any fans of Evanescence?
i think they are amazing.
joined there online comunity. amy lee has a fantastic range. who agrees |
I absolutely loathe them. Their music gives me a headache and I rage quit the radio when they come on. It's just not my type of music at all. Welcome to TFP btw!!!!!!!!!
|
Evanescense isn't "enough" for me, although it was a good start for me to ultimately find the genre Gothic Metal, something like Nightwish. I like the more operatic lead vocals I find there, as well as the stronger background accompaniment.
If you don't know them, try: |
Musically Evanescence is just another goth pop band; lyrically they're junior high melodrama. Amy Lee isn't a great vocalist, but she's strong and distinctive, and the only thing that sets Evanescence apart.
|
I used to like Evanescence, but not so much anymore. Are they even around anymore?
|
It all sounds the same to me, which is fine. They have a formula that apparently works. It just so happens to sound like pretty emo vocals over top of generic metal (or "metalvator music" or "smooth metal," if you will).
I liked them when I heard their song the first few times. |

thanks so much. i've never heard of them but they sound brilliant! :) this is me set for the next few months... my type of music for sure. |
"Fallen" spent some heavy rotation time on my CD player when it first came out. I wasn't as into anything after that, to be honest.
|
I have one of their CDs (just checked it is the same as Cinns). I like it. Among the lots of CDs I have, this gets played moderately often.
|
Similarly, I enjoyed Evanescence when they first came out, but it was really just a gateway to what I think are better bands like the already mentioned Nightwish (with Tarja Turunen, not so much with the new singer) and Lacuna Coil.
Here's some Lacuna Coil for you since Nightwish was already posted... |

thanks.. i'll check those out. actually, another forum mentioned them but i never got round to looking at it. :) i'll let you know my reaction |
Glad you liked the Nightwish! And, because I have to pimp them out every chance I can...
...here's Van Canto performing a Nightwish cover. The thing that makes this awesome is that it is only voices and drums. No guitar, no bass, no keyboard. Van Canto has been my favorite band for the last 14 months. |
How come this isn't in the music forum?

you can blame me for that one. i saw the entertainment forum and thought straight away it would go here. only then after i posted did i see the music forum |
Nightwish is one of my favourite bands along with Lacuna Coil... I'm a sucker for strong female leads... Arch Enemy is another one you could look into for a more "metal" feel than opera.
|
Easily one of my favorites from them:
