I'm a big fan of their first two albums, but didn't even know they had a new album coming out until I was scrolling IG. Listened to it on Friday night and again this morning, and I really like it! Some elements feel nostalgic to their earlier music, and yet, it still feels fresh and cool! Amy still sounds amazing and I love how loud the instrumentals are!

Also, I like that this is a response to the current political situations in the USA/the bands reaction to the election. It's nice that there is at least one 2000s rock band who hasn't gone full conservative or right-leaning.

If anyone's listened

How industrial electro is it?

There isn't really much of this on it. However, the main lead single, Who Will You Follow?, does have a slight vibe of this in it. Rapture has an experimental electronic breakdown in it. Calm Down very slightly leans into this as well.

Evanescence is not a genre band, it's a "elements" band, so you can hear a little of everything thrown there in the new songs

SUCH a good album. Best in a long time... glad they got their spark back.

I actually like how bad the cover art is. Kind of iconic. Much better than something overly polished.

I’ve been loving this album. My top 5 tracks are Calm Down, About Us, How Do I Heal, Forever Without You, and Sanctuary.

It is actually iconically bad considering how good the album is

The weird artwork?  Lol the actual album cover is so hideous that I needed to look up one of her recent photoshoots on google, edit a pic & use it as replacement art lol. I do that with so many albums tbh. It looks shoddy, yes… but in this case, I think it less shoddy than what they actually chose imo 🙃

OR

The “Outro” thing? That’s just the last 23 seconds of Rapture, so it is easier to listen to on a loop over & over

People frequently throw around the word “neurodivergent” on here, but do they chop up/stitch together/omit sections of songs they like, in order to listen to them more obsessively (choruses, outros, etc)?

Or is that just my brand of “neurodivergence” ? lmaoooo

Maybe the intention was that, this is the whole picture used on the cover. It's very unsettling.
