Compilation albums

These releases, issued by Hollywood Records, compile selections from their studio discography while offering fresh perspectives on fan favorites, achieving moderate commercial success on rock and mainstream charts.Shallow Bay: The Best of Breaking Benjamin
Released on August 16, 2011, Shallow Bay: The Best of Breaking Benjamin is the band's first greatest hits compilation, spanning their career up to that point with 15 tracks drawn primarily from their first four studio albums. The album features high-energy singles like "Polyamorous" and "Skin" from their 2002 debut Saturate, "So Cold" from 2004's We Are Not Alone, "The Diary of Jane" from 2006's Phobia, and "I Will Not Bow" from 2009's Dear Agony, alongside remixes and lesser-known cuts such as the "So Cold (Remix)." This collection encapsulates the band's signature blend of aggressive riffs and melodic hooks, providing an accessible entry point for new listeners while rewarding longtime fans with rarities. It debuted at number 22 on the US Billboard 200 chart, reflecting sustained interest in their catalog during a period following their 2010 hiatus.[27]| Track | Original Album (Year) |

| Polyamorous | Saturate (2002) |

Aurora
Aurora, released on January 24, 2020, marks Breaking Benjamin's second compilation, reimagining nine tracks from their existing catalog plus one new original song, "Far Away," in acoustic and symphonic arrangements. Produced by frontman Benjamin Burnley, the album incorporates orchestral strings, piano, and subtle electronic elements to strip back the intensity of originals like "So Cold" from We Are Not Alone, "Failure" from Dear Agony, "Angels Fall" and "Tourniquet" from Ember, and "Dear Agony" featuring Lacey Sturm of Flyleaf. Guest vocalists enhance several cuts, including Michael Barnes of Red on "Failure," Scooter Ward of Cold on "Far Away," Spencer Chamberlain of Underoath on "Red Cold River," and Adam Gontier (formerly of Three Days Grace) on "Dance with the Devil" from Phobia, creating a collaborative, introspective vibe. Developed after the 2018 release of Ember, Aurora served as a creative outlet amid touring commitments, emphasizing emotional depth over aggression. It peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of approximately 44,000 units, underscoring the band's enduring appeal in the rock genre.[28][29][30]| Track | Original Album (Year) | Notable Guest |
|---|---|---|
| So Cold (Aurora Version) | We Are Not Alone (2004) | None |
| Failure (Aurora Version) | Dear Agony (2009) | Michael Barnes (Red) |

Extended plays
Breaking Benjamin released three extended plays during their early career, serving as promotional tools and showcases for their post-grunge and alternative metal sound. These EPs included an independent debut that propelled the band toward a major label deal, as well as limited-edition releases tied to their breakthrough album We Are Not Alone. Each featured a mix of original demos, acoustic renditions, and live performances, with some tracks exclusive to these formats or later re-recorded for full-length albums.[31] The band's self-titled debut EP, released independently in 2001 on a limited run of 2,000 copies, marked their first official recording effort.[32] Produced at Saturation Acres in Danville, Pennsylvania, it consisted of five tracks: "Home" (3:38), "Medicate" (2:58), "Polyamorous" (2:59), "Water" (4:02), and "Shallow Bay" (4:04).[32] These songs, presented in demo-like versions, highlighted vocalist Ben Burnley's raw songwriting and the band's aggressive guitar riffs, playing a key role in their local buzz around Wilkes-Barre. The EP's complete sell-out led to interest from labels, culminating in a signing with Hollywood Records in early 2002.[31] None of the tracks appeared in their original form on subsequent studio releases, making this EP a unique artifact of their formative sound.[32] In 2004, Breaking Benjamin issued the Live EP as a promotional companion to the limited-edition version of We Are Not Alone, distributed on June 29 via Hollywood Records.[33] Limited to 5,000 copies, it captured four live performances from earlier material: "Medicate" (4:17), "Water" (4:56), "Next to Nothing" (4:19), and "Sugarcoat" (4:07).[33] These recordings, drawn from shows supporting their debut album Saturate, emphasized the band's high-energy stage presence and served to bridge their independent roots with major-label output, though the tracks were re-recorded in studio versions for prior releases. Later that year, the So Cold EP arrived on November 23, 2004, also through Hollywood Records, as a tie-in to the hit single "So Cold" from We Are Not Alone.[34] This five-track release included an acoustic version of the title track alongside other exclusives: "So Cold (Acoustic)" (3:55), "Blow Me Away" (3:26)—originally for the Halo 2 soundtrack—"Lady Bug" (3:03, a non-album bonus), "Away (Live)" (3:24), and "Breakdown (Live)" (3:44).[34] Produced and mixed by David Bendeth, it provided fans with intimate live cuts and alternate takes, enhancing promotion for the album without overlapping its core content.[35]Singles

Charted songs
Several album tracks from Breaking Benjamin's releases have achieved notable chart performance on rock-oriented Billboard charts, often driven by fan-driven airplay and streaming rather than formal promotion.

Music videos
As lead artist
Breaking Benjamin has produced a series of music videos as the lead artist to accompany their singles and select album tracks, often emphasizing dark, introspective themes aligned with their alternative rock sound. Early videos from the band's debut and sophomore albums featured straightforward narratives or performance-based concepts with modest budgets, reflecting their independent roots. Post-2015 releases marked a shift to more elaborate, high-production visuals, including cinematic storytelling and special effects, contributing to increased viewership on platforms like YouTube and Vevo. For instance, "The Diary of Jane" has amassed over 277 million views on YouTube since its upload.[41] The band's videos frequently incorporate horror or psychological elements, particularly during the Phobia era, where clips like "The Diary of Jane" depict eerie, supernatural pursuits. The Ember trilogy ("Red Cold River," "Torn in Two," and "Tourniquet") forms a connected narrative exploring themes of loss, abuse, and vengeance, showcasing elevated production values with professional actors and detailed sets.
