Hit: 5 Stars
ok i first heard about this band from my brother i was a little skeptical because he listens to some music that should never be heard by humans but i really enjoyed it amazing vocals and music it is amazing to all whom hate this band screw off they are the new wave every song is emotional and dark which fits my personality i was really surprised that so much talent could born here in the u.s.a because so many artists nowadays have no talent jus look at fantasia barrino its nice to know that this band has extreme talentFree Music Review: Not a rock fan but........
Hit: 2 Stars
I must say the lead sing is very talented. The songs Call me when your sober and My Immortal were my favorite. I judged her by her looks (kinda gothic). But I'll give her props her songs will touch you.Free Music Review: This kept me sane in an insane world!

Personal thoughts on the band: I remember first hearing Evanescence a year before their debut on the radio station in Ev's homestate (GO RAZORBACKS!) ; and I was completely blown away. (had never listen to Nightwish or Lacuna Coil at that time) It was something new and different when things was going down hill in my life. This also taught me to go out and search for better music than [..]that gets air play in those days or even now. This was one of the first GOOD bands that I ever listened too. I remember buying this cd for a trip; and I became encased in this wonderful and soothing cocoon when the world became sour on the outside. Death and it's many counterparts was crashing down on me. This kept me up. Now, years laters, I know their are better bands out their than this. I still love Evanescence, but not their new album. Their sound has become too watered down and strange.
This cd: Amy haunting vocals. The dreamy combination of guitars and drums. It felt sort of unearthy. Strangely, I love Origin better than this plus the other demos more than this but that's another story.
Peace

I liked this album when I was 12 and didn't really have much exposure to... well, good music. Roughly four years later, I tried to listen to this album again and wondered when it began to sound like the same song on repeat. I come to the conclusion that the only people who can truly appreciate this album are those who are intensely satisfied with their complacency in accepting the over-produced nu-metal ~innovations~ that popular culture throws at them. Anyone with good taste doesn't have to think, or listen, much to realize just how genuinely sub par this album and band are. And if you admit to liking this album, at least don't call it metal (gothic or otherwise) because it's not. It's pop. If you want to hear gothic metal, try Nightwish, for starters.
You can argue that this post has, thus far, been more of a criticism of Fallen's audience rather than it's content. I guess it has. But there's really not much to say about the songs; seriously, imagine the same song on repeat, except for the two awful piano ballads which are essentially the same song. The hollow, everyday "oh-I'm-so-sad-and-I-want-to-die-but-I'm-just-writing-this-garbage-as-a-lame-grab-for-attention" and "YOU-HURT-ME-SO-I'M-GOING-TO-SING-A-LOUD-GAWTH-CHICKRAWK-SONG-ABOUT-HOW-MUCH-U-SUCK" lyrics can't save the completely uninteresting, cookie-cutter riffs. I don't feel connected with the band at all; the focus here is most definitely on Amy Lee, who really isn't even likeable, and whose voice isn't even that great--sorry kids, but being able to sing loudly doesn't mean you are talented (if you disagree, I dare you to listen to Lee singing live). Also, Evanescence seems to aim for a certain degree of political correctness; their intention was to widen their audience to teenagers of holy rollers who are intimidated by Evanescence's DANGEROUS GAWTH TOPIC image, I guess.
Yes, they're popular. But consider this: Galileo was once put in jail when he proposed that the earth revolved around the sun (heliocentrism), when 'popular' belief was that the sun revolved around the earth. If both Galileo and the masses who criticized him were alive now, I wonder who would be laughing.
Free Music Review: AMY LEE (& BAND) ROCKS!!!

The first time I heard an Evanescence song was in Mexico about four years ago. I was watching Daredevil and the songs Bring me to Life and My Immortal were on it. I could tell that they were by the same person, so I got on the internet and looked up the band. Thus started my Evanescence addiction. I bought Fallen and it was firmly settled. EVANESCENCE IS AWESOME!!! 110% recommended!!!!
