Two in one day! I have a lot of free time right now lmao so might as well! Per setlist.fm as usual. Might be some recency bias factored into this as well, even though recency here means... 8 years ago. Insane.

Save Yourself: Never performed live

Close Your Eyes: Never performed live

And that is officially a wrap on all of Breaking Benjamin's (as of right now) discography. Hopefully we get that new album this year finally lol. Crazy that they've played more songs from this album than Dark Before Dawn if only by one song. Those never performed songs would be phenomenal live though I bet, hopefully they bust them out for a future tour. I am glad they play Blood though, that's my favorite off this album!

Also, one more thing: this isn't quite the end of the Breaking Benjamin performances series, as I'm going to conclude it with their non-album singles like Blow Me Away and Awaken (I know Awaken is technically the first single off the upcoming album but it's been almost 2 years so it's basically a standalone single to me right now) along with some b-sides and random covers they've done of other bands and artists over the years!

Defeated: Never performed live

And there we have it on their comeback album! Gotta be honest, I'm a little disappointed, their track record for their first 4 albums and giving each song at least one performance was solid. But that's 4 songs on here that according to setlist.fm have never been played live and that's crazy. Especially Hollow and Defeated. I'd love to hear those live! Hollow is my favorite song off this album lol.

I had been listening to the other 5 albums for a long time.

I LOVED the "Hopelessness" themes I kept listening to, but after listening to Saturate, it felt like a nice, new break, AWAY from those kinds of songs.

Bonus challenge: spell out a song using emoji's and I'll see if I can guess it

Loved James as the fill in. Even if it is the end, hope he is back in the studio with Asking Alexandria and wish him the best

I recently got into Breaking Benjamin and saw the Saturate cover on the compilation of their first 3 albums but I couldn't find it in the albums list. However I could read the title on it, looked it up on Spotify and I had to click a playlist to find the album to then navigate to "show album" and now O got it. But that's a bit strange imo

This could financially cripple me 😭
