To be fair Ben actually started developing brain damage from his alcoholism around Phobia. Talent wise he is a shell of his former self, its sad hearing him perform live. So I imagine this factored in his formulaic song writing structure by Phobia. What irks me more than the BB formula are a lot the lyrics, which apparently were written by trailer park Shakespeare

Dairy of Jane is still a banger

Album Rating: 3.5

Always a jam

yeah i remember listening to an interview a long time ago and ben was saying how whenever he didnt like a line he had written he would just take another drink and move on

Album Rating: 3.0

Diary of Jane, Breath, You, Topless, Had Enough are all very solid songs...and then there is you fight me, unknown soldier, until the end, here we are. really bipolar record.



@drifter

that dude drank a lot...even during his earliest gigs he is slurring and yet performing at a high level. those saturate shows are really awesome, wish i got to see them then.
