Fallen is the major-label debut of Evanescence, a Little Rock, AR-based quartet led by the soaring vocals of 20-year-old Amy Lee. Emboldened by the inclusion of its single "Bring Me to Life" on the soundtrack to the hit film Daredevil, Fallen debuted at an impressive number seven on Billboard's Top 40. But "Bring Me to Life" is a bit misleading. A flawless slice of Linkin Park-style anguish pop, it's actually a duet between Lee and 12 Stones' Paul McCoy. In fact, almost half of Fallen's 11 songs are piano-driven allads that suggest Tori Amos if she wore too much mascara and recorded for the Projekt label. The other half of the album does include flashes of the single's PG-rated /p>
u-metal ("Everybody's Fool," "Going Under"). But it's the symphonic goth rock of groups like Type O Negative that influences most of Fallen. Ethereal synths float above Ben Moody's crunching guitar in "Haunted," while "Whisper" even features apocalyptic strings and a scary chorus of Latin voices right out of Carmina Burana. "Tourniquet" is an anguished, urgent rocker driven by chugging guitars and spiraling synths, with brooding lyrics that reference Evanescence's Christian values: "Am I too lost to be saved?/Am I too lost?/My God! My tourniquet/Return to me salvation." The song is Fallen's emotional center point and defines the band's sound.
Cpunks,So, I'm a thinking and when I'm not thinking, I'm writing about thinking. I did the random thumb twirl this morning and stopped on Evanescence. Naturally I had to listen to the new one "The Open Door" and I started to immediately think about "Fallen" the first Evanescence CD that owned me for months in 2003. I had to explore why the music from the new CD was leaving me wanting..."Hello, ...

I'm so tired of being hereSuppressed by all my childish fearsAnd if you have to leaveI wish that you would just leave'Cause your presence still lingers hereAnd it won't leave me aloneThese wounds won't seem to healThis pain is just too realThere's just too much that time cannot eraseWhen you cried I'd wipe away all of your tearsWhen you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fearsAnd I held your h...

So there I was, a simple 3 years ago when I discovered Evanescence. I thought the song Bring Me To Life was pretty good, so I invested in Fallen. As I listened to it (over and over, as it turned out) I came to love a lot of the songs and generally the album as a whole.The opportunity arose to see them in concert in Cleveland, so I bought tickets as soon as they were available. The short summ...

I discovered that I'm about 4 years behind the times. Since Storm Large did this song on Rockstar: Supernova, I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Thank God for iTunes.
