100% agree. I said on another comment that I think they get grouped in many people's minds with generic bands with way less talent. So unfortunate. They have their wheelhouse for sure, but it's a great one that they nail almost every time. Love these guys, and have for about 16 years now.
@@CavTrpr79 if I want to get a reaction from a specific song or band, then I search that and it pops up a lot. I know Alex Hefner has reacted to a number of BB songs. He’s a quirky guy but I love him.
@@protege1717 indeed the one that had the mri of his brain lyrically it was again bout his addiction battles but lyrically helped me with me mental battles
Although yes addiction is a big thing that bands will talk about, I feel although its not only about addiction, same with I hate everything abt you and other songs, its about both
Breaking Benjamin is agruably my favorite artist of all time. I grew up listening to their music daily, and one thing I love about this album in particular is that as the name indicate Ben (the lead singer and writer of all the lyrics) wrote all the songs about specific phobias he has
They get lumped in with much more generic bands with way less talent. It's unfortunate. They definitely have their formula down, but it's solid and I know what to expect from them.
I wouldn't call this metal core.. It's close, though. It's missing the punk. As I Lay Dying Born Of Osiris Seeing Things Left to Suffer Bring Me The Horizon Killswitch Engage Motionless In White While She Sleeps blessthefall Bad Omens
😂I bet he would be like wtf with Ice Nine Kills! I’m a fan, especially of the older stuff from predator becomes prey but for a new listener some of their stuff can be crazy!
@@xDecadence i used to think the same thing but after seeing them live it's just not true. the problem isn't they aren't just about the music, they are an entire theatrical experience, they are definitely not overrated.
@@midwestmulisha820that's because of him getting sober after years of excessive drinking. Gave him a disease that destroyed his voice. If you already know this, cool, just throwing this out there.
Breaking Benjamin “So Cold” or “Ashes of Eden” are such good songs too! I just saw them in concert last week for the third time and i’m always blown away.
I remember thinking "So Cold" was unbeatable, that they couldn't do better than that. Then I heard the drop on "Diary of Jane" and I was dumbfounded. Not only was it better and heavier, but it was tighter, more emotional, and sent shivers down my spine. Absolutely monumental track. I hope our man here does more reacts to them.
Came here to say the same thing. Y’all gotta quit saying Diary of Jane. They have way better songs that never made it to radio. He’s reacted to So Cold And Diary already guys
I feel like when it comes to bands like this & linkin park.. they are not "trash or pass" because of how amazing all of their songs are, it's more of just a reaction and enjoying the song
My top 10 are 1. The Diary of Jane 2. I Will Not Bow 3. Angels Fall 4. So Cold 5. Dear Agony 6. Give Me A Sign (Forever and Ever) 7. What Lies Beneath 8. Breath 9. Until The End 10. Without You
I'm an OG GEN-X but, Breaking Benjamin is my favorite "new" band! "Ashes to Eden" was my Anthem during my cancer battle. "Give Me A Sign" was my cry to God that I would survive. 6&1/2 yrs later, I'm still here
@@ZoddNosferatu1 I agree but, I call it # 2. Anthem of the Angels is my favorite because it reminds me so much of the last 3 days I was with my Daddy before he died. Ashes to Eden came out right before I was diagnosed with cancer. It listened to it alot!
Glad you got around to this request! One of their more underrated songs in my honest opinion. Happy you liked the song and look forward to your next post!
@@justanothermando8834 It's definitely not their most popular with I will not Bow and Diary of Jane but it's definitely up there on the list. I say underrated since I never see anyone do reactions to it or listen to it in general so I'm glad he finally picked this one up for a listen. All of their songs are top tier in my mind.
You're in for 1 hell of a Journey. Breaking Benjamin is Amazing. Especially once you catch up to their return album Ember! And their newest song Far away. There is a album after Ember called Aurora which is a reimagining of past hits. And really is awesome some songs are so much different they're like a Reimagining or part 2 of sorts. They are working on new album and are touring with Bush. And will be starting new tour with Disturbed which are going to be insane I've seen them both live. Breaking Benjamin was good but Disturbed is Incredible.
Breaking Benjamin doesn't have a bad album in my opinion. I drive a delivery van for a living and I put em on stream on the radio. I listen to them all day and don't skip songs once. Their music just vibes with me
Breaking Benjamin helped me get out of a really bad spot in my life. It's what helped me realize that music is more than a way to pass the time. It can mean so many things to people. It's powerful in a way that nobody can take from you. It can inspire you, push you and make you a better version of yourself.
Breaking Benjamin's "Breath" is simply one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The instrumental arrangement is brilliant, the lyrics are intelligent, the music manages to capture that sadness of being a helpless and depressed young man in a poetic way. I think "Breath" is an unfairly underrated song.
My man finally touched my favorite band huge huge W. Their music is insane and it helped me through though times man. Their best album is dear agony imo. Sound and lyrics are INSANE. The whole album is peak emotion but i‘d recommend the songs Into the nothing, hopeless, without you and dear agony if u wanna react more to them. 👍🏻
@@oscaryanezzavala I wouldn’t say that. I’d say hard rock or post grunge. I’ve heard every song of theirs on repeat from first album to 2018. They’re more melodic than heavy.
can you do please ON GOD by Juice WRLD ft.Young Thug that shit is fire i know you would like it. Or do Bad Boy by Juice WRLD ft.Young Thug thats fire too
They are definitely not "Metal Core" lol. Alt-Rock, I could agree with. But, while their music style follows a standard formula, their lyrics have a meaning that are soooo relatable to anyone and everyone. Love your reactions brother! Keep that shit up!
My man, there are so, so many great tracks from these guys. Of course they have a few misses, but on average, they're a superior modern rock band with a signature style that's instantly recognizable. Do as many reacts to them as you can handle - we'll watch them all, for sure.
Oh my friend this is just hard rock. Now metalcore is bad omens, ice nine kills, motionless in white, trivium, catch your breath, dark divine, the word alive. Tons of amazing acts. This is still a good track though!
This song is about Benjamin Burnley's alcoholism and hypochondria. The lyrics are actual about his hopes to find the part of himself from before he was dependent on alcohol and his desires to kill the part of himself that is dependent and rise again. He ultimately ends up doing so by the time of the album he released after this one ("phobia" to "dear agony") Dear agony was the first album he wrote completely sober and is basically entirely about his symbolic suicide and rebirth in overcoming hus addiction, and the pain it put him through.
This album got me through an incredibly difficult time in my life, over a decade later and I still get transported back in time to that moment in my life when I was playing this on repeat.
To me this is a song of self reflection and growth through trauma and tragedy by facing your old self to become someone new. Or it could be a breakup song
The stops and pauses are called "time signatures", the amount of notes in ever count. So next time you want to reference it you know the word for it now.
dude, you gotta try Killswitch Engage then if you're gonna listen to metal core. Howard era, Jesse era, both are fire, check their duet. favorite band. from BB, follow up with "crawl" maybe it has to do with this one, if we talking about a bad break up. take care!
More of a Hard Rock band. Perhaps Alt Metal. I love these guys. You should check out some metalcore though (I Prevail, Memphis May Fire, Silent Planet etc)
My interpretation on the line “so sacrifice yourself, and let me have what’s left” is the person he is referring to is choosing to give all of themself to something else, someone else, everything else, whatever it is, and just giving him the the leftover scraps of whatever attention they can give. Basically not making him any sort of priority in life when he expected to be a priority. Just what it makes me think of

