A not particularly intelligent album review (boo, hiss!)
Breaking Benjamin's "Phobia" as seen here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Phobia/dp/B000GFRJ44/sr=8-1/qid=1156845227/ref=pd_ka_1/202-3232611-9807001?ie=UTF8&s=gateway
Bloody hell, that's a big 'un (ooer!)
After owning it for a couple of weeks I've decided to "bless" you all with my "opinion" for each individual track and then the album as a whole.
It's not going to be smart or funny, or even very factual.
1. Intro - Does the job, quite dark and haunting but not quite long enough. 6/10
2. Diary of Jane - Powerful verse, driving chorus, raw energy and fire, very very good. 9/10
3. Breath - Tragic but powerful, soaring at times, excellent bass line. 9/10
4. You - Pretty weak, stinks of filler, morose and rubbishy. 3/10
5. Evil Angel - The intro is Breaking Benjamin By Numbers, some predictable rhymes, but really picks up about 50 seconds or so into it and ends up not too bad. 6/10
6. Until the End - One of the rare "soft ones". Quite good, the change of pace is nice, decent chorus, un-necessary shouty bit though. 7/10
7. Dance with the Devil - Dark and distant, rather bleak sounding despite it being a love song. 7/10
8. Topless - Bad. The last 40 seconds save this from getting a 2. 3/10
9. Here We Are - Very weak verses, decent chorus. Meh. 5/10
10. Unknown Soldier - More filler, basically. Sounds too amateurish. 4/10
11. Had Enough - Very good, something most of us can relate to. Sums up our chaotic thoughts pretty well. 8/10
12. You Fight Me - Haunting and hollow, tragic with a good chorus. Verses are a little 80's sounding, which isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. 7/10
13. Outro - Much, much better than the intro. The same basic premise but sliced and diced, injected with some fire. It sounds like the world is dying. 8/10
14. Diary of Jane [Acoustic] - Good song but this version is a little weedy, to be honest. 6/10
Er, some kind of conclusion is needed, I guess?
Well, it's a little hit and miss, but the good is very good with the bad just being blandy and only one truly awful song.
Um, 73 Mars bars out of a giraffe.
Real updates coming soon!
