Phobia

After the release of the bands full length sophomore album, We Are Not Alone, the band released their third full length album titled, Phobia. Benjamin titled it that because he himself has plenty of phobias that he's never been able to overcome. One big one that kind of affects their fan base is his fear of flying. He's never been able to fly anywhere, not even in the United States. Whenever the band has gone out on tours, their way of getting there was by bus. Since Benjamin has this fear, the band has never toured outside of the United States or Canada. Their most successful song off of the album was titled The Diary Of Jane.

Breaking Benjamin - The Diary Of Jane.

This hit song reached number four on the U.S. Modern Rock Charts.

However, the biggest hit off of the album was titled Breath.

Breaking Benjamin - Breath.

The song reached number one on The Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.


On April 17, 2007 the band re-released Phobia. The album featured footage from a concert that they had. The album reached number 38 on The Billboard 100.


On May 21, 2009 the album reached RIAA Platinum Status. The album sold over one million albums in the U.S. alone.
