Evanescence

愛 · 07-07-2009, 10:23 PM

Anyone into this band? I played the three songs they have on Rock Band 2 (I'm that kind of person), and I loved them so much that I went and bought their CD's off Amazon. Really great group. I love the vocals a lot.

Trolls welcome.

I must say I do like their music and the vocals are pretty awesome. When I bought their first album I loved it so much that I played it over and over.

愛 · 07-07-2009, 10:34 PM

I agree, their first album is solid. Not a bad song on it.

SassyGal · 07-07-2009, 10:36 PM

I was surprised that I liked the whole album because I'm really bad for liking the singles and then feeling like the rest of an album doesn't measure up, but you're right, there isn't a bad song on it.

I used to be the same way, because with Japanese music (what I listen to the most), their sales are mainly from the singles that they release, and not albums. So when it comes time to produce an album, the non-single songs are just not nearly as good. So I would just listen to the singles and skip the rest.

Now I give everything a chance. I'm glad I do, because there are a lot of great songs.

Nightwish-lite.

Catchy but far from original.

**GK Punk** · 07-07-2009, 10:51 PM

They are okay. Amy Lee's voice gets on my nerves after a few songs though. She only has one tone she sings in, and it just starts to get to me after awhile.

Didn't she fire the original band a few years back?

*Ninjinister* · 07-07-2009, 10:52 PM

Evanescence is one of the few modern bands I like. I occasionally go on an Evanescence bender and listen to a select number of their songs on continuous loop for a short while.

*XERO* · 07-07-2009, 11:12 PM

My ex-roomate was a big fan of them, and he turned me on to them as well.

Here's hoping they release another album sometime soon.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-07-2009, 11:47 PM

Yeah, I actually used to like them quite a bit. Haven't kept up with their current stuff, regrettably. I remember when they started out as a bleh Christian band in Little Rock because they were on the local stations from time to time.

*Hannah* · 07-08-2009, 10:46 AM

Are you guys kidding? Tell me you're f*cking joking.

*Cure* · 07-08-2009, 10:56 AM

I like them, too, I just don't see how anyone can think Amy Lee is hot. I like her voice, though.

*Sewer Bull* · 07-08-2009, 10:57 AM

I didn't know they still existed, honestly. I thought they split up a few years ago.

SassyGal · 07-08-2009, 05:11 PM

I heard Amy Lee quit and Ben Moody is back. They're supposed to be coming out with a new album this year, but I don't know who the replacement singer is going to be. They changed their name to Fallen too...which I guess would make them a whole new band.

Another band that is similar to Evanescence is Within Temptation & they're really good too.

愛 · 07-09-2009, 03:06 PM

I enjoy Within Temptation, as well, though they are a more extreme version. But I haven't heard their newer stuff, and I heard that they changed their style a bit, so I'll have to check that out.

That's what I thought.

Over here they were number one for a while with 'Wake Me Up'. Cheesy as hell song with a really laughable video.

I heard people who like them like Lacuna Coil and Nightwish though. So maybe check them out too if you like Evanescence?

I think you mean 'Bring Me To Life', but yeah, I just refreshed it and it's incredibly corny:

*raphael_is_cool* · 07-09-2009, 05:46 PM

Ah yeah, thought I may have been wrong but didn't care to check