please do falling in reverse last resort reimagined
Hello my man, can you do a reaction for Am I dreaming by Metro Boomin???
Man, you're the only reaction channel that I've found that has touched Breaking Benjamin. They're such a great band that seems to be so overlooked.
100% agree. I said on another comment that I think they get grouped in many people's minds with generic bands with way less talent. So unfortunate. They have their wheelhouse for sure, but it's a great one that they nail almost every time. Love these guys, and have for about 16 years now.
Really? Literally have seen dozens that have done BB.
@@CarrotHawk maybe I’m looking in the wrong place. I’m subscribed to a few of the big ones and I’ve definitely never seen BB on their channels.
@@CavTrpr79 if I want to get a reaction from a specific song or band, then I search that and it pops up a lot. I know Alex Hefner has reacted to a number of BB songs. He’s a quirky guy but I love him.
In the rock community they aren't
Not metalcore, more Alternative Metal. But Breaking Ben is and will always be a favorite
They are not metal bro. Hard Rock is their territory much like Seether and Shinedown.
Just good music.
Yep. Alt Metal like Three Days Grace and Evanescence. Metalcore is more Killswitch Engage and Of Mice and Men.
Exactly! Metalcore is Dead By April, Our Mirage, dEMOTIONAL, etc. Love these bands. 🔥❤️
More hard rock then anything but BB is the absolute best from that scene
The lyrics depicting his addiction battles
Dear Agony was a song i resonated with with when i first heard it and i still listen to to the day

they ARE my favorite band of all time.
i remember when halo 2 made them blow up like crazy lol, so many days i remember listening to them as i played runescape lol
i find myself always going back to them in between other bands.
All the songs in their album Phobia
@@andrzejwysocki609 I loved the video for halo and blow me away. That's all I think about when I hear that song
Such a great song!
Love this band..
Under-rated in my book

