When there is only one remaining original member, it's time to call it a day and start a solo project. Wait...Corgan and Rose tried and couldn't make money, so they continued in their former bands name .

I agree, I'm ready for Burnley to release some new material. He's probably just been playing video games.

Have fallen totally in love with Dead Sara over the last few months. Emily Armstrong's voice is awesome! Easily my favorite new band to come out in years. Restored my faith in modern rock.

No, I'm not ready or excited for Burnley to return, not even as Breaking Benjamin. After We're Not Alone, the group went steadily downhill and a big part of that is because Burnley openly admitted to a copy/paste method of writing songs. It became obvious on their last studio effort Dear Agony.

It's true their music was better when Ben was an alcoholic, but I'm still curious to see who will replace Fink/Klepaski, and how the new lineup will sound.

I'll be honest, I loved Dear Agony. The title track and Into the Nothing were both amazing songs as were Lights Out and I Will Not Bow. That having been said, it wasn't quite as good as Phobia.

The only song I really liked off of Dear Agony was "Give Me A Sign". It's the closest thing the band (I guess just Ben now) has done to pushing themselves out of their comfort zone artistically since We Are Not Alone. Hopefully whenever they release new material, they won't write the same song eleven times once again.

On the new Muse album: Muse + dubstep = does not compute.

Unrelated: I'm going to see The Killers play a show at The National in July; are they still relevant? If not, at least I'll get to see them play their old hits live.

Yeah they're relevant. They're a co-headliner of a big festival here in DE. Jack White and The Black Keys are co-headlining, Death Cab for Cutie, Passion Pit, Cake, Lupe Fiasco, and many more will be there. Pretty sick event lineup actually. It's the first annual Firefly festival.

Give me a sign was a good one too. I felt that Dear Agony (the song) was very complex and well written, personally.
