Evanescence is a milestone in my book, since they're the fist rock band for which I have bought an album for, and the first 'real' CD I've bought (I always buy movie scores).
I first heard them in the Daredevil Trailer, downloaded the song, and loved it. I downloaded the rest of their songs, loved them, then loved them so much I bought the album.
You notice how before the album came out, if you downloaded the songs, they sound different from the real ones on the album? For example, 'Haunted' doesn't have that scary ghosty intro, and 'Tourniquet' and 'Imaginary' don't join up with that orchestrated thing.
The final versions of the song on the album are excellent. I think the ones before them are rough cuts, so if you heard their songs from that, they're still good, but you don't have the real thing.

I might have to download another song or two of theirs to see if they're any good.

For pete's sake, they are NOT goths. Even if they were, they still make good music.
I don't actually have a song on that album that i skip over regularly.
And for some reason, the MP3s on the net don't give you the background noise during songs and in the interludes between songs. There are a few songs backed by a choir actually. Gives the album a eerie feeling, and works well. And Amy Lee's singing is something different. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it hooked me.

It's a rockin' album. I heard Kyle (from the Hot 30 Countdown) say that they were Goths, but you look at their pics in the album, and well, not really. Amy looks hot in the Bring me to LIfe video clip. That flowing nightgown just sold me. They're just (now) famous rockers who also happen to love Nintendo too (the Fusion Tour)!
You know, even though some of their songs are maily concerned with death (Tourniquet is about suicide), I'm not bothered by it. The intro to Haunted is creepy, but sets the mood well. I love it.
I can't really say anything bad about it, cause there really is nothing bad about it.

i actualy tried to download Tourniquet, and you know the bit where she screams out "I want to die"? Well, b4 the album came out, that bit wasn't in the song yet, and I downloaded it again, it was in there, but it was like all weird. It was all muffled and sh*tty.
Oh well.

Hmmmm......
I had downloaded Imaginary (before I bought the album), and when I went to their official site to get the lyrics, the whole last verse ("Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming......") was swapped and was now the beginning of the song (which was what I had), so in other words, I really didn't have the 'complete' album until I actually bought it.
Haunted didn't have that weird intro, it just went straight into the rock guitar. And Tourniquet and Imaginary weren't joined up with that connecting orchestration.
Just saying.

I guess I'm not the only fan here then
My favorite song on the album is Whisper, which has a really cool ending to it.
The band isn't all that gothic, and to tell you the truth, I don't mind at all. I like Evanescence because they express their emotions and want to do music because they want to, not because they want to become famous and rich.

But Chasefox, you've been a fan of theirs for a year? Really? I thought they've only been around for like 3 months now. So does that mean you were fan when they where some sorta underground, unsigned band playing gigs on a radio station?

Evanescence, Staind, Trapt, Third Eye Blind and many other bands are gonna be there
I'll tell you guys how it goes, especially to see if Amy Lee (from Evanescence) seems as hot as I think she is.

EDIT: just don't go looking for pics of her in Google Images search, cause all you'll get are ugly, buck-toothed low-lifes with the same name.
