Free Music Review: Awesome debut from Breaking Benjamin
Hit: 5 Stars
I got Breaking Benjamin's debut album from 2002 "Saturate" a day before my birthday back in September of just last year, and it immediately got me hooked to this band. Then in the weeks to come, I would go on to buy their following two albums 2004's "We Are Not Alone" and 2006's "Phobia". Of all three Breaking Benjamin albums thus far, "Saturate" is my favorite album by these guys, and it also became one of my favorite modern rock albums to listen to as well. True, I know some of my fellow metalheads and Amazon friends won't like BB or this album, and if they don't, that's just fine with me, I understand. Just because I'm listening to these guys right now, doesn't mean I'm gonna stop listening to Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Dream Theater, Suffocation, Death, Obituary, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Atheist, Nile, Kreator, Behemoth, and every other great metal band alike. I'm not even a big fan of mainstream/radio rock whatsoever, but Breaking Benjamin are one of those few bands that actually catch my attention and turn me on whenever I feel like rocking out.
Anyways onto the album. This album is just full of addicting melodies and catchy choruses, and the lyrics are good and they're very meaningful too. Every song on here is great and worth listening to, and not to mention the musicianship on here is of course good, strong and tight in it's own right. Ben Burnley's vocals are just awesome on here and very melodic. Aaron Fink's guitar riffs are very good and catchy too. Together he and Ben together both do a nice splendid job at taking these simple little riffs and actually MAKING something out of them. Mark James Klepaske even lays down some nice basslines good enough to give the listener a nice pulse, and Jeremy Hummel's drumming is very good as well. The first song "Wish I May" is a nice solid rocking opener and one of my favorite songs on the album. I like the riffs, the vocals, and the overall beat of this song. Track two "Medicate" is definately my favorite song on here. The feel of this song is just awesome, and Ben's vocals are just great, and the chorus is very addicting as well, I love it. The third track "Polyamorous" is another favorite of mine as well one of the band's best known songs. The guitar riffs are very catchy, and there's some nice bass from Mark, and the drum beat is awesome. Other favorites on here include "Skin", "Natural Life" (which features some cool basslines at the beginning as well as some great riffs and another great strong chorus), "Next to Nothing", "Home" (another strong heavy rocker which include references from the classic movie "The Wizard of Oz"), "Sugarcoat" and "Shallow Bay". The hidden track "Forever" is good as well. Oh yeah didn't I mention that this cd also contains an enhanced video for "Polyamorous", it's really cool. Please read on for my song ratings.
Jeremy's song ratings:
1. Wish I May (3:58) - 5/5
2. Medicate (3:45) - 5/5 My favorite song on here. Love the chorus
3. Polyamorous (2:56) - 5/5
4. Skin (3:20) - 5/5
5. Natural Life (4:00) - 5/5
6. Next to Nothing (3:43) - 5/5
7. Water (4:12) - 5/5
8. Home (3:37) - 5/5
9. Phase (4:31) - 5/5
10. No Games (3:35) - 5/5
11. Sugarcoat (3:38) - 5/5
12. Shallow Bay (4:05) - 5/5
(Hidden Track) Forever - 5/5
Overall, Breaking Benjamin's "Saturate" is an awesome debut album from these guys, and a great modern rock album that's just downright fun to listen to. I'll definately take these guys over stupid lifeless bubblegum pop sellouts such as Kelly Clarkson, Hillary Duff, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears (whom which all make me sick) anyday of the week. So anyways, if you're a fan of Breaking Benjamin, then by all means you must own this album. I also recommend their other two albums "We Are Not Alone" and "Phobia" too. Enjoy!!