Bring Me The Horizon
Killswitch Engage

Bad Omens

@@xDecadence I agree with the other guy. I’ve seen them live and they’re one of my favorite bands. So I’m gonna have to disagree with you
everytime I hear ice nine kills I think nine inch nails instead
Benjamin Burnley has one of the best voices in all music and his screams are f*cking top notch
I agree
unfortunately he doesn't do any of the screaming live anymore
@@midwestmulisha820that's because of him getting sober after years of excessive drinking. Gave him a disease that destroyed his voice. If you already know this, cool, just throwing this out there.

Dear Agony......they have so much good songs
@@sebastiangreen1030 one of my favorites for sure
SO COLD is vocally one of theirs best songs in my humble opinion.
“The Diary Of Jane” is another great one. Legendary song.
I remember thinking "So Cold" was unbeatable, that they couldn't do better than that. Then I heard the drop on "Diary of Jane" and I was dumbfounded.

m.ruclips.net/video/qXoY4jzwNtc/видео.html
The entire “Phobia” album is amazing. Their best album, in my opinion.
I love these. I have been watching you for awhile and love how open you are about listening to new music. This band is one of the greats
I have yet to see you call a metal/rock song trash, and that just proves why it's an amazing genre
If I’m correct he trashed Avenge Sevenfolds ‘A little piece of heaven’. But that might have been more because of the music video 😂
@@Elysium4D😂😂 I love that song but it's not for everyone lmao
I feel like when it comes to bands like this & linkin park.. they are not "trash or pass" because of how amazing all of their songs are, it's more of just a reaction and enjoying the song
Big Breaking Benjamin fan, this song is one of my favorites from them.
One of their best, without a single question.
My top 10 are
1. The Diary of Jane
2. I Will Not Bow
3. Angels Fall
4. So Cold
5. Dear Agony
6. Give Me A Sign (Forever and Ever)
7. What Lies Beneath
8. Breath
9. Until The End
10. Without You
Who told him this was metalcore???
Breaking Benjamin helped me through some rough times. "Evil Angel" is and will always be my favorite song!
Yea i listened the day their first song came out. My grandma died the day dear agony came out. They have helped some serious people out
Evil Angel will always be IT🔥🤌🏾
Evil Angel is undoubtedly their best song to date.
Breaking Benjamin is my absolute favorite band if you react to another do just a random song because all of their songs are great
I'm an OG GEN-X but, Breaking Benjamin is my favorite "new" band!
"Ashes to Eden" was my Anthem during my cancer battle.
"Give Me A Sign" was my cry to God that I would survive. 6&1/2 yrs later, I'm still here

Breaking Bejamin - Blow Me Away. One of the most underrated songs from them. I had friends who never heard the song from him. Like what how
Your friends don't listen to good music or play good video games, apparently. 😉
Halo my friend halo
Stop asking him to react to Diary of Jane 😂. He reacted a couple years back. A simple search wouldn’t hurt
Just saw them live last week alongside Disturbed, man they sound so great live and this song especially just amazing.
Saw them live in pikeville Kentucky 2 or 3 months ago! They sounded great
same, 8th time seeing them and they're still incredible, I do wish they would start playing more deep cuts though
Saw them live this past friday(9/1/23) here in Detroit. Amazing
Yo wth Breaking Benjamin making a comeback? One of my favorite bands as a teenager!
Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite bands! 🥰👍
This band got me through rough times in the bottom of my depression, it’s hopeful and upbeat with a gritty ‘keep fighting’ message
This is one of my favorite songs/albums of my life. I was going through the hardest times of my life.. and it pulled me out of darkness.
Favorite band. Not metalcore. 90 percent Hard Rock.
Glad you got around to this request! One of their more underrated songs in my honest opinion. Happy you liked the song and look forward to your next post!

