    Default Evanescence

    Evanescence happens to be my favourite band of all time. They combine an amazing voice, good music, and beautiful lyrics (mostly written by Evanescence's Amy Lee herself) and make an memorable and awesome band. Amy Lee, the singer of the band, has one of the best and unique voices I've heard in a while. What's your opinion on Evanescence?

    Wasn't there a thread on Evanescence a few weeks ago... or months knowing my memory.

    I really like Evanescence, with my favourite songs being Before the Dawn, Taking Over Me and My Last Breath.

    Yeah, I like it. When I need to listen somewhat peaceful music, Evanescene is good.

    Amy Lee's voice is very nice doctored up on the album, but have you heard her sing in real life? It's horrible, off key alto, and paper thin. It's nice to see a girl in a band, but hows about we all go think back and try to find a girl in a band who can really sing and not just moan about darkness?

    Their music is ok, but what's gonna happen now that Ben Moody is gone?

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Yeah, her voice is only good with music, much like Utada Hikaru.

    The only song I'm familiar with is Bring me To Life. It's not a bad song, I liked it...the only thing good associated with the Daredevil movie.

    Eh, I used to like them, but now I find them very boring and just lacking in...substance and realism.

    P.S. Alison Goldfrapp of Goldfrapp, Andred Zollo of Pretty Girls Make Graves and Cerys Matthews of Catatonia.

    They'll do, right?

    I like them lots now. Got a lot of their songs when Lindsey gave me all his music, and sorta fell in love with the album. My Immortal, and Hello are a couple of my favourite songs. Amy Lee's voice is just so...distinctive..and that's something that you don't get too often. And she's really pretty too. Yup, I like Evanescence =)

    I'm not big on the band, but they're more tolerable than alot of other popular bands out these days.

    I don't like them. Amy Lee may have a good voice, but the band is, for the most part, unoriginal. Their music is just a combination of typical female singers meets Linkin Park. Their soft songs are just typical female lead songs. Their lyrics are so completely stereotypical teen poetry/angst they could be generated. Oh wait, they can. I just wrote an Evanescence song. Neat.

    Though I don't agree that they're just typical angst, I am getting a kick of that angst modulater Thanks for making my day.

    Evanescence is on about the same level as Linkin Park. They are so overplayed and sold out that that that I don't even know what. But they suck horribly and I wish death upon them.
