Saturate

I love this band and am so glad to have found their debut album!

The case was cracked when it arrived. Other than that, I love this CD.

Great album, not much else to say

This CD has been reviewed plenty of times already, but I just have to add my praise. Breaking Benjamin are masters of "the hook", making hard rock songs that are seriously loud yet irresistibly catchy, not just a lot of noise. In my opinion, "Saturate" is the finest piece of rock artistry to come along since the work of Stone Temple Pilots and Tool. Ben Burnley is a talented songwriter and vocalist, bending his voice into an amazing range from almost choir-boy-like smooth tones to edgey loud soaring choruses, to near-unintelligible screaming (which he wisely uses sparingly...just enough to spike your attention when you're getting complacent). He has a way of tweaking the end of some words with a kind of wailing that I find addictive. The guitar player also has an original & excellent style. It's too bad this album didn't get promoted better. If you like their more recent & better-publicized "We Are Not Alone", you really need to buy "Saturate". "Saturate" has a harder overall feel than "We Are Not Alone", but I love them both.

This is the best album of 2002 and I see no sign of another disc eclipsing it anytime soon. The first song, "Wish I May", is the best with colorful, thought-provoking lyrics about friendship and the life that people leave behind. Another highlight is track four "Skin". This is just a catchy rock anthem that you will put on repeat. Just put the whole thing on endless repeat and I defy you not to do the air drums/air guitar. The only songs that keep this from being a perfect album are the last few but even they grow on you. If you end up liking this album, appreciating the lilting, sometimes haunting melodies, check out Outspoken. If your musical tastes overlap with mine to that point, needing meaningful lyrics to get really into an album, be sure and check out The Handsome Family and Atomic Eyes; they're from different genres but their songs are both eerily poetic.

The BEST band ever!!! There isn't one bad song by them(in my opinion)- which is very rare to find. This is their "heaviest" CD. I've been a fan for 11+ years and already own this CD but its in bad shape now and needed a new copy. Another reviewer thinks Breaking Benjamin sounds like Disturbed....I'm a fan of Disturbed and I fully disagree, they sound nothing alike- yes this CD is "heavier" like disturbed, that's about it. If you like toned down music try out the other Breaking Benjamin CD's.

Breaking Benjamin's first album to me came out as a sucess and great start for this legendary band. im just going to go over my personal opinion and review of each song. --Wish i may (9/10) I love the intro and the gitaur which is really hard and plays well with the others elements of the song the gitaur solo/break this is one of my many favs of the album. to me though this song doesnt feel like it should be in the begining there are other songs that could've switched places with the song. --Medicate (8/10) Again another great song the word medicate is used a little too much but that kind of is the point but because of that nothing really sticks out about the song --Polyamourous (8/10) I think this song is just overrated nothing again sticks out about the song the video was confusing at points but i got the gist of it the acoustic version he did was better. --Skin (9/10) I love the lyrics to the strong along with the strong gitaur besides the rhymes at the begining this song is pretty origonal and well written. --Natural life (8/10) A decent intro the song itself isnt that creative but goes along with just about every song in the album which is great the lyrics arent the best but aren't bad the album though would have an out of place feeling without it. u can say that this song holds all of the others together. --Next to nothing (9/10) i like the slow beginning and transition to chorus although Ben makes it choppy which feels awkward but otherwise lyrics are okay the message is pretty relateable for many its a song id buy. --Water (10/10) the newer version of the song sounds cleaner but other than that its a great song really relateable (at least for me) the double negatives used for most of the song stand out alot to me which is really easy to remember. also to make a song named water and make it this good takes real skill and talent only BB has truely one of a king --Home (7/10) No creativity points whatsoever and its noit the lyrics of the obvious theme but what reallygets me is the same style of chorus is recycled in a few songs especially in No Games. --Phase (10/10) sure the intro is unessisarily long but after sitting through some RJA songs you learn to tolerate it and once you do the intro feels like it lasts just a few seconds again this song i relate to on a personal level (hence the high rating) the ending though is in what i call the language of Ben when if you been listening to him for a whiule you can understand but for new listeners you will not understand and to be honest i can interpret the ending but i dont understand the meaning of the end. --No Games (8/10) again not a creative chorus but the lyrics are decent the dramatic like sound is nice and the question in the chorus and how he repeats it without repeating it (saying "would you" in different tonesthats what it sounds lie to me at least)coming from a questiuon at the beginning to a statement at the end. --Sugarcoat (8/10) i never really connected to the song but it still sounds great has the most screaming in it which makes sound intense the beat is new (at least to me it is ) but still nothing else sticks out --Shallow bay (10/10) i love the song the origonality the gitaur and i know you guys love it you named your website after the song its a great ending to the regular album especially the ending ofhe song wich again relates to most of the songs on the cd. i liove it --Forever (8/10) it starts out slow and peaceful and builds up twards the end i dont understand why its a bonus track you couldve just added it to the album you had 10 years... i love this album after 10 or so years its still great and mostly origonal *apologies for the many spelling mistakes i know i have a ton just dont let that be all you take away from this

Got hooked on their style with I Wish I May from the credits of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie.

basta che ascoltate una sola canzone di questo disco è capirete che è veramente ottimo! Soprattutto Home, la mia preferita!

El producto tardo un poco más de lo previsto en llegar pero es totalmente entendible dada la situación actual, a parte de eso todo muy bien. El servicio al cliente respondia rápidamente y efectivamente. Muchas gracias

Perfecto estado.

Was soll man groß zu dieser CD sagen? Einfach Breaking Benjamin! Ein sehr schönes Album mit hervorragenden Liedern. Das Booklet und generelle Artdesign sind wunderschön und die Klangqualität zeugt von hohen Standards. Must-Have für Fans, lohnenswerter Kauf für solche, die es werden wollen. (P.S. Copy Paste Rezensionen auf anderen BB-Alben meinerseits sind lediglich komfortbedingt, gibt halt bei keinem der Alben etwas zu bemängeln)

Good condition
