Some symphonic metal would please me too.

Album Rating: 3.5

I also wonder what it would look like if they attempted an epic song of say...7 minutes. Would be interesting to see.

Album Rating: 4.5

If the peak of their writing skills was displayed on Dear Agony I doubt they could do that

"a la Red?"



Exactamundo. Or maybe not that unsubtle... Say one of Biffy Clyro's songs where they use an orchestra.

i would love to see BB make a 7 minute song...and no cheating aka 3 min song, 3 mins silence, hidden track

Album Rating: 3.5

Just cause they typically use the radio-rock format doesn't mean they're incapable of doing one, I mean Shinedown did one on Us and Them and it was great.

good choice Phobia is their best

Album Rating: 3.0

Agree with all the sentiment here, but they've released a few albums now; is it simply going to continue to be unfulfilled potential.

Album Rating: 3.5

lakes you made a good choice with phobia, thats a great starting point for BB. if you honestly don't like that after several listens, then i'll leave you be ;)

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah, I think 'Phobia' is also their best, although I'd probably rate their 2nd LP around about the same.

Well, while I disagree Phobia's their best, I also would pick Phobia as a good point of start with BB.



What are you guys going to ask next? Ben, make a Britney-like song! Come on, epic's not BB's thing.

Album Rating: 3.5

idk, i'd put we are not alone as their best and the best starting point

Album Rating: 3.5

As far as I'm concerned any of their last 3 albums would work.

"What are you guys going to ask next?"



A tour of Australia would be nice.

Oh, yeah, that would be great if Ben wasn't afraid of flying.

Scaredy cat.

I just like this. It's better than phobia imo, and I found w.a.n.a too boring to sit straight through - So Cold is like my favorite BB song though

Album Rating: 3.0

Well, to each their own on the albums... This definitely isn't a 4.5 to me. And yeah, 'So Cold' is right up there for me too.

Davey a question.



You admit that this is more consistent than Phobia, right? And Ties claims (and claims right) that this album is mostly a combine of all strenghts from their last albuns. Taking this into account, how do you justify this as a stepdown from Phobia?

Album Rating: 3.0

I'm unsure if I admitted that this is more consistent. I'd say they're about equal on that; this may be a touch more if anything. I think it TRIES to combine all the strengths of their last 3 albums, but it doesn't really come off. In fact, it almost works against them since progression is a little disappointing.



The other major factor for me is that while I like 'I Will Not Bow', I think the stronger songs on 'Phobia' are better than on here.
