NickoNacko 36 Posted Friday at 05:08 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:08 PM It could be recency bias, but I fear I may have a new favorite Evanescence album. 2 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PdogtheDaibutsu 720 Posted Friday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:19 PM This album is awesome. I’m two listens through now and it is already up there with Fallen and The Open Door. The contemporary electronic mixing is great, and the inclusion of orchestral and choir elements was a pleasant surprise (given those being some of my favorite aspects of their earlier sound) 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werewoof 2,487 Posted Friday at 05:48 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:48 PM Absolutely exceeded my expectations. As soon as I heard Beautiful Lie I could tell it was going to be awesome and it delivered 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NemoMyName 2,012 Posted Friday at 07:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:34 PM Also congratulations to Amy Lee for pulling a Die With A Smile in this album with Afterlife, after telling the press the song won't be part of the album, it made the final tracklist. Queens behavior. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaybeKermit 5,183 Posted Friday at 08:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:25 PM Not meaning it in a bad way, since I’m not a fan or anything, saw the thread and clicked on it + listened to some of the videos u guys posted, and it all sounds exactly the same to me + can’t see any sifference with their old iconic tracks …? is this a genre thing where every album is the same sound? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourniquet is my favourite Evanescence song responding to all your comments: fair review, I kind of wondered about the Ben Moody thing there's something going on. Sanctuary for me is on par with S/T (which I rate about a low B as well), the singles carry. though I put The Open Door up with Fallen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one is a conscious attempt to recreate some of that original sound 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
