Dear Agony

Like Breaking Benjamin CD Dark Before Dawn I enjoy every single song on this CD lot of people where right this a top rated hard rock music CD with some uplifting songs thrown into the mix to help smooth things out among all their fans. Track one is a hard rock song expressing how it feels to have your body break down on you and leave you "Cold and Broken", track two is the hit single "I Will Not Bow" which how I see the lyrics as standing by your convictions no matter what you have to go threw to do so. Track three the lyrics show you how fighting to be the person you desire not to be you turn into anyways no matter how you try to stay ahead in life, track four is a uplifting song you go threw life not giving up while you wait for God to "Give you a Sign." Track five shows you a hard choice when trying to choose which side to face to give up and "let go" or fight on and "hold on", Track six is about looking at one self and seeing what truly "Lies Beneath" and being stuck there forever, track seven you hear the pain in the singer's voice about dealing with death of someone he care's lot for. Track eight you hear the anger of how much the singer dislikes the person in the song and died and is gone but wont be missed by them, track nine is an amazing song with amazing lyrics showing you no matter how much you suffer in life their is someone out their to lift your faith. Track ten is a song about no matter how much we suffer in life to never forget to "Live for the Dying" among others who need help threw their issues along the road of life, track eleven talks about being on the verge of giving up but you need that special someone to be there with you to face the darkness because they are your shinning light to get threw the darkness bringing you down. In closing an truly amazing hard rock CD with great riffs amazing lyrics that will blow you away from relating to the lyrics, another great CD by a band that I don't see leaving anytime soon.

Breaking Ben has been one of my favorite artists for the majority of the last decade. I've been headbanging to their music since Polyamorous hit the radio. Through that time, through the records Saturate, We Are Not Alone, and Phobia, each album proved the band had a wide array of talent and was capable of melding many different sounds and beats into their own style. Look at "Next to Nothing" from Saturate, "Forget it" from We are Not Alone (or "Rain" if you point out that "Forget It" was cowritten with Billy Corrigan), and "You" from Phobia. Dear Agony is a great album, but quite bluntly I expected more. I was disappointed at first, but after listening to it probably a couple dozen times or more now, I say that it is, in fact, a great album, and while it didn't quite meet my expectations for variety, it did surprise me in a couple ways. Now for what makes Dear Agony great: The album rocks from start to end. Not only does it rock, however, but it does something that previous albums did not: It flows. Each song flows into the next, making the album feel not just like a rock album, but also a story. These days when I put the CD in and play it, I find that if I'm doing something else at the time, I stop paying any attention to the album and start rocking to the drums and base and feeling myself move to the soul in Aaron's guitar and Ben's voice. A few tracks, including the title track "Dear Agony", are simply mesmerizing. So while I expected more in the way of variety, it did grow on me in the time that I've owned it. It's a great album to have, to listen to, to rock out to, and I can even program to it. I have no regrets about buying it and if I had downloaded it to listen to it at first, I would gladly pay for it now, which to me says 5 stars.

"Dear Agony" is By far one of the Best Albums I've EVER Heard. Definitely Breaking Benjamin's 2nd Best Album in my Opinon. The Vocals & Lyrics on this Album left me in Awe of their Outstanding Genius & Talent. This Album was VERY Emotional. Songs like "Hopeless" "Crawl" "I will Not Bow" & "Lights" were faster and some were Heavier like "Hopeless" & "Crawl". The Album was also Very Sad with Beautiful Lyrics & Vocals sung by Frontman Ben Burnley. "Give me a Sign" What Lies Beneath", "Anthem of the Angels" and Especially "Dear Agony" which is one of the most Beautiful & Saddest Songs I've Ever heard. Sadly this was the last Album by the entire original lineup. This Album is really a Masterpiece! I own it on CD & iTunes but I'll eventually get it on Vinyl because it's truly worth it. This Album helped me through a lot & inspired me so much. I Highly Recommend it to ANY Fan of Rock, Alternative & just Phenomenal music in general. I don't understand how you can't like this Album or even Breaking Benjamin for that matter! Lol There's SO much crappy so called "Music" today with the Hip-Hop/Rap Generation who have NO taste in real music sadly. People who are Fans of 98.8% of Rap artists like Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and don't get me started on that trashy Cardi B & especially Lil Wayne have Zero idea of what truly talented Musicians are! Only Some Hip-Hop is actually Pretty Great as long as it's NOT that Misogynistic, Bling Bling Bullshit! Haha

Llegó en un buen estado, a mi hermana le encantó mucho y más para esta navidad 10/10.

Was soll man groß Schreiben bei einer Band wie Breaking Benjamin, die ein Hammer-Album nach dem anderen abliefern?? Das aktuelles Album "Dear Agony" findet sich zu 92% auf dem selben Level wie ihr Hammer-Album "Phobia" wieder. Alle Songs wirken sehr durchdacht, bilden eine gesunde Mischung aus Rock und Metal und spiegeln den typischen Breaking Benjamin Stil wieder. Einen großen Teil des Erfolgs von BB macht wohl die Stimme des Frontsängers aus, die nicht nur Clean sehr gut rüberkommt sondern auch in den Screaming-Parts absolut geil klingt! Die Songs "I Will Not Bow" / "What Lies Beneath" / "Lights Out" haben mir auf Anhieb gefallen und gehören klar zu den besten Songs der Band (und davon gibt es nicht wenige). 70% der Songs würde ich mit 5 Sternen bewerten, die restlichen mit sehr guten 4 Sternen; Daher eine Gesamtbewertung von 5 Sternen! Wer Breaking Benjamin nicht kennt, hat eine der besten Rockbands der heutigen Zeit verpasst also hört auf jedenfall mal rein!

I'm a huge Breaking Benjamin fan. I have their logo tattooed on my arm and I even saw them live at Download, which was an incredible experience. Standing amongst all of those people, singing along to some of my favourite songs, was one of the highlights of my life. Some people were even crying when they closed their set with 'The Diary of Jane', and that just shows how beloved this band is, even in a country they'd never played in until earlier this year. I'm writing a review for this album because it's my personal favourite. It definitely seems like the band's most personal album, as some of the songs are about Ben Burnley's struggle with his illness. The title track 'Dear Agony' is a perfect example of this. There's not much more I can say, other than if you're a fan of rock music then you should have heard of Breaking Benjamin by now. Buy this album, along with the rest of their music, and you won't be disappointed.

Je n'ai découvert que depuis peu mais j'adore. Des chants prenant, et qui restent en tête, des mélodies puissantes. Je recommande.

Es el más similar a Dark Before Dawn (el que han sacado recientemente) así que si te gusta ese muy probablemente te guste este también.
