[b][color=teal][size=1]I know very little about this "band," except that their track on the ne DareDevil album, "Bring Me To Life," is the best song since New Found Glory's "My Friends Over You" (no, we are not here to debate the fact that "My Friends Over You" rules over every single person in the universe; that's flaming for another thread).

I'm asking if anyone has heard this song, and if they know if their other pieces are just as good.

Mmmmm... Evanescense... *drools*

Wow, I didn't expext o see them on Otaku boards. I myself haven't heard their track but I do know that one of the greatest guitarists i know, Rocky Gray (Formerely/currentely of the bands Lving Sacrifice and Soul Embraced,) is playing drums for them. Why he's playing drums I don't know, but I have a lot of respect for him so I'll probably check out their CD when it's released march 4th.
Ohh, and don't take me for a jerk, but I think it's Evanescence not Evanescense.

"Bring me to Life" is a GREAT song. I love it. I just sit here on my computer having it loop over and over. Another good song is Wake me up Inside, it is only the singer singing. ^_^;; Without the other guy singing like in Bring Me to Life(can't recall name, think it is Paul something) But yes, both are great songs. ^_____^

I don't think it's very surprising that people here know them. The band is seemingly everywhere now, although they are still rather low key.

Basically they just remind me of Linkin Park with a girl. I [b][i][u]hate[/b][/i][/u] Linkin Park, and female vocals (despite me prefering them to most guys) just cannot save this band for me. I've not heard [i]every[/i] song of theirs, but my opinion has remained the same.

Edit - I just wanted to stress the hate heh :)

When I first heard the song, I thought it was Linkin Park with like a guest vocalist or something lol. But then I was wrong so yeah

This is Evanescence first album using guitars and that rock sound. Thier first album, or her first album, was all piano or acoustic songs with her singing. This new album, Fallen I think is what it's called, was a complete sound change for them. Looks to me like it was for the better because now everyone knows about them.

The releaser of [i]Fallen[/i] released some glitchy versions of the songs on Kazaa before the album was released. They spread like wildfire, believe me I've heard them all. SO if you try to download songs from the new album, don't be surprised if you get one with "beep" or a "screech" at about a minute or two into the song. It's their way of deffering the online trading of the mp3s, it worked too.

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Hmm... I kinda got moreova gothly mood from them.

The lyrics seem to be a little more gothly too... but that could just be me...

I [b]loved[/b] 'Bring Me to Life'. I keep listening to it over and over. ^_^ That's pretty much my favorite type of music. I sampled a few of their other songs, and they're really great too.

Also, I think that song was perfect for setting the mood for Elektra. I absolutely loved it. ^^

It does remind me of Hoobastank a little, though.[/color] [/size]

[font=gothic][color=crimson]I'm starting to get into them, but not because of that Daredevil movie. Raiha recommended "Bring Me To Life", so I took a look at it. It was damn good, so I got a hold of "Haunted", 'My Immortal", "Fields Of Innocence", "Surrender" and "Whisper". They're not as good, but I still like them.

In the vein of my thoughts tonight though....God damn Australia for not having a decent taste in music.[/font][/color]

I finally got their Cd "Fallen" and it's pretty good. I still don't and have never liked "Bring Me to Life", that much, Paul Mccoy kinda ruins it for me. Anyhoo, my favourite track right now is probably "Tourniquet". They do a really good job of of pulling of Soul Embraced, even though the drumming is not at all as good as Lance Garvin. But, one place they do an even better job than Soul Embraced is in the vocals, I'm not saying that Chad Moore does a bad vocalizing job, but just that she has such a beautiful voice. Well, a beautiful voice except when she screams "I want to die", *shivers*, I really think that women should NOT scream ( AHH, bad memory's of the band Still Breathing.)

I'm also really enjoying tracks 4 and 9 where it's only her and a piano and then a couple backround instruments but who cares.

Sorry to kill most of you guys's fun but me personally I [size=5][color=red][b]HATE[/b][/color][/size]them....they're song is a load of crap! the only thing good about they're music video is the part where Amy's (The female singer) hand slips and then boom! she dies! may sound cruel but I hate 'em and I always will too my mind is the type where it says "I hate them and I will never change my mind!" and so I stay that way.I think they sing nothing but rock out ballady type songs not exactly ballads but close to them.sorry to offend but that song sucks for all I care they will crash and burn and become old news.........it happens to the best.............but mainly to the suckiest.

I prefer Lacuna Coil. They sound so simliar it's ridiculous. Lacuna Coil has been out far longer, and the vocals are almost exactly the same. The music is a bit different, but in my opinion far better.

Evanescence can die a painful death for all I care... until they ditch the stupid rap stuff anyway, in which case they'd be a bit above average.

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]I agree. I really didn't like the rap, and it didn't seem to fit in very well with the whole song. oO;

I downloaded 'Haunted' a month ago, and it had these annoying little 'beep' noises in it. Then, I tried downloading another one, and it had these weird 'swoosh' noises in them. ..;;

Soo... I haven't been able to listen to the whole song yet. However. 'Bring Me to Life', 'My Immortal', and 'Going Under' seem to be fine, though.

I don't like the music video that much. I think they could've done much better.

I still like Evanescence alot though. I'm not really sure what kind of genre it fits into, though.

Anywho... *looks up Lacuna Coil*[/color] [/size]

My Immortal is a good song, as is Wake me up Inside, and Bring me to Life. Though those are the only ones that I like by them.
