Phobia Reviews:
BB - Phobia 
2009-10-24 - Awsome music..Love BB..Unfortunately DVD picture and sound quality is very poor and is a real disappointment. Audio CD is excellent.
Their best album yet 
2008-08-12 - It's a good album throughout with a few weaker songs, but it's their best album yet. Their style isn't very unique or original (Sevendust has been doing similar things for much longer, for example), but as a band they've improved a lot.
The Best Modern Rock Band? 
2008-01-12 - This is really a great album, the songs are getting better end better on each new project from Breaking Benjamin (BB). Anyway, my advice is to listen and buy all the other albums from this group - my favorite one nowadays. I recommend special attention to these songs: You, Evil Angel, Dance With The Devil, You Fight Me, Had Enough, and Breath. Also, it's a very good idea to pack the CD with a full BB live concert. Great!!!
Good, but not great re-issue 
2008-01-05 - 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!
great band,great cd-dvd 
2007-07-22 - breaking benjamin is a metal/rock band on the rise to stardom. the dvd captures their energy and talents live in concert. i was at that performance in feb. 2007. i still enjoy watching it over and over again.
