Instead, at least from what I’m hearing so far, they’ve done the bare minimum. a concept album), new instrumental techniques, drum solos.there was so much they could have done. Adding new instruments (the harp was a nice touch on the self-titled), writing an 8-minute epic, instrumental tracks (and I don’t mean intros, outros, or interludes), writing around a concept or story (i.e.
There were so many directions the band could’ve taken to make things interesting, yet familiar. Where’s the spice? Where’s the flavoring? Where’s the uniqueness? Just slapping together a couple guitars and piano does not an Evanescence album make (yes, I’m aware of the sketchy grammar there that was done on purpose). Everything released thus far feel really demo-y. On that account, they could have directly released an entire unreleased album of unknowns, demos (I'm not talking about Lost Whispers) that we've been waiting for years, but Amy is pretty stingy at that level. Who do they think they are making us wait 10 years and release such generic titles, without messing around? ), if they would have released an album every 3 - 4 years maximum. I sincerely believe that they could have worked and still be in the musical landscape as Avril Lavigne still is a little bit (even if her hours of glory have passed, she is not forgotten and there is a craze for her titles. I have the impression that there is no longer the desire, nor the effort. I have really felt for years that Evanescence has run out of steam and only serves income because Amy doesn't shine elsewhere. I know they have all matured, they got married, settled down, they have kids and a family life next door, they don't want to play dark emos anymore, but nothing prevents to make projects and sounds of quality. 15 years before and without today's technology and the group found a way to make elaborate, original sounds. They are amazingly good, especially The open door which is absolutely amazing. I listen to Fallen and The open door very often and I can't believe that these two opus are more or less 15 years old. It's hard to admit but if the group is falling it's because she doesn't know make the right decisions, at least not correctly and it's a shame when you know what potential she has!
General bad taste for collaborations (the Japanese group what a horror), for productions, for solo projects. She doesn't use much of what she can and tastes bad. I would never understand how with such creativity, all his projects are useless and bring nothing to the musical world. She has so much talent and an uncommon voice to pull out bland and uninteresting solo projects. The cover warned me and I understood it, the "Evanescence" in Gothic letters has disappeared so I think that we will no longer be able to have this side that we liked so much about them.Īnd Amy, while I have a strong respect for this talented woman, let's talk about it. I feel that this album will be a flop at home, I feel that the group is not going to surpass itself and will propose a generic, little daring rock soup. In fact, I tell myself that I waited almost 10 years for this? I was waiting for them around the corner, and I told myself that they will be part of those groups that release masterpieces every 10 - 11 years like Boards of Canada, Portishead. The lyrics aren't great, the sound is poorly mixed, and I don't like the political turn Amy has taken because even though I love her, she doesn't seem to understand the real issues people have. I only listened to them once, it's pretty crazy actually, it never happened to me for any track from them. It started well with Wasted on you, which I find very good, and then came the cold shower with the following titles. To tell the truth, I am quite disappointed with the titles launched. Their new album I don't feel it too much. Now I'm going to express my opinion on this, why I think Evanescence has become a mess. I'm still a fan, they made my childhood and my adolescence and continue to help me, I respect the humility of the members of the band very much because they did not take the big head and keep their feet on the ground, and that I'm really happy that they kept it simple.
