I absolutely love Evanescence and finally allowed myself to purchase this cd. My Immortal is one of my all time favorite songs. I also really like Bring Me To Life. All the songs are really good.
The CD is great, just enough metal to wake you up, but there is also a much softer side to it in Amy Lee's voice. I LOVE it.
I heard a song one day that was playing in the background of a television show. Her vocal style reminds me a bit of Tori Amos and Allison Krauss, but with a darkly intense twist. I've never owned an album with a female vocalist (at least not from the rock or metal genres), nor am I big fan of "gothic" rock (which is a label I've seen others apply to this disc, though I'm not sure why. The songs are well-written and instantly catchy.My favorite songs from this CD so far are:1) Bring Me to Life (the song that I heard on the TV show)2) Going Under (very catchy and powerful)3) Tourniquet (incredibly powerful and moving)4) Imaginary (epic).5) Haunted (interesting use of dissonant harmony in a metal song)I would strongly recommend that anyone who likes Metal give this album a chance. I just HAD to find out who it was. The voice had a haunting quality that was both ethereal and intense.After the show was over, the song was stuck in my head.
I had no idea who it was. Then, one day, a couple of years later, the song resurfaced in my mind from nowhere. I'd pretty much given up on metal by the late 90's. But again, I'd say you should give this album a chance. I had discovered the band Evanescence.I bought the Fallen CD right here on Amazon, and have been enjoying it thoroughly. The guitars are big and punchy and the drums an interesting mix of metal and another style that I suppose is influenced by Hip Hop and/or Techno. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
But I was finally able to remember the opening lyrics "How can you see into my eyes like open doors" or something to that effect. It had a solid groove, good rhythm guitar work, and a striking high soprano voice. perhaps because of the piano and choir). I didn't have much luck with internet searches of female metal singers. Another internet search on the lyrics, and voila. I usually listen to older metal bands like Metallica, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden. It's quite good.
The songs on this CD can be a little dark but I think most people will enjoy the songs and appreciate the lyrics. This is an amazing CD and my favorite band. Every song on this CD is amazing, which is why I think the entire CD is worth the buy. Amy Lee (the lead singer) has a hauntingly beautiful voice. Her voice is like an angel but it fits witht the alternative rock style that this band is. You will not be disapointed. One similar artist is Flyleaf so if you have heard them and liked their music then you will definitely enjoy Evanescence.
The CD was new and in good shape. I received it in a timely manner.Would do business again. Thanks for excellent service.
