I only heard the single "Bring me to life", which is quite nice. Actually it sounds like a Linkin' Park copy, but with a female vocalist. I did read that this isn't the case with the rest of the album though, which is probably a good thing.

I've actually met them once, when they were promoting their album in Holland. A friend of mine did a short interview with them for his radioshow.

I looked at them as the girl verson of Linkin Park (well, just the person who does the vocals). But they're pretty good, not bad.-.

I'm not into the whole "nu-metal" scene, but I'd say they'd be one of the best bands in that genre

They are good but i prefer Linkin Park

Evanescence - every single song sounds the same

Twisted
Oct 24, 2003, 04:39
Ehm, yeah, but that's also the case with Linkin Park and every other nu-metal band for that matter. That's nu-metal, so what are we talking about here?
I think nu-metal is a thing of the passed.

Oh! I started to really like them after I saw this music video someone made of Final Fantasy X-2 with Evanescence's Whisper. Thats a great song! I like this other one but I don't know the title. I'll try to look for it (title of the song).

From Lauren: You don't have to like them, but you don't have to love them either. Just shut the hell up and let the fans enjoy them.

From Robert: Enough said. :)

Meh, I think they're mediocre. I do really enjoy "Going Under," but I find the rest of their stuff average. They are probably my favorite electronic rock band, They were pretty good live, more metal than on the album. For those of you who do like them, I highly recommend Lacuna Coil, a brilliant goth-influenced doom metal band. Some people compare them, though I don't think they're that simmilar, if you like Eva you may like Coil. Try their albums Comalies and Unleashed Memories for starters. If you get Unleashed, be sure to get one that includes the Halflife EP as a bonus. Enjoy ;)

"Tourniquet: Amy Lee is my idol."

FYI Tourniquet is a Soul Embraced cover.

I am not too fond of their songs, the reason being that their songs are played all the time - everywhere on radio and tv. I liked one of their songs in the beginning, but now I am tired of listening to their songs.

I never really like them because it's not the kind of music I listen too but I saw them at the Rock am Ring and sorry, but I don't think it's permissible to play Zero of the Smashing Pumpkins right in front of billy Corgan (who was with Zwan right before) and just kill the song. I don't think they are bad or good this a pure subjective decision that doesn't belong to me but still their performance was not well received and the singer doesn't have what it takes to sing Zero and that's a fact. Hate me for this but they were insulted by thousands (including me) of people when they made an unwanted comeback which made the wait for Audioslave longer, that was painful...

I started liking Evanescence when Bring Me To Life came out (same as most other people who like them). Once I got the CD, however, it ended up being my least favorite song. I think Amy Lee has a very unique voice, and you can disagree all you want, but they had the potential to be the next Black Sabbath/Ozzy.

Unfortunatly, I do believe they will be dissolved very soon. I like them nonetheless, though. The choir in a lot of the songs is amazing, especially in Whisper and Everybody's Fool. the string arrangements are awesome, too.

Haunted and Tourniquet are definitely my favorites, and My Last Breath's lyrics remind me of Deo.

Winter
Oct 17, 2004, 12:16

I'm hoping you said that under the influence of some really, REALLY bad chronic...

Like anyone in that band can compare to the shredding skill of Iommi.

Next you'll say one of them whippersnappers that play guitar in that band Linkin Park can go the distance with Dave Mustaine, or something.

Now that you mention it...eerr...nevermind. But you're right. That wasn't exactly how I meant it. I meant that they have the dark sound, but lack the talent needed to be great. Although, Haunted did have a very Ozzy-esque solo in it. I like them, but I know they aren't exactly the best band out there.

Next you'll say one of them whippersnappers that play guitar in that band Linkin Park can go the distance with Dave Mustaine, or something.

Now, I wouldn't go that far. Although, they have surpassed Metallica as of late...St. Anger left a really bad taste in my...uumm...ears?

