Phobia is still their best imo, followed by WANA. Worst has to be the fourth.

Phobia>WANA>DA=Saturate

I don't like the sound of Saturate, and DA was uninspired. Both are still 2.5-3s for me (except I haven't listened to Saturate in its entirety in like four years now).

I'm not sure what it is about Saturate I like so much. It's just one of those albums for me-the kind you really like but can never put your finger on quite why you like it so much. Either way I'd say it was at least better than Dear Agony, if only because it possesses character of some description.

Yeah, I think people on Sputnik like Saturate more. I should probably give it another spin, but I've really stopped listening to BB in all honesty.

What Saturate has is few songs that are totally different from what they did after it. Phase and No Games are among the best songs they've written.

I think what makes Saturate better is the Tool influence.

"I think what makes Saturate better is the Tool influence."



I never really saw the Tool influences other people do in Breaking Benjamin's work-except that the bongo introduction to Phase was essentially ripped from that one Tool song.



This album still frustrates me. Surely the ability to create playlists has rendered Best Of Collections irrelevant?

The band didn't even want this released, the record company did it because they weren't going to be making new music
anytime soon. Also, they started off as a Tool cover band, and other than just the intro to Phase, I hear the Tool
influence in intro/bridge of Natural Life and the intro of Water. Just to name a couple spots off the top of my head.

And, Shallow Bay seems kind of like Ænema (the song) in the verse guitar riffs. To me at least.

Feels like this album would have been better if they used a different track instead of rain, but meh.
