Far from their best, but I'm just happy for new stuff from them

It's...fine? I like some of the vocal flourishes, the synthesizers, and the heavier guitar parts. This still basically just sounds like BB 101 though.

That said, still better than what their active rock peers (Disturbed, Godsmack, 5FDP) have been putting out as of late.

I enjoyed it, even if it's not really anything different

Breaking Benjamin AND Three Days Grace back in the same month? What year is it?

I like that they tried to expand their sound a bit on Ember. This is fine but it's soooo generically Breaking Benjamin almost like a parody of itself haha. That chorus in particular goddamn they didn't even try.

Still enjoyed it though, I like me some basic BB.

Can't say they aren't consistent at least, after so many years. Track is decent I guess. Tho I don't have any reason to go back to their more recent material.

Sounds like asking an AI music generator to write a good hard breaking Benjamin track. Extremely formulaic and nothing new but still pretty enjoyable and gets the head banging a bit, not much more you could expect of these guys at this point

Loved "We Are Not Alone" and "Phobia". After that, they've kind of become a band that if anyone's ever bumping their older or recent stuff in their car/place/etc, I never mind and vibe to it. You know...one of those bands you don't go out of your way to listen to, but can't really complain if you're hearing them. This song kind of fits that bill too

I wonder if these bands who seem to write the same sounding stuff for decades do so consciously to preserve their brand or if that's sort of all they're capable of writing or a bit of both?

One of the only bands where I accept them just releasing the same album, over and over again.

It sounds like Breaking Benjamin, they’re nothing if not consistent. I really wish they’d expand a bit but I get it, why bother doing that when you can just pump out consistent radio rock and have it pay you enough to not work again for 6 years

Standing true to their standard. This is a good song. Can't wait to see this new album get 3.2'ed.

Honestly feel like this is a little too by the numbers, even for them. Last album actually had some bangers I thought. Hopefully, they have a couple tracks on the level of psycho or tourniquet

Sounds like every other song they've ever done. Not bad I guess but quite forgettable.

I was gonna say this is one Breaking Benjamin-ass sounding song lol. Definitely guilty pleasure band. They make really compelling hooks and the dude's got a great voice.

This basically sounds like it could fit comfortably on Ember. Not bad, but not anything too special either. Album will likely end up a 3/5.

They're a consistent good to great band. Sometimes I yearn for simple riffs and hooks and they have always delivered that.

"the dude's got a great voice."

Idk, haven't found any live recording of him that I liked.

Also his screams are kinda annoying.

BB 101 ass song. And I dig it lol. They're like a comfort band for me, they just do the same shit over and over and it always sounds solid and I get some level of enjoyment out of it.

Song could be from their 2004 album I dug, which is also the last time I listened to these guys

Yeah you could easily convince me this was something off Phobia. I dunno, something sort of comforting about a sound unshackled by present-day precepts and trends.

Love the first two albums. They became very meh but even then, his voice ruled. This isn't bad at all.
