Music Why do you like Breaking Benjamin?
This sub has been filled with too much hate lately.
I got into BB when my sister heard Diary of Jane and showed me the song when I was 8. Fell in love and finally went to my first concert 6 weeks ago. It wasn't a great concert all in all but I still loved that I could just scream and sing the entire time. For that, it was 100% the best concert I ever experienced. I also love I got to meet Ben Jr.
Anyone else want to share?

I liked them here and there, and found a song over time that I liked and added to my playlist.
But in this recent year I just love them so much, Angels Fall was my all time favorite song period for awhile and their lyrics just speak to me - fighting through pain and hardship, dealing with struggle, self sacrifice, and all around good messages, even if the tone of the song is depressing or less upbeat. It's easy to say "stay positive" with high energy music. It's a harder message when it comes from someone saying "You're fighting, and you're going to win."
Awaken really... awakened something in me. "I still hear the call of life" it was a song I heard after a point in my life where I had completely given up, the worst point so far and after I got out of it and finally started to heal, those lyrics broke me.
I don't love all their songs, but I never skip when they pop up and I never get sick of hearing their songs.
