Breaking Benjamin (with Theory of a Deadman & The Exies) March 27, 2005

Breaking Benjamin hit it big with the #2 "So Cold," "Skin," "Polyamorous" and their latest, the already-top-20 "Sooner or Later." They released their second album We Are Not Alone last year. They tastefully juxtapose shadowy dynamics and scary roars with hopeful choruses and acoustic interludes, managing to tame the darker side of mentality while engaging the optimism of the senses. Alternative rock and post-grunge fans of Crossfade, Default and Smile Empty Soul will find a home here. Realize the power of a cool hard rock riff with the breakouts of 2005.
