
The instrumental of Blow Me Away at the Mausoleum of the Arbiter was epic, the Hunters, Elites and Brutes fighting.
@@OMGtheykilledKenny42 omg yes it was the best part but scary on legendary😂
Hahaha this was how I found them too. Love to see others went down that path. I bought the Halo 2 soundtrack for the song (and that banger Marty O'Donnell score)
It's crazy how many people that's where they first heard of BB me included.
Now I gotta go play halo again😂
I have always said that Breaking Benjamin is one of the most underrated bands out there. They have so much talent and they deserve so much credit. One of my favorite bands out there
This is a great song by BB … like a classic for them!! One of the songs that pushed them into stardom

Excellent song. You should check out "Breath" and "You". Dear Agony and Phobia are just phenomenal albums.

Nice, Breaking Benjamin! So many great songs!!
For some amazing vocals and emotional impact, I recommend their song The Dark Of You Feat. Derek Hough (Yes, the dancer from Dancing With The Stars!)
YAAAAASSSS!!! FINALLY you're doing BB!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Breaking Benjamin has a trilogy called The Ember Trilogy. Starting with "Red Cold River" then "Torn in Two" ending with "Tourniquet".
One of the best modern rock bands. A similar band worth checking out is RED.
I think we all would agree on enjoying to see your reaction to Will Ramos covers of sleep token. Both of them
'So Cold" & "Red Cold River" by Breaking Benjamin are great ones to check out. 🙂
Thank you! ♥️♥️
@@AileenSenpaido a reaction to puddle of nudd control
Loved the reaction Aileen. One of the best bands of the 2000s, Benjamin's voice is so good. Next song So Cold.🤘❤
Would love to see you react to Napalm (Live from Ages) by the band AVATAR. The Crows Swedish cousin pours his soul into that performance
Breaking Benjamin is awesome! i love this guys haha you need check out: Blow me away, Fade way, Cold and another others amazings songs! much love Aileen
Last year I think, The lead singer from Breaking Benjamin covered Would by Alice n Chains with Gavin Rosedale , the lead singer of Bush. It's live and worth a watch.
I agree. It's a great rendition.
LOVE Breaking Benjamin. Got to see them live 5 or 6 years ago, and they put on an AMAZING set. My personal favorite of their songs is "I Will Not Bow", closely followed by "Breath". I highly recommend giving those a good listen.

Another artist you should check out is Staind. Listen to Right Here and Lowest In Me.
Saw these guys live just a couple months ago and they still kick ass 17 years later! Just amazing energy all around and very consistent on an album to album basis. You could honestly react to anything by them and it’ll be amazing!

Breaking Benjamin - Polyamorous
Very fun song ;)
Ben Burnley = vocals/guitar

Give us more Breaking Benjamin reactions please! So Cold, Without You, Angels Fall, Failure, Dear Agony, Give me a Sign, Hollow and more and more...❤️❤️❤️
I recommend the Song Polyamorous from them. It´s a Banger.
I listened to Breaking Benjamin when I was about 15. So nostalgic to hear it again 15 years later.
For me, their best music is "Dance with the devil", "Until the end" and "Blow me away" from Halo 2 OST.
Angels fall and dear agony ( Aurora Version ) have to be some of their best work.
Another song from them you should check out is Feed The Wolf
Breath, So Cold, Unkown Soldier, I will not Bow, Dear Agony. So many amazing Songs from this band
So many good breaking benjamin songs to check out. I Will Not Bow, So Cold, Dear Agony.
Great reaction aileen. They was so good live last month when I went to see them. Hope you are doing well this morning
One of my favorite bands! I’ve been listening to them since 2002 when their first single Polyamorous was released 🤘🏻
Love Breaking Benjamin…Listen to Forever, Blow Me Away,Lights Out,Hopeless ,Tourniquet..So many great songs
Breaking Benjamin remains my favourite band. And they were the thought behind my first Tattoo I ever got
More Breaking Benjamin please!!! They have NO SINGLE bad song! Also they have a trilogy of music videos: Red Cold River, Torn in Two and Tourniquet. They have a whole storyline and they are a masterpieces.
Yes! It’s like a mini movie and the story is powerful.
This is my absolute favorite Breaking Benjamin song. Such a classic. The acoustic version is amazing as well.
I love that song , it’s part of the gym playlist
Undeniably one of their best cover to cover albums is where this tune nests. 2007 I was a manager at a bar and when we closed we would crank this loud as shit, the bartenders and kitchen smoked a blunt with me while I counted cash, and they got to cleaning. The memories we weave with music.
That sounds like golden memories. I'm jealous
"Breath" is an absolute sick HIT!!!
My first and favourite song from Breaking Benjamin is I Will Not Bow, it was a great song and the vocals in that song are very similar to this song
Now that we've done "Jane" ... Let's do "JENNY" by NOTHING MORE! :D
Mannn this takes me back to the Linkin Park, Seether, daughty, Shinedown and red jumpsuit days 😂👌👌
We'd definitely love more! Thank you for all the vids. ❤
Yeah don’t pretend to like it cuz you have simps that would literally lick your toilet seat when you’ve sat on it, so depressing what the world has come to tbh, money doesn’t equate respect
You're in for a treat as you get into BB for the first time. Their last couple of albums were absolutely mindblowing.
Their music is great but more importantly in my opinion, they are fantastic live.
She should react to Breaking Benjamin - Far Away
he aqui un comentario en español(? me encantan tus reacciones senpai porfavor una reaccion de Parados de Survive said the prophet me encantaria ver! D_D
I like their songs "Failure"....."Into the Nothing"....."Never Again"....
I would recommend this on anyone's workout playlist. Other songs to check out include "Failure" & "I Will Not Bow"
Literally every song on everyone of their albums are fantastic
Dear agony is another good one by breaking Benjamin but a remake of dear agony featuring lacy strum
Older song to react to would be breath!
Newer song Red Cold River
I love Breaking Benjamin, I’ve seen them at least 5 times in concert. Breath and So Cold are two of my favorites
Can't believe this people never heard this song, where did they live??
Definitely gotta check out more of their songs 🤘 Had Enough is by far my favourite one atm.
They are one of my favorite bands. If you ever get a chance to see them in concert...DO IT! They are awesome in person.
Actually, every song by them is great, EVERY. I really recommend you to keep it going with this band. Give attention to the ones that people don’t ask for as well, cause there are so many songs good songs that we forget to mention some of them.
My favorite rock band of all time
I love this song so much!
Breaking Benjamin is one of my all time favorite bands!!! They are so good. Every album is great🤘🏼💯
Try "Angels Fall" at some point!!!

Can't go wrong with any of their songs.
They're song Never Again was crazy as hell and really hits yu emotionally 🤘🏽
Para mí es imposible tener una canción favorita de ellos,porque tienen una gran variedad de música,cada canción es especial

OMG!! How did I miss this. This is one of my favorite bands. I saw them twice now.
Great choice, great band 💯 love your reactions 😍
Love Breaking Benjamin. I remember listening to their first album over and over again. You should definitely give Chevelle and Evans Blue a listen to, as well. For me, album after album, Chevelle just truly stand above.
Sadly, a very underrated band... Great lyrics, good music and a beautiful voice IMO!
