Pros: Finally, a combination of goth lyrics, rock, and a strong woman singing about stuff. Cons: That you're not listening to it at this moment.
evanescence (ev-e-nes'ens) - a dissipation or disappearance like vapor.
Things have been very difficult for me over the past month and usually when that occurs, I can turn to music for some relief. For two entire weeks, I couldn't...
Pros: Captivating lyrics meet heavy guitars, piano, electronica, choral arrangements, and Amy Lee's delicious vocals. Cons: I don't want to hear the term "nu-metal" ever again!
evanescence: n. The process of dissipating like vapor. See also vanish. Allow me to introduce you to my new obsession - a chick-fronted, Goth-influenced rock band from Arkansas called Evanescence. Poised to take the general ...
Pros: Amy Lee's scintillating vocals, strong guitars coupled with listener-friendly melodies. Cons: Overproduction, several tracks sound similar.
So I was browsing through Amazon.com a little while ago, and I came across the new Evanescence CD, Fallen. I looked on in interest as there were 110 "consumer reviews" over there, but what was even more interesting was this. 99 of them gave...
Once in a great while I hear music which moves me in such a way that stirs up emotions in me that I didn’t even knew I could feel. When I saw the movie Daredevil I was bored out of my mind, but there were two songs included in the movie that...
Pros: Soaked, dipped and battered in raw, beautiful emotion. "Everybody's Fool"..."Haunted"... Cons: *stares at computer blankly*
You know that there's something going on with an album that you simply can not pick a favorite from. It usually means that the CD is so void of any redeeming, good qualities that there are no listenable songs whatsoever... but, there are those ...
Pros: It’s a no-brainer to say that Amy Lee has a terrific voice. Cons: Overrated album; positively bland musicianship, and only a handful of worthwhile songs.
It’s doubtful there is a non cave-dwelling person on this planet that hasn’t heard of Evanescence. This Arkansas based rock group has ridden critical and public acclaim to superstardom and never looked back. The band’s 6X platinum début ...
Pros: Musically, lyrically and emotionally crafted with brilliance Cons: If you are having some deep issues this could bring them up.
Sometimes you listen to music.
Sometimes you feel music.
This is the kind of album you have to put aside all the critical bullsh*t and just sit back and feel. Feel the desperation, the passion, the loneliness and the pain that...
Pros: Great voice, some interesting lyrics Cons: Some lame rhymes, Tries to be something inorganic
I'll begin this review by simply saying that the popular music world is better off with Evanescence than without it. It's nice to hear a sound that combats the Blonde Revolution. This is not a band with a Blonde Wonder lead singer. But it's also not ...
Pros: Amy Lee's vocals, Dark Music, Lyrics Cons: The music gets repetitive at points
When I first picked up Fallen, Evanescence’s debut album released on March 4 of 2003, I really expected most of the songs to sound like the first and very successful single, Bring Me to Life. After listening to the album, I ...
Pros: Heavy, crunchy, didn't forget the soft and dreamy. Insanely addictive. Cons: Linkin Park vibes on Bring Me to Life
The art of perfect timing Fallen by Evanescence, an album that could have stalled hard had it been released in 1998 or '99 amidst the bubble gum groups. Changing up between grinding guitars, piano ballads, classy strings, ...
Pros: Good vocals, hardcore rock, and alternative, fused with an artist's touch. Cons: Why oh why do people still listen to pop when Evanescence is available.
Lately I have felt inspired to write once again on Epinions; often thinking it would be some deep philosophical waxing on the geopolitic of the world but in retrospect I find that I am tired of doing battle with the neo-hippies who masturbate at every...
Pros: A beautiful album combining hard-rock guitars, female vocals, pianos, strings and electronica Cons: Only the slowest songs, which bog the rest down
There's something undeniably intriguing about female lead singers in rock music. But whether they're represented by Veruca Salt, Hole, or Garbage, such bands seem to have a notorious problem with staying power. But with their debut album Fallen,...
Pros: Thought-provoking lyrics and compelling guitar hooks work on most songs... Cons: ... but the occasional track falls flat.
A face I saw now haunts my ev’ry dream. Perhaps it was the face on the album – haunting, slightly surreal, and visually arresting. Perhaps it was the fact that I had heard a single on the radio that sent shivers down my spine and an ...
Pros: Amy Lee's magnificent vocal talent is the soul of the group Cons: Forgive me, but these guitars can be replaced
There are about one hundred other reviews of this album on epinions right now - I'm driven to comment based on my appreciation for the recording itself, but also by the very emotional issues raised by the songs themselves. Some may protest that ...
Pros: Amy Lee's vocals, some nice songwriting, some nice riffing here and there Cons: not enough guitar differentiation by a long shot
In terms of musical trends, there are good and bad. In terms of musical trends in rock, there hasn't been much to write home about since the early 90s wave of rock bands made the genre feel vital and alive again. Since then, we've had the pretenders...
Although the band s name may suggest a sudden vanishing, the music of Evanescence is poised for longevity. Fallen, the Wind-up Records debut of this t...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