I'm not usually into that kind of music. I like stuff that's much heavier and not at all poppy. But that woman's voice just speaks to me. She just sounds so tortured and beautiful. And the crunchy guitar backdrop helps for me since I like heavier music. I like it. :cool:

They are called 12 stones and they are pretty good :yeahh:

Not the best, not the worst.
I would say they are 'played Out" here in the States.

Want a better band, check out Lacuna Coil, much better, and def more talent going on.

I concur on Amy Lee sounding like crap live.

If ya cant pull it off live, you aint the real deal ...period!

Nightwish is cool.
If you want watered down pop stuff stick with Evenescence.
if you want the more eclectic talent stuff with more of an edge, check out some of the bands I have suggested.
You wont be disappointed.


Also on an unrelated note:
check out a band called Extol...very cool stuff.

I bought Nightwish's album Once at Wal-Mart because the cover looked cool. I'd never heard of them before then. They are actually pretty cool, though sometimes the girl's singing gets a little too whispy for my tastes.

I'm still an Evanescence fan, and will probably remain one. Of course, they can't hold a candle to lots of bands out there, but I still like them.

I don't usually get my CDs from Wal-Mart, unless I happen to be there, and there's a CD I want that I know isn't edited.

But yeah, hehe. It was just sitting there, not even in the right place. The only copy. Pretty much the same way I found the first Avenged Sevenfold CD I bought. I was meant to find it! :p

Hey, it could happen! I was meant to find Final Fantasy VIII back in '98 sitting at the bottom of the used shelf at Babbages. Marked half off because I kid brought it back the next day, opened, saying he didn't like it. Ended up being my favorite game and helped me meet the girl of my dreams. Then again, we aren't together now...so maybe that's a sign, too... ::sighs::

I do believe I've gone off topic... :souka:

I wish Ben hadn't left that band though :worried: but they seem to be doing fine without him so...yeah. But still I love Evanescence and I LOVE Amy Lee!

My fav Evanescence songs would have to be: "I Must be Dreaming", "Breathe No More", "Going Under", "Hello" and "Haunted." OH! And their cover of Korn's "Thoughtless" I want to YELL the chorus of that to my oldest brother. "Why are you trying to make fun of me? You think it's funny what the f**k do you think it's doing to me?! ... All my hate cannot be found. I will not be burned by your thoughtless screaming. You can try to pull me down, beat me to ground, I will see you screaming!"

Japanimaniac
Dec 23, 2005, 05:15
Amy Lee's voice is awesome. The problem with lots of rock bands that have female singers is that their voice just doesn't match the music, even if the music is plain awesome (Nightwish is a prime example). Evanescence and The Donnas are the only modern bands that have pulled it off. Unless you count Kittie...but I mean...I didn't even know the singer was female the first time I heard them... :p

...When I listen to their songs too many times, I get tired of them...

Exactly! I agree. I must admit that I was a fan of Evanescence, but they're one of those bands that just get on my nerves after the tenth time in replaying the same ol' crap.

From Robert: All you bastards that don't like Evanescence can die :) .......well, I mean that in the most loving way...i think =P Evanescence is the best band out there and their moment is'nt going to be "up" pretty soon or anytime soon...(I hope not :( )...

Okay, okay, crazy legs. Calm down and take a chill pill. Sheesh. You think what you want, and allow the others to say what they think. Going ballistic over a little discussion is pointless and dense. So, please, in the future lay off the laxatives.

WaAahhhh!!!! i LovE evanEscenCE!!! they ROck! i LOVe theiR soNgs..speciaLLy "FORGIVE ME & MY IMMORTAL".....

I am not directly fond of them, though I must say I did enjoy there CD when it was released a couple of years ago.
I think female vocals sounds good in some rock, but I would definatly prefer Tarja from Nightwish over Amy lee... just too bad Nightwish broke up last year.

but I would say I dont mind evanescence, but my music taste has other favourites.
