Evanescense - Fallen

Reviews and news about Fallen, the new album from Evanescence.

Reviews:
411mania.com: "It's like Linkin Park and Avril Lavigne made babies...Kickass babies."

Western Herald Online: "With all of the power of Evanescence's major-label debut, Fallen, it is going to be interesting to see the band progress in the next few months."

InternetEd: "Catchy Gothic metal featuring a talented female vocalist"

Arizona Republic: "Fallen offers a welcome twist on the usual recipe of female-led quartets. Evanescence isn't vanishing soon."

Music-Critic.ca: "Fallen is an amazing first look at this ‘up-and-coming’ rock duo."

Marty Dodge in Blogcritics: "A pleasant surprise all around, from a band that deserve to be huge"

The Theory in Blogcritics: "Evanescence has some goth-sounding undertones to their music. Strengthen those goth sounds, have better percussion, and add another main vocalist who's male and you have Wedding Party."

Sanford May in Blogcritics: "One hopes their sophomore effort will bring extended range to their obvious talent and innovative spirit. But their debut is a guilty pleasure worth the price of admission. Don't let the Christian-rock label scare you away."

News:
Billboard: "Evanescence Set Pulled From Christian Distribution"

    I listened to the entire album and while I'm not into their style of music some of their songs like "Back to Life" were somewhat melodic and others were hard core guitar laden songs you hear everywhere. I did object, however, to some of the lyrics and the last song (Mystic?) had what sounded like Satanic chanting interwoven in the music. As a Christian, that I just can't agree with and don't recommend it to minors. Some of the lyrics also mention rape, suicide, death, bleeding, screaming, etc... another reason to stay away from whatever it is they are trying to put out.

    Evanescence is a band that is finally totally differant then all of todays pop, they completely stand out. Amy's voice is increadable way better then any other pop star. The music is well balanced with her voice and also adds a wonderful quality. I have finally found a band that meets all my expectantions of music. I listen to the cd at least three times a day. I also like that each song is completely differant. Each time I listen to the cd it gets better.

    i bought evanescense last week and i haven't been able to put it down! i love their cd, although in some of the songs they mention things like suicide, death, bleeding and so on....i still think they have and excellent sound and that those words and phrases make the songs even better because they give the song meaning! i love evanescense!i'm listening to them right now!

    me dirijo a ustedes felicitando la buenísima banda evanescense,la verdad que cuando la vi por primera vez me encanto la banda, tienen un sonido muy singular, original y eso es lo que mas me hace identificar con ella. hace poco que la conosco y escuche comentarios que decian q ellos eram cirstianos, es cierto eso? bueno sean o no la verdad es que la banda suena muy biem.

    Fallen is a great album. Evanescense will great success in the future as long as they keep playing like they are playing. From listening to Bring Me To Life till I downloaded it off the internet it is one of my favorite CD's. I am going to go out and buy the CD it is so good. One thing I would like to know is that are they a Christian Rock Band or Gothic Metal or what? All I know is they are great and I can't wait to see them in concert or till there next CD comes out.

    I have listened to alot of great music
    from NINE INCH NAILS to TOOL but I think you guys have started a new generation of music, with your grat vocals & your hard quiter riffs & to have a femal vocalist sing in a band like yours is beautyfull. Keep making CD,S and I will keep listening to your great music.

    Es una combinacion de buen rock y buena voz lirica (encima voz femenina)que me resulta espectacular.
    me gustaria conseguir interpretaciones detalladas de las letras que me parecen INCREIBLES.

    OMG!!! I saw Evanescence 2 weeks ago in Idianapolis and they so rocked. They were there with 4 other bands, Staind being the headliner and they blew them outta the water not only in performance, vocals, but in crowd acceptance. They had the whole place rockin. If you love the music which is performed by Evanescence as much as I do, you must see them perform live they are AMAZING!!! Best concert I have ever been to yet and don't believe it can get much better than Evanescence!!!
