Breaking Benjamin's fourth foray into the crowded waters of early 21st century alternative metal/post-grunge feels a lot like their first three. That's good news for longtime fans of the brooding Pennsylvania quartet, who pound each of the 11 tracks on DEAR AGONY into submission like seasoned strongmen at a country carnival. Front-loaded with the singles "Fade Away" and "I Will Not Bow" (the latter was featured in the murky Bruce Willis sci-fi film Surrogates), DEAR AGONY feels like a well-oiled machine, and producer David Bendeth, whose immaculate touch helped 2006's PHOBIA sell 131,000 copies in its first week, conjures much of the same magic here.

THOUGH THIS CD IS A ITTLE ON THE SOFT SIDE IT IS STILL VERY GOOD. IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE B.B. HAS PUT OUT A NEW CD SO HERE IT IS AND I REALLY LIKE IT. BUT COULD IT BE BETTER THAN "PHOBIA"? I DON'T REALLY THINK SO. HOW COULD THEY BEAT ONE OF THE GREATEST ALTERNATIVE ROCK SONGS THEY EVER HAD IN "DIARY OF JANE"? I STILL THINK THIS IS A GOOD EFFORT BY B.B. AND I HAVE LISTENED TO IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TWICE AND IT'S REALLY A GOOD LISTEN. CHECK IT OUT.

Not bad
This cd is better taken like medicine; in doses. Each song has good lyrics and a nice sound, but if you listen to more than a few in a row they start to sound the same. I'd advise burning them into mix cds with other music to keep the sound fresh. Standout songs are I will Not Bow, Crawl, and Hopeless.

Although I have only had limited time to review the songs, my first impression is that Breaking Benjamin has brought a different sound approach to each one of their CD's thus far, and Dear Agony is no different. This CD is a little more melodic than the previous albums, but does not leave the sound that made them who they are. I am still waiting on the all out heavy Breaking Benjamin CD, but this will most definitly keep me happy until then. It's a must for rock fans.

Once again Breaking Benjamin delivers a great album! Softer than previous outings, but still has good amount of bite to it! Lead off single I Will Not Bow does not disapoint for a harder edge, and the song Anthem of the Angels with it's orchestral parts is wonderful. This is now my second favorite BB CD [Phobia is still their best one for me].

THE ULTIMATE ROCK TRILOGY IS HERE…With an unashamed love of hard rock music and medieval/ fantasy themes, Michael Hilder has brought to life his Rock Trilogy “The Storm”, alive in all it’s glory and available now…The first installment of The Storm was released in December 2007 and has since received rave reviews, radio airplay and sales all over U.S.A, Europe, U.K and in Australia. Now the second installment is due for release in August 2009 and promises to be even more brutal in it’s depiction of life in the realm of the Palandical Forest."Hilders willingness to try any ingredients he thinks fit to make up his music pays off dividends as the album progresses. All the character dialogue within the musical is convincing and the participants should be congratulated on their role playing. Al Hey - Hard Rock HouseSet on the backdrop of the most beautiful place on earth but home to some of the most savage beings ever to walk the land, The Storm is a simple story of one man’s journey to discover the truth of his bloodline. He is the ultimate fighting machine. His father was a mighty warrior from the Norse world and his mother a direct descendant to the greatest Wizard ever to serve the Queen.“This talented Australian gent throws together about everything great the British classic rock scene of that time generated into twelve impressive gems that makes you wonder if the elapsing of the last 35 years has itself been a figment of the imagination" Dave Attrill - MetallivilleAlone, he must conquer the brutal King and the evil Warlock who serves him…“Hilder uses both his storytelling and music talents to bring in the characters, so real that you can picture them before you” ...