Please do more content from Breaking Benjamin. I love this reaction.
Breaking Benjamin is the Bomb. Pretty easy to play on drums. LAYED BACK DID INTRODUCE ME TO NF. IM FOREVER GREATFUL.😊
Just saw them last night with Jinjer and Disturbed. F'ing Fire show! Great Reaction! Dance with the devil is my personal favorite. Enjoy it!
That lineup is straight 🔥

Breaking Benjamin has always been awesome
You can never go wrong with Breaking Benjamin!
This is NOT metalcore. This is hard rock/alternative metal.
Phobia is such a great album. I just placed an order to buy another copy as the one I had in my car seems to have disappeared :(
I'll return it one day I promise
This album is phenomenal!
I saw them front row perform this in April
In mass?
First time listening to this cause of you. Absolute hard AF. Thanks bruv
This is rock! Not Metal or metal core. Gotta change the title. But great video.
They're more of side alternative Metal,not this song,

Rock = Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, RED, etc

about damn time u missing out on so many songs from these guys. Great vid and reaction!!
Nice react bro, but Breaking Benjamin isn't "Metalcore". They are more likely a Alt Metal/Post-Grunge band ;)
Nearly drank himself to death over a relationship, struggled with addiction & mental health etc.
Powerful stuff.
Oh my friend this is just hard rock. Now metalcore is bad omens, ice nine kills, motionless in white, trivium, catch your breath, dark divine, the word alive. Tons of amazing acts. This is still a good track though!
Id recommend listening to "Sooner or Later" or "Unknown Soldier", just any other phobia song that isnt Breath or The Diary of Jane
This song is about Benjamin Burnley's alcoholism and hypochondria. The lyrics are actual about his hopes to find the part of himself from before he was dependent on alcohol and his desires to kill the part of himself that is dependent and rise again.

Dear agony was the first album he wrote completely sober and is basically entirely about his symbolic suicide and rebirth in overcoming hus addiction, and the pain it put him through.
Idk why, but this song reminds me of the song Happy? By mudvayne, does both the songs give off similarity vibes
My favorite band of all time! Dear agony is the song that got me through loosing my son. ❤️
This album got me through an incredibly difficult time in my life, over a decade later and I still get transported back in time to that moment in my life when I was playing this on repeat.
When I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2017 I used their song "I Will Not Bow" as my fight song to beat it.
This song even today gets my chest tight guess cause im still fighting since I first heard it.......
BB was my favorite band from 2003-2010. Can't go wrong
To me this is a song of self reflection and growth through trauma and tragedy by facing your old self to become someone new. Or it could be a breakup song
Breaking Benjamin is the only band where I like almost all there songs, with other bands it’s usually just a few songs that I like
Breath is my favourite song from Breaking Benjamin…. Love your reaction man
The stops and pauses are called "time signatures", the amount of notes in ever count. So next time you want to reference it you know the word for it now.
This song is about Ben Burnley's struggle with addiction and staying sober.
Breaking Benjamin epic band bruh
Breaking benjamin lead the path to every metal or nu metal band we have today. They all say Benjamin was their inspiration
BB is my life,brother they're have a very a such good catalogue of music heavy and good
This band is simply AMAZING. Lyrical genius. Make sure you take a deep dive. You should do Dear Agony. The power in his lyrics will floor you.
This band is amazing one of my favorite for sure
Same here. I saw them live last year in Savannah and it was freaking amazing. It’s a must
I just saw them last night in charlotte NC. They were amazing.
You could do probably 30 more Breaking Benjamin videos and still not get bored, from my hometown, theyre literal legends
These dudes ROCK. from right around my block love hometown heroes!!!!!!!
Great video and song but in no way in any world on any timeline has breaking Benjamin ever been metalcore
Idk if BB is "metalcore" bro
its not LOL
Breaking Benjamin is alternative metal / post grunge
This whole album is absolutely GOATED
Listen To Hear me calling by Juice WRLD
This song definitely helped me through a terrible breakup
Id love to see a reaction to Parkway Drive, the biggest metal act at the moment!
dude, you gotta try Killswitch Engage then if you're gonna listen to metal core. Howard era, Jesse era, both are fire, check their duet. favorite band.
from BB, follow up with "crawl" maybe it has to do with this one, if we talking about a bad break up. take care!
Imagine hearing this the day it came out. 😂😂😂 you hella late bro
Diary of Jane and Cold are another awesome BB songs, amongs few others that are rly well done.
More of a Hard Rock band. Perhaps Alt Metal. I love these guys. You should check out some metalcore though (I Prevail, Memphis May Fire, Silent Planet etc)
My interpretation on the line “so sacrifice yourself, and let me have what’s left” is the person he is referring to is choosing to give all of themself to something else, someone else, everything else, whatever it is, and just giving him the the leftover scraps of whatever attention they can give. Basically not making him any sort of priority in life when he expected to be a priority. Just what it makes me think of
Please do Never Again from Breaking Benjamin!
Oh man this is such a good song. This whole album was amazing.
u should try something for men like Deathcore
Is Breaking Benjamin good live?
Amazing. Seen them three times
