Before reading Robert P.’s review of Breaking Benjamin’s “Dear Agony,” the band was unknown to me. I had seen ads for them on iTunes while shopping for other music, but it wasn’t until I read this review that I decided to click on the link. The review was extremely descriptive, telling me everything a potential listener needs to know.

When I listened to the album, I fell in love with the band immediately. I bought the album without a second’s hesitation; the rock ’n roll was literally music to my ears. Robert’s review gave me new music to add to my ­collection, and the open mind to be on the lookout for new bands in addition to my ­favorite ones.
