This is a really cool sounding album. This chick (Amy Lee) is only 20, and her voice is pretty cool. Check it out if you don't have it. The album name is Fallen.

only heard the one song they overplayed on the radio so far, but some people here at work said its great too. i like the fact that she dissed howard stern, scores points in my book. when i first heard that song, i thought it was linkin park with a guest singer.

 

[Snowbi-Wan]

I've got it. Its good. But lately Amy Lee's attitide in interviews has really been turning me off to them. I'm glad I didn't buy it.

It's really a christian rock album, but as soon as they got some fame, they've denied that. But if you listen to the lyrics, there's no doubt about it.

I really like the one song they have out but Hazy freaks out and makes me change the station whenever it comes on.

However we did come up with a theory for the message of the song if you ever listen to the lyrics - "have sex with me so that I don't feel like a loser"

"leading you down into my core"
"save me from the nothing I've become"
I still really like the song though

Favorite song, don't know the name, is track number 4 on the album. Makes me bawl every time I hear it. Love it!

EVANESCENCE LYRICS

"Bring Me To Life"
(feat. Paul McCoy)

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

Used to like them but like some songs bring back bad memories or something negative, this one does that for me..... <_<

 

[Snowbi-Wan]

If you like Evanescence, there is another similar-sounding, but more talented band, called Lacuna Coil that you may want to check out.

WOW, you people are brutal!

That's brutal?

What if I had said "THEY SUCK"?

They have a couple songs in the Daredevil movie too, including the highly overplayed one.

 

[Guest]

Snowmaker.........What do you like????

 

[WETBAR]

I happen to like them alot. I downloaded all there songs from Kazaa after the first release came out. All the songs on the album are really good. It's just a Cd you can throw in and listen to from the beginning to end. I've watched them live on TV a number of times and they sound really good. It's hard to find bands that can play live and sound that great.

 

[Guest]

Being overplayed is not the bands fault.

 

[Snowbi-Wan]

QUOTE(Convincor @ Oct 27 2003, 01:01 PM)Snowmaker.........What do you like????
I never said I didn't like them.

I like all sorts of metal. Old, new, common, uncommon, etc

Some country, old school rap, and oldies.

Just go through the "What are you listening to now" thread and you'll get a good idea.

Like em. Christian Rock? I don't think so.

I think so:

Evanescence
Tourniquet

I tried to kill the pain,
But only brought more.
(So much more)
I lay dying,
And I'm pouring, crimson regret, and betrayal.

I'm dying,
Praying,
Bleeding,
Screaming.
Am I too lost to be saved ?
Am I too lost ?
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.

Do you remember me ?
Lost for so long.
Will you be on the other side ?
Will you forgive me ?

I'm dying,
Praying,
Bleeding,
Screaming.

Am I too lost to be saved ?
Am I too lost ?

My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.

(Return to me salvation)
(I want to DIE!)

My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.

My wounds cry for the grave.
My soul cries, for deliverance.
Will I be denied ?
Christ! Tourniquet! My suicide.

Snowie, I think you might be overanalyzing it a bit. I always thought there were elements of satanism and wiccanism as well. Don't think their obssessing over it in there music though!

 

[Snowbi-Wan]

The band may be in trouble. I won't post the whole story here, but their lead guitarist, Ben Moody (the guy responsible for writing a lot of their material) just up and left the band in the middle of their European tour. You can find all the detail and more here:

And the proof that they WERE a Christian rock bad is in there too.
