Mon Mar 28, 2005 9:51 pm

I love Evanescence, there songs are so beautiful, my favorites are Bring me to Life, Where will you go and Missing.

Hmm, I think that they're pretty good. I only listen them once in a while, and it's usually to sing to them. My favorite songs are "Tourniquet" and "Hello." (The piano part in Hello is very pretty if I don't say so myself.)

Love. =P

I can play 'My Immortal' on the piano. Which is good.

My favourite songs are 'Everybody's Fool', 'Anywhere', 'Even In Death' and 'Anything For You'.

Indifferent, if not leaning on the dislike side. I respect any co-ed bands just for their sheer rarity. But it's not really my style of music at all. I don't really understand the hype, either. I kind of feel like it's all been done been before.

They make music, and preform live, so I respect them. Not a problem with them.

But they aren't my kind of music. Can hardly call them metal, but I do like a few of their songs.

You, Even in Death, and Surrender are nice, even though I won't listen to You now that I know the story behind it.

I never liked them and I still don't.

Not to hurt anybody that likes them, but I hate them. Alot. *refrains from posting anymore on account of Rune*

I don't really like "Even In Death". I don't know why. Everyone is so addicted to that song.

Ha! =P

If I recall correctly Dawn, you didn't like them until I made you give them a chance, and then you fell in love ;P

When I first heard of them, I didn't want to like them because I kept hearing about them too much. And then I heard Bring Me To Life on the radio and fell in love with it before I even knew what it was or who it was.
And then when I found out it was Evanescence I started listening to more songs, and liked everything I heard, so then I went and bought the Fallen album.

I love the lyrics, I love the beauty of them, I love the darkness of them, I love the religious references, even though I'm not religious. I love the sound of the music, the combination of classical piano and violen, with hard hitting guitar riffs. I love it. And Amy's voice is beautiful. That girl can do things with her voice I could never dream of.

However, I can't really stand the sound of her live. Some people can pull of live singing, and some people can't. Amy's one of the people that can't. I still love her voice though, as long as it's a studio recording.

I rarely even listen to Fallen anymore, as I discovered older non-album tracks (plus the songs from Origin). My favourite songs are Anything For You and Where Will You Go, though I like them all.
My favourite songs from Fallen are Whisper and Haunted.

Ammer, I don't like Even In death much either. But that might be because my twisted mind has thought up all these weird associations with it, and everytime I listen to it, I start cracking up.

I love the way she sounds live. She may not be as good, but if she performs acoustically, she sounds exactly like the album.

I like people to sound differently live, but Amy often sounds squeaky and very strained when she's live.
However, I won't debate it as that's been done, and we really don't need to be getting into it on multiple threads.

ive not heard of most of the songs listed thusfar..
though to be fair, the most recent thing ive heard with amy lee in was Broken...
i need to buy me some new albums, got me a new IPOD to fill up.
(oh, i love em, even if i havent heard anything of theirs since the fallen album)

edit: okay, just found their other album(?) origin.
shouldna thought i'll be able to find it, its three years old and i live in the cultural wasteland of england, and i dont do sheffield at all.
oh well, getting it from my bros DJ site will do.

Although occasionally the style of singing and such gets to me, yes, I do like them a lot.

Tue Mar 29, 2005 6:58 am

I just hate her voice it's makes me get goosebumbs and not the good ones... I respect thier lyrics and music just not the sound that it results in...

Edit: sorry rune I didn't want this to result in any flaming either I just wanted to see if thier were any other people who didn't like them. I apologise to anyone who I hurt with my actions.

I didn't like it much when I first heard it, but it sort of grew on me o.o
