Must for fans, others listen first.

Maybe I'm biased? Maybe I'm hungry for different music? Maybe I'm just a huge benjamin fan?....this album has been a rollercoaster for me; at first I wasnt sold on it. Eh. Same songs, just redone in a different way. Ok. Gave it a listen, wasnt the best. Then I found myself singing the new versions of these songs (I'm looking at you Failure and Tourniquet). The new song is great addition but feels almost out place here with these reimagined acoustic catalog songs. I. Love. This. Album. Now. It's been on repeat all day on my 12 hour shift. This harkens to the older benjamin we all know and love. For me it's a must buy.

The vinyl is a quality release as is at this point I would expect nothing less from BB. I am no expert but this feels like 180gram goodness. Comes with a page of lyrics and a nice folding sleeve to boot.

For what it is this album it is already a 5/5 stars. For some people it may not be what they thought or are looking for, I love acoustic songs and find myself looking up harder stuff on youtube that has been stripped down and reimagined (think bad wolves meets fire from the gods). Fan of BB? Must buy. Non-fans or mainstream listeners? Maybe listen before buying.

No Punch , No Peak...Just Flat

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020

Just a rehash of BB songs that now don't have any special cords/ peaks/ or pauses. The only thing that comes through are the voices ( good, I guess) and the drums. Oh, and the drums are 1 dimensional and are overly repetitive AGAIN- just like in Ember. It's like if Lifetime had a movie and wanted to add BB songs too it, but thought the originals were too much.
Hey try these concepts next time, cuz this isn't working.
1) Demos
2) Reanimation ( Linkin Park style) - Same BB songs, same bones to the song, but let a different producer create a "different" sound to it.
3) Instrumental - make sure you reduce the drums on the new songs.
4) Acoustic-solves the drum problem.

Harsh. Yes. But this is the second in as many BB albums that won't make the transfer to any other USB/SD card for playing. It'll stay safely on my phone.

These guys are the best live and look forward to REAL new stuff.

Not really "acoustic" as the term implies, more like "Breaking Benjamin Lite"

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2020

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I was pretty stoked when I heard a few months back that this album was in the works, ordered it pretty much right away when it was available. Then I played it...

This is NOT acoustic, at least, not the way acoustic is supposed to be. There is still electric guitar, synthesized instrumentation, etc. Add to that they added in orchestral accompaniment, similar to that of "No Leaf Clover" in Metallica, or some of the songs from the Def Leppard "Slang" album.

That I can deal with, however what I can't deal with is that the album sounds rushed. They didn't put a lot of time into creating good versions of the songs. The music is really flat in a lot of the songs, and in Dear Agony, while Lacey Sturm is one of my favorite female vocalists, her voice track was too loud, overpowering the rest of the song.

"Never Again" sounds like they are singing in a bathroom, and the percussion is just... off, doesn't sound right.

I could go on and on, cliff notes: Not acoustic, more like stripped down Breaking Benjamin, and the production of the songs is just cheap and not well done. Is the album worth buying? I believe so, I still like some of the songs, but while I'd give every one of their other albums 4 to 5 stars, not this one. It just isn't that good.

Way less than expected

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2020

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I've been a huge Breaking Benjamin since hearing Polyamorous on the radio for their Saturate album, but seems sadly this album has disappointed me very much. We only got 1 actually new song even though it was assisted by the singer of Cold? I love this band so much that I remain one of few out there who bought the actual CD and got the MP3s with it, and I've had such high hopes with the new lineup featuring members from Red and Adelita's Way which are a good fit, but seems after Dark Before Dawn is where things slightly have kinda been rushed. Ember felt kinda rushed and less passionate, and then Aurora felt so throwaway. Benjamin, if you're reading this, please find a way to bring things back to what was once so great as I can remember again. You're one of my heroes as a vocalist and all, but this album really let me down. You and the newest members are more capable of greater things than this. I can't stand by and pretend this was an awesome album when it wasn't. No matter how big of a fan I still remain, even after this.

It's okay, not great

I love BB. Have for the last two decades. I was not impressed with this. I appreciate the change-up of some of their songs, but a few were super similar. I love, love the song with Gontier. Dance with the Devil is one of my top three favorites from BB, and I love the collaborative version. Dear Agony, not so much. I'm glad to have it, but I won't listen to this CD much compared to others.

Unnötig

Reviewed in Germany on January 29, 2020

Klar als Fan freut man sich natürlich wenn die Lieblingsband ein "neues" Album raus bringt.
Aber dieses hätten sie sich sparen können.
Die Streicher sowie das Klavier welches die Stücke begleitet ,sind meiner Ansicht nach viel zu kraftlos.
Für Gitarrenspieler zum begleiten finde ich die CD optimal.

全曲ヘビロテ

Reviewed in Japan on February 5, 2020

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

普段はあまりアコースティックバージョンとかリミックスのアルバムは食指が動かないのだけれど、RedとThreeDaysGrace（新旧）も好きなので、MichaelとAdamの参加が気になって楽しみにしていた。
そんなゲストとのハーモニーやアレンジがどの曲も好みで、自分のイメージしてた"アコースティックアルバム"とは違い、新しい曲を聴いた時の様な気分になった。
私はいつも大体特に気に入った曲だけを繰り返し聴きがちなのだけど、このアルバムは最初に通して聴いてからずっと全曲繰り返しで流してる。
新曲ばかりのアルバムもモチロン出して欲しいけど、間にこういうアルバムもまたあったら良いなと私はかなり気に入りました。
