Not as dynamic as their new stuff, but it still has a lot of talent and is very melodic.

"It was a few weeks after I bought this CD that I realized it was not the original version of the album. Unlike, say, Eminem, Breaking Benjamin has put effort into making the edited version of "We Are Not Alone" sound every bit as good as the explisite version, if not better. Highly recommended! This has some awesome songs. The first song, So Cold, has been tearing up the radio recently, u've probably heard it. It has some powerful riffs, but it isn't the best song on the disc. From Simple Design to Forget It, the album gets steadily softer, shifting into a more ballad-esque style. The tone of the record really transforms at the other huge highlight, Breakdown, which is, if not heavy metal, then at least hard rock. Away and Believe follow similar patterns. The closer, Rain, is my least favorite song, but it's still worthwhile. I suggest buying the entire album (and for goodness' sakes, the clean version), but ill rate the individual tracks below if u want to download them from iTunes etcetera:
-So Cold (10/10)
-Simple Design (9/10)
-Follow (8/10)
-Firefly (6/10)
-Break My Fall (10/10)
-Forget It (8/10)
-Sooner or Later (8/10)
-Breakdown (10/10)
-Away (10/10)
-Believe (10/10)
-Rain (7/10)
If u like this CD u will probably also like Breaking Benjamin's EP release "So Cold", which has live versions of So Cold (on acoustic), Away, and Believe, as well as a song from Halo 2 called Blow Me Away. And as a bonus, they threw in a song called Ladybug."
Very Good

"This CD is somewhat different than most rock, but its still very good. So Cold is what first drew me to this CD, and then i got hooked on other songs like Breakdown, Rain, Firefly. I give it 4 stars because it is very good - but i have still heard some better rock CD's than this"

"This has to be the coolest Cd I own, all the songs on here are excellently written and performed.If I could give it a higher rating I would. The better known songs on here are So Cold and Sooner or Later. Although their probably more popular the other songs are insanely awesome."
