Breaking Benjamin

So Cold EP

Hollywood

Breaking Benjamin’s turgid and bland breakout hit “So Cold” gets the acoustic treatment on this five-track EP, which will really only appeal to hardcore fans of the band.

The song really suffers in its naked acoustic form, when it’s unable to hide beneath the layers of polished production and walls of distorted guitars that characterize the second and third tracks on the EP, “Blow Me Away” and “Lady Bug”. Two live tracks complete the misery.
