| Evanescence - Fallen Classification: Pop Band: Evanescence Tracks: - Going Under - Bring Me To Life - Everybody's Fool - My Immortal - Haunted - Tourniquet - Imaginary - Taking Over Me - Hello - My Last Breath - Whisper A Breath of Fresh Air I haven't written a review in a very long time now, (Probably over a year) but I was inspired to share my opinion on a great new Band that has some solid potential. Evanescence has, probably, one of the best overall sounds I've heard in a "new" Band in quite a while. While the music does sound comparable to Linkin Park (who I also like) - The Vocals and overall feel of the album is something unique and exciting. I'll do a quick breakdown of the songs: Going Under: One of the best songs on the album without a doubt. Surprising and interesting at every turn. Very Original. 5/5 Bring Me To Life: The song most people know them by. Maybe a little over played on the radio, but a great song none-the-less. And the song that got me interested in them to begin with. 4.5/5 Everybody's Fool: A solid song that expands you a little deeper into the sound of the band. 4/5 My Immortal: A haunting and beautiful song. Amy's voice sends Chills up my spine. 4.5/5 Haunted: A great song. Dark and eerie, may incite thought and contemplation. 4.5/5 Tourniquet: Awesome song. (Though the lyrics are a little on the strange side) Great Melody. 4/5 Imaginary: This song has a great transfer from the previous song and is a solid effort as well. Both these songs together make for a great 8 minute excursion. 4/5 Taking Over Me: Best Song on the Disc (in my opinion). Played this one over and over again. All around great melody, chorus and the music is outstanding. 5/5 Hello: A little strange on this one, but another solid effort. Amy's voice once again, shines on this one. 4/5 My Last Breath: A Good song. Probably the "average song" of the record, if that makes any sense. 4/5 Whisper: Now, surprisingly this was my least favorite song on the album. The end of the song is a little out there and while I like the music and the vocals, it seemed to lose me towards the end and seemed a little lacking in the melodies and lyrics. 3.5/5 Overall, a solid 4/5. While I do see the validity of a comparison to Linkin Park and bands of the like, I must Express that I feel this Band still manages to have a unique sound that I really enjoyed. Simply, a breath of fresh air. 2 days in owning this CD and Love it already 1)Going Under - 5/5 I Love this song, and the video too. My Favorite on the entire album.<BR>2)Bring me to Life - 4/5 It's very nice, but I see it a lot on TV, so I'm not that hot on this song.<BR>3)Everybody's Fool - 4/5 It's a very good song... the part with 'Without the mask, where will you hide?' shows Amy's voice well.<BR>4) My Immortal - 4/5 I have no idea why the title of the song is 'My Immortal', but the song is soft and sweet.<BR>5)Haunted - 5/5 Creepily cool. It's great.<BR>6) Tourniquet - 5/5 The 'Christian' song. Though, based on the whole CD, this would not be considered a Christian album.<BR>7)Imaginary - 3/5 because I don't remember how it goes!! Sorry, but I don't listen to this one much.<BR>8)Taking me over - 4/5 Very nice.<BR>9)Hello - 5/5 Oh, extremely beautiful, Amy's voice is...awesome.<BR>10)My last breath - " to track 7<BR>11)Whisper - 3/5 I didn't listen very carefully, though I remember I liked the choir's singing at the end.<BR>A star for Amy's voice, a star for Ben's guitar, a star for additional instruments/voices and a star for the lyrics! Good job, Evanescence. I hope your next album will be just as good as this one. A rare accomplishment... Wow. Hearing this Band for the first time on the Daredevil soundtrack, I was completely blown away by the beautiful "Bring Me to Life," and the equally mesmorizing "My Immortal." So needless to say, I was eagerly anticipating the release of this album. It did not dissapoint. From the raw "Going Under", to the softer, elequent "Hello", lead vocalist Amy Lee left me speechless. What is unique about this album is the way The Band rocks so hard, yet still finds a place for beautiful melodies and harmonies. For those of you who have never heard of Evanescence, think of a combination between Linkin Park and Sarah Mchlachlan (Spelling?). I literally had this playing non-stop in my car CD Player the first two days I got it, there is not a bad song on it! The last CD that had me listening non-stop was Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory. Anyway, enough of my babbling, because there are no words that can describe this album accurately. For a debut album, I can only imagine the heights this Band can go in future endeavors. This album is a treat, do yourself a favor and pick it up.
