Music reviews of Phobia (W/Dvd) (Coll) (Ocrd) (Spkg)
Music Review: Good, but not great re-issue
Rating: 3 Stars
I this re-release primarily for the DVD which contains Breaking Benjamin's concert at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at Stabler Arena.
The quality of the video is not up to par set by DVD's today (even if it's a standard and not HD quality). I would give it a 3 out of 5 because of the low lightning, unbalanced audio, and poor compression.
I'll give some leeway as the arena it was filmed in wasn't brightly lit, but what concert has super bright lighting?
Comparing it to other DVD concerts, it should have been a better audio/video presentation considering it was filmed by HDNet. I saw the same concert film that HDNet aired back in March 4, 2007 and the A/V quality was phenomenal. This was presented in HD at 1080i, so you would think the source material they had would have translated to a better DVD, but it did not.
There is also live feedback on a couple of songs during the video. Granted HDNet had no control over this, but a DVD release like this should have been tweaked to present a better presentation.
A/V issues aside it was a decent concert film. The vocals were a bit flat and in my opinion they didn't "hit" the songs as they did in the album. The playing of the instruments seemed suppressed as if they either weren't giving it their all or it was a technical limitation of the concert.
Obviously the Phobia CD is terrific which I give a full 5 stars!
Description of Phobia (W/Dvd) (Coll) (Ocrd) (Spkg)
Some would argue Ben Burnley is a perfectionist. But for Breaking Benjamin's singer, guitarist and visionary, there is no other modus operandi for his craft. With that dedication, Burnley and his bandmates--guitarist Aaron Fink, bassist Mark James and drummer Chad Szeliga--have built 2006's meticulous, infectious hard rock milestone Phobia (Hollywood Records). Building on their trademark hard-charging rhythms, sharp hooks and soaring vocals, Phobia marks Breaking Benjamin's third album. For Burnley, who typically writes at least 10 songs to yield one, the arduous approach has helped Breaking Benjamin elevate the bar in following up 2004's explosive platinum-selling We Are Not Alone, which produced a pair of compelling #1 rock hits, "So Cold" and "Sooner Or Later." "It's a very time-consuming thing," Ben admits of his efforts to top the band's airwave favorites. "I'll basically write a number of similar songs and cherry-pick the best pieces from all of them and make one." With Phobia, which confronts anxiety and fear through catharsis and breathtaking melodies, the fruits of Burnley's conviction can first be heard on "The Diary of Jane" --the first single and video--just one in a number of ferocious and hook-injected offerings on the band's third album. As muscular as it is accessible, "Jane" has the power to invade one's headspace, and occupy it for days.Alternative Rock CDs
