One thing I like about the band is their ability to reproduce the album sound on stage which, judging by the album quality, is no easy feat. I if you watch their shows, you'll notice it. First thing I thought live was that their sound men really earn their keep. And this album is no exception.I usually cringe if I detect a bit of re edits in terms of sound but the work on this video is phenomenal. Plus you can watch it in HD from the comfort of your living room. Great live show period. I never hit the NEXT button through it all. Which is rare for me since I have A.D.D. in the worst possible way. The only thing lacking for me about the band is the unbalanced stage presence. I know Ben's like some good looking guy girls go cuckoo over but he's too nice. Like somebody who's a poster boy for a university leaflet. Ben resembles somebody who didn't get the part for the lead in Smallville because he couldn't exude anger. There. The band mates really sell the mood of the songs but Ben's still a nice guy, no matter how much he tries to act tough. What he lacks for in the rock attitude department, he makes up for in song quality. I don't know about you, but I think that's much preferable to me than if it was the other way around. Few people pull off both and they have become legends in the industry. As for Breaking Benjamin, I hope nothing but the best and can't wait to see how they evolve in the music industry especially in its current state today, but that's another story altogether.

Benjamin strives for better with every album
roadbytheriver5 January 2024
BB is a perfectionist musician and this is reflected in his albums. Even though Dear Agony is my favorite album, I have at least one favorite song in every album. Benjamin has aggressive and powerful, brutal vocals and harsh music. He's not afraid to show it. He adds emotion while singing the songs. It can be said that the band has a very effective style in the genres of post grunge, alternative metal and hard rock. Until the End is one of my favorites. I think they have a stance that has not changed their style for years, trying to do better with each album. Their live performances are just as effective and quite good as the album.
