In 2000, guitarist Aaron Fink and bassist Mark James Klepaski left a band that was signed to Universal and was gaining commercial acceptance to join forces with vocalist Ben Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel to form Breaking Benjamin. They debuted in 2001 with their first album, Saturate, with their song 'Polyamorous' and were signed by Hollywood Records shortly afterward. We Are Not Alone, their second album, was released in 2004 and they became wildly popular all over the USA through their single, 'So Cold'.
Breaking Benjamin is a unique band with mind-blowing vocals and it's a shame that they have only recently been given even half of the recognition that they deserve.

A great band, known for their perfect balance of singing and screaming vocals, and a dark, heavy style.
I enjoy Breaking Benjamin.

A band that is insanely fabulous, but needs to get off its ass and work on new material and start flying on planes.

Overproduced cookie cutter nu-metal/emo/pop, flavour of the month trash aimed at suburban mall rats. A typical song contains angsty teen lyrics that speaks to those who've had their xbox taking away by their mommies because they didn't clean their room.
Breaking Benjamin Fan #1: Hey bro I saw you at the Breaking Benjamin concert last night.
Breaking Benjamin Fan #2: Yeah holmes, it was pretty rad but goddamn my ass is sore from all that gay sex.

Another failed attempt at pop rock. People complained Grunge wasn't real rock, now we have a tool mimic on our hands. I only listened to this band, because Billy Corgan cowrote a few songs. If you're looking for some minor talent, I suggest Britney Spears or 50 Cent over this shit any day. And to the dork who robbed his name from FFVII, and not to mention his little brothers anal virginity, obviously you had to have been in touch with the mainstream to have ever heard of Breaking Benjamin in the first place, you fuckin' hypocrite. It's about time to grow up and quit classifying yourself as a rebel, or hasn't your crotch fuzz finished growing in yet?
Lonely Goth Boy Rufus Shinra: Hey guys! Breaking Benjamin's cool!
