I love ths band. Amy's voice is incredible. The only problem I have with this band is that once they got kicked out from the Christian Music Industry they changed their image to seem more "satanic." If u don't believe me, check the magazine covers(there was one with devil horns around their head). They gave up so quickly, and its a shame that just cause of that, they think they can "rebel" by completely reversing their image. Don't get me wrong, they are still awsome and they one of my favorite bands.

Evanescence has the ability to blow your mind the first time you hear one of their songs. So unique and refreshing. Unfortunately, the songs get tiresome after a few listens. The energy is held at a constant high. For this band to have more success in following albums, they should try and bring more levels to the music.

Evanescence is the best band ever! This is the only CD that I ever listen to!

The album "Fallen" is a wonderful mix of rock and her ethereal and at times, operetic voice. But of course it is not ALL about the music itself, rather the lyrics as well. It's easy to get lost in the haunting melodies, but she speaks of things that I believe most can relate to. It far transcends the "pre-packaged" music we are told we should listen to, not to mention any names...I'm sure you all know the people and or persons I am speaking of. Their music is deep, a breath of "fresh air" in a world that seems to have succumb to pop icons and boy bands. In short, their album "Fallen," and "Origin" is both lyrically and musically phenominal.

The evil goth queen and her men from the realm of evil! If I have teenage children, I would not let them listen to this junk!

A good band. Amy Lee has a beautiful voice. Lyrically,its not that good,nor bad but its still worth a listen. Evanescence will kill those crap bands like Linkin Park,Good Charlotte and Sum 41

What can I say? I know what I like. And not only did I like this CD, I loved it. Amazing vocals from Amy Lee, incredible rhythmic beats and instrumentals. I found myself thinking if I had a band I'd do anything to sound like this. Purely out of curiousity did I listen to this CD which actually belongs to my sister. But after listening to it I might as well buy one for myself or she might never get it back. I liked every single song except for one. That's not bad at all considering it has eleven songs. That one tiny flaw aside, this is an excellent CD that I would recommend to anyone who likes originality and wants to get away from the 'pop' music.

This album hasn't left my cd player since I bought it. It's such an amazing mix of heavy guitars and haunting vocals. I know that's how it's often described, but there's a reason for that. The lyrics are beautiful, and the album as a whole is very cathartic. I think that anyone who gives Evanescence a chance will soon fall in love with their unique sound.

I think the best description for Evanescence's music is "rock opera". There is so much going on with the songs on this album, vocally, lyrically, and musically, so many layers, that it is much like an opera. Evanescence does a great job of leveraging their interest in classical music with their love for some decently hard rock. Each song on this album is heavy on the classical strings and piano, with a particularly poignant cello solo on "Hello" and some very sweet violins on "Tourniquet" leading into "Imaginary". But the classical sound is not buried in the screaming guitars and crashing drums. I think it's a great mix. Add to that the vocal genius that is Amy Lee, whom I think has the best female voice in rock today, and the result is some pretty enchanting stuff. While I love the band and their sound, I just can't say enough about Amy - she's only in her early 20's yet she composed the choral arrangements on this album which are hauntingly beautiful (check out "Haunted" and "Whisper"), and her voice resounds with the experience of someone much older. I think she's going to be a huge star. I read an interview in which Amy listed one of her favorite pieces as Mozart's "Requiem", and if you go back and listen to "Requiem" you will definitely see how it influenced this album.

I usually don't listen to much of this type of thing, and I really didn't have much interest in this cd at first, but a friend of mine got it and made me listen to it. Anyway it does have some really good songs on it. Plus Evanescence is from a great state......

I really like this CD. The only bad thing is that after I bought the CD, the band got popular and all the radio stations started playing "Bring Me to Life".
