So you'd think that a group like Evanescence wouldn't have much of a chance of getting into the collection. While I'll admit that I have one of the most eclectic CD collections of anyone I know (Live, Dave Matthews and Enya all live happily next to each other in one section of the rack), I've always steered clear of the stuff that usually gets lumped together with the "goth" stamp on it. Awesome stuff - a CD that's worth your attention. totally worth picking up, and hopefully an indication of more brilliance to come. Definitely not a "throw on at a party" CD - But one that I find myself wanting to explore beginning to end, again and again.īesides the lead single, I really like "Tourniquet", "Going Under", "Haunted", "My Immortal", "Whisper" and "My Last Breath." The rest of the songs are also very good. and a lot of interesting things going on. There's a lot of depth to this group that you might not be expecting to hear. This is not a 'rap-metal' band, if you've only heard the "Bring Me To Life" single. And I *love* Amy's voice! The production is huge sounding the songs are beautifully textured with keyboards, strings and layered back up vocals. Their music is hauntingly dark, and beautiful at the same time, and it does have its "rock" moments, thanks to some really nice guitar sounds. I found myself anxiously waiting to hear what came next while listening to it, which rarely happens. It didn't take long to realize "Fallen" was going to make its way into my rotation of discs I listen to a lot.
I've tracked through this disc a bunch of times now - It just keeps getting better with each listen.
