Evanescence album

borland · 10th June 2003, 17:21

anybody else got it?
personally I reckon it owns. Go to your local cd store/kazaa today and have a listen :-)

[reyPh] · 10th June 2003, 17:23

Might go buy it for a friend soon. Admittly only heard their one hit single (bring me back to life) but thats good enough to buy it.

You listen to Tadpole? they are very similar styled music.

Rahven · 10th June 2003, 18:15

I certainly like it and will be getting legal copy of album as soon as I recover from the nasty horrible flu. Another simiilar band to them is Nightwish

[TS]Sephiroth · 10th June 2003, 18:16

Two songs (Whisper and Bring Me To Life, IIRC) are good, the rest are way to whiney and gehy.

Maverick · 10th June 2003, 18:23

Yup, it's brilliant... I actually got this CD on import from Real Groovy about 2 1/2 months ago, cause I didn't want to wait for the damn thing to release in NZ.

Gambit · 10th June 2003, 19:01

very good indeed
love the album

borland · 10th June 2003, 19:05

pupazz you can shut your hole :-)

I thought all of them were good. even the slow ones.

xtraKD · 10th June 2003, 19:24

Ahhhhh evanescence, not too long ago they were a christian rock band. They were heavily marketed in christian publications and what not, untill they hit the big time and they sold out on jesus.

Very typical nu-metal sounding band, but the vocal melodys are pretty cool. Ill give them a life span of 1, maybe 2 years before no one gives a shit.

Cyberbob · 10th June 2003, 20:19

bloody good stuff

they've got a few more 'albums' around the place, theres alot of great stuff on them too.

ilk · 10th June 2003, 20:29

Music: Nu-Metal Fluff
Chicks Voice: Worth paying album price for.

Sounds about right to me.

Divine · 10th June 2003, 20:35

They do a pretty good APC - Orestes cover.

Eyetawkrap · 10th June 2003, 20:58

I always thought they were a shitty nu-metal christian band.

But that chicks voice is pretty cool.

borland · 10th June 2003, 21:04

Music: Nu-Metal Fluff << for some reason I like nu-metal. sue me.
Chicks Voice: Worth paying album price for. << added bonus, which is why I like the album heaps

how did they sell out? i didn't know they had.

they've been at the top of the christian rock charts since march in the US; and the single went straight to number one when it was released in the UK only a few days ago.

How so?
I've got alot of their earlier work, and its not too much different from the stuff they've got now, and was never really very big in portraying their christianity in their songs

Eyetawkrap · 10th June 2003, 21:43

Oh please it was pretty fucking obvious they are christian from that Bring me to Life song.......they haven't sold out on jesus.

duckstab · 10th June 2003, 22:01

I want to see: Evanesence (Feat. MC Hammer vs. Wing)

some day

Eyetawkrap · 10th June 2003, 22:49

MC Gunz vs Wing too

o9 · 11th June 2003, 00:24

Whats the difference between christian rock and rock?

Pitt-Riff · 11th June 2003, 00:48

Depends if they spout their religion or not, who wants to be fucking preached at? Themes of a sad dogma are not my cup of tea thanks.

do song lyrics really bother you THAT much? surely it's more about the music?

what if the song was in another language?

theres a difference between your typical 'christian rock' and a rock band which is christian.
IMHO Evanescence dont spout their religion at all, so its all good

Spoon1 · 11th June 2003, 10:07

They need more vocal harmonies.

Deepee · 11th June 2003, 10:58

LOL Evanescence.

So this is how these shit manufactured try hard bands get famous. Ppl do actually think they are cool. Of course, in the wake of shit left from St. Wanker, i guess any rock or nu-metal would look cool.

Lyrics and vocal melody are a HUGE part! I like to hear and relate to the whole piece as opposed to going "well I'll ignore THAT part......I like the bass though" or "Dreamtheater are cool, except the wailing vocals....". It's personal preference, by the way, haven't heard Evanescence, although I did hear a brief snippet once, thought it was Blindspott and Tadpole combined! Nu metal is on it's way out.......I hope.

Some people like Evanescence. Some proofs...

Reductio ad absurdum:
1. You do not like Evanescence.
2. Everyone is exactly like you.
3. Therefore, nobody likes Evanescence. (1,2)

Or, the humble Venn diagram:

listen armourking.

we all know your a socially gimp who has some factuation with mathematics. Even though such is the case, there is no need to rationalize every thing in this universe (i.e music threads) with mathematics.

Thanks very much for the pretty diagram though, if only there was someone of third form intellect who you could cleverly explain your witty venn diagram too.

<insert my sig, cause if im posting lame shit , you'll want to know fucktard is doing it>

Nice dodge, matey, you should become a politician.
What is it with you people that you feel you must try feebly to insult people in order to... well, I don't know what the hell you are trying to do. Rebuff my argument? Hardly.
Shouldn't you be at school learning rational arguments, anyway?
You'll find you'll 'win' more arguments with well placed, logical statements rather than the puerile filth you have a" factuation" with.
Good day sir.

I'd say christian rock is rock which contains singing (usually advocacy) about god/jesus/suchlike.
Evanescence is not under that definition christian rock. The fact they may or may not be christian has nothing to do with it. If members of some other band happen to be skiers, it does not just automatically make them a skiing band, nor does it make their music skiing music.

Deepee posted some mindless bullshit

Insulting someone because they have a basic knowledge of mathematics only implies that you don't, and are therefore a retard. bugger off.

o9 · 11th June 2003, 14:39

What if they sing about skiing?

Deepee · 11th June 2003, 14:45

ooo ouch.
man stop being such over sensitive geeks and chill.

origionally by Soul Embraced too

I wouldnt say preachy, but it is about finding peace in death, in some sort of heaven

so its up there, but barely preachy

By denying they are a christian nu-metal band

I love bands that are inspired by god, have songs about god, sing about god etc etc, but when asked about it respond with something like the following

"OMG JEEZ WE DONT WANT TO BE LUMPED IN WITH THAT SCENE, WE ARENT A CHRISTIAN BAND, AND WE ARE NOT NU METAL EITHER, I THINK WE ARE MUCH MORE DIVERSE, WE HAVE A REGGAE REGGAE SONG ON OUR ALBUM (yes blindspott) LOLOL!"

or words to that effect

borland · 11th June 2003, 20:02

bahahah@ blindspott

xtraKD · 11th June 2003, 20:20

and no, I dont actually love those sorts of bands
