Evanescence and Queen

I will acquire some respect for Evanescence if they leave Wind-up Records and never work with Paul McCoy again.

Did not notice any similarities to Queen. Did notice similarities to a strange mix of Tori Amos and the Defgroans.

No f*c**ng way do they sound like Queen! For one thing the lead singer is a woman and for another, the songs aren't brilliant and they haven't got good guitar solos, in fact do they have any guitar? Or is it just that woman hogging all the limelight?

Don't like EVANESCENCE, was in my TOP5 crap bands
Don't find any similiarities at all

Well said Fenderak despite our differences (see Robbie topic) we are together in professing that Evanescence are shite.

"My immortal" is a breathtaking song and their album "Fallen" is the first cd in about two years that I would pay money for, if only I'd found it when I was in a cd-shop a week ago.

Actually, as I think I mentioned before, they sound like Linkin Park with a female vocalist.

The album isn't that good, it's all very bleak and depressing. Although admittedly My Immortal is really nice.

What's wrong with depressing music?

I dont like the band so much.The chick is pretty foxy,but its overproduced gothic (metal) and it should not be overproduced for the masses.

If this is a depressing music- I'm Donald Duck... Pop-goth, that's what it is... Want depressing music...? Check Peter Murphy or Lacrimosa...

Nirvana is one of the most depressing bands ever, but also one of the greatests.

Evanescence is a band that needs to mature more, but considering that they have just put out their first album they look very promising.
I have to say that "Fallen" is the best album I've heard from a new band since No Doubt's 'Tragic Kingdom', or 'Siamese Dream' by Smashing Pumpkins.

"Nirvana is one of the most depressing bands ever, but also one of the greatests."

Nirvana were always a pale imitation of The Pixies

How the hell does a band "mature" more??????? The backstreet boys always say their new album sounds "more mature", yet it's always the same crap.

LOL

Mature Crap, just like mature cheddar...

BSB can't write their own music.

As much as they like to get credit themselves for "co-writing" songs, we all know that boy bands can't make any input other than coming up with some silly lyrics.

Evanescence deserves the credit for writing their own music. What I mean by saying that they need to "mature" more as a band is to become more experimental in their music, but by putting out such a great album like 'Fallen' they have shown that they can do so.
I would also point the fact that Amy Lee sometimes fails to reach high notes on her songs played live like she does on the album. Although she has an awesome voice, the girl sure needs a voice coach.

"I have to say that "Fallen" is the best album I've heard from a new band since No Doubt's 'Tragic Kingdom'..."

It was the 3rd album by No Doubt.

For the rest I do think Evanescence are okay. However, NOT original. Metal + female vocals was invented by the Gathering some 10 years ago. Evanescence is the first band to make it in the world wide charts, that doesn't make them inventors. It's just nu-metal with female vocals. No more, we won't here anything from them when nu-metal is over.
