Picture Tori Amos fronting Nickelback and you`ll get an idea of the sound behind Evanescence, an Arkansas quartet whose introduction to the world came via the DAREDEVIL soundtrack. With its debut FALLEN, Evanescence further pushes the envelope on the aforementioned description, with frontwoman Amy Lee pouring her light-yet-strong vocals into the aggro-rock workout "Bring Me to Life" and industrial trip-hop of "My Last Breath." Although guitarists Ben Moody and John LeCompt leave no riff unplayed on hard-hitting cuts like "Going Under" and "Taking Over Me," Lee brings a nice balance to the table with her gorgeous piano runs, which come to the fore on the very Amos-like "Hello." The perfect balance of hard and soft is met on "Haunted" with its ambient nuance stoked by clattering beats and loops, crunching riffs, and the use of a children`s choir. Goth-like in mood yet nu-metal in execution, FALLEN could very well have been where Amos` first group Y Kant Tori Read ended up had they not come along 15 years too soon.

I now listen to this CD over and over and over in my car. It gives me a good boost in the morning going to work and coming home. I just love the songs and overall the whole thing. I highly recommend getting it.

This is definately one of the best CDs of all time. This band is a mixture between Classical and Rock, sometimes only classical, sometimes only rock. This band is great if you like rock music. Amy's vocals are outstanding in every heart-filled song, after you've listened to the CD you'll never want to stop, These songs are amazing in that you never get tired of them no matter if you've listened to them a million times. You won't want to pass this band up.

Evanescence is probably one of the best bands ever formed; this CD prooves it.

This album is full of pop-catchy goth-metal. At times, you will bang your head like there's no tomorrow; at times, you will get that feeling like someone scrubbed your soul with a Brillo pad, but if you're interested in pop-catchy goth-metal then that's a good thing. The only complaint I have is that the radio edit of "My Immortal" is actually better than the album version and unfortunately doesn't appear on the album even as an alternate cut.
