Evanescence - The Open Door

I was a huge Evanescence fan about 3-4 years ago when Fallen came out. I went out and downloaded all their demos and previous eps etc, but over the course of 4 years with no new music, I lost interest. At first I didn't really like this new song but I just saw the video, which I thought kicked ass, I think it might be growing on me. I love the scene where she's walking along the dinner table all Dark Phoenix style.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

i think the bonus track, if I correctly remember an old article talking about that sond, is about ben moody.

Have any of the other songs leaked yet?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i hate when people trash evanescence. I love her voice and the mixture of the orchestral and hard rock instruments. Plus, as far as mainstream music goes, they are on top of the talent pool. The only thing I think that warrents critisism is the lyrics; and this seems to be true for many "dark" bands. How many times can you use the word bleed, breathe, lie, etc. I cringe everytime i hear them.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm not feeling this cd either. There is too much slow heavy blandness. Plus, her voice doesn't even sound natural in many of the songs..........perhaps the band really did need Ben Moody to make their music and not just Amy Lee. I guess I'll have to see if further listens will change my mind.


EDIT

Actually, I'm going to update my opinion of the album and say it's rather terrrible. There might be more filler on this CD than on Christina Aguilera's "Back to Basics" and that had over 20 tracks.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
