Breaking Benjamin, "Here We Are"

[fatalthirteen]

To anyone who doesn't know who they are, "Breaking Benjamin" pretty big hard rock band that have an album titled "Phobia" out now. I think the ballad "Here We Are" has great crossover potenial (just like the sadly unreleased "Forget It" from their previous disk) and would make a great third single for them.

If you like "Lips of An Angel" you should definately give this song a try-the lyrics aren't painfully cheesy and there are no 'cookie monster' vocals like those of Hinder's lead singer. I draw the comparison between the two songs because it has a great 80's power ballad-sounding guitar bridge which makes this song really standout on the album to me.

It's a good song, but after the debacle that was "Rain", I don't know if they'll be so quick to drop a crossover single from Phobia.

Hell, I didn't see what was so wrong with Diary of Jane. So Cold went for pop adds...why not DoJ?

Ya but 'So Cold' was not very successful at pop at all. I believe 'Diary of Jane' would've done better if it went for pop adds as well. And as for 'Rain', I saw it coming. They rerecording practically butchered the original IMO and its nursery rhyme reference was asking for trouble if you didn't know what kind of band Breaking Benjamin was. I do believe they should've released 'Forget It' and that it would've had at least moderate success on both the pop and rock formats.
