I'm sick of them. Like Phil said, pretty typical alt. hard rock/nu-metal. And considering I can hardly stand the way alt. rock has gone during the past three years, there's very little chance I would like any of those type bands.

The music industry picked the wrong type of alt. rock to capitalize on. I wish they'd have gone with bands like Flying Tigers, PrimeSTH, Mesh, Flickerstick, Treble Charger, Depswa, and Bliss66 than Puddle Of Mudd *gag*. Or better yet, start pushing Industrial music again. :D

i used to like them, based on the couple songs the radio kept playing, then i had to review their live album. They are horribly derivative.

That CD i had to review is now a shiny, cut up chunk of a mosaic my kids made for an interesting project. I highly recommend this disposal method for CDs that turn out to suck. Tin snips & epoxy are an endlessly fascinating source of amusement for lil ones

Oh, you are my new favorite person!! Prime STH and Flickerstick are two of my fav-o-rite bands. I've seen Flickerstick several times, and nobody puts on a show like them.

Anyway, you're right on the money. I'll never figure out why we get force-fed **** like Hoobastank, Trapt, and Staind... :sick:

*Edit* Oh, I forgot this is a Breaking Benjamin thread. They're not bad. But, they're not great, either...

I was at my local record store today with a friend and I saw a kid looking at a Breaking Benjamin cd. I turned to my friend and said, "I always think it's funny when I go to a record store and see people paying for albums that I get sent for free." The kid looking at the record overheard me apparently, because he turned and asked me if I thought it was worth $15.98. I told him no. So he put the album back.

I'm like a superhero.

Phil...saving teenyboppers from wasting their hard-earned allowance money on derivative nu-metal bands since 2005.

Hey, it's people like us saving the world from bad music one person at a time.

I hope The Theory doesn't read this. I think he likes Slipknot. Sucker!
