This guy does not have ears

This guy is: Johnny Loftus on Windows Media Player powered by "AMG" – take a look at the excellent "AMG All Music Guide").

Fallen, the “debut” album from Evanescence is good from the beginning to the end, and I cannot say that from Linkin Park's albums (maybe only 4 really good songs per album).
Evanescence is not linked with Type O Negative, I do not see where this guy see that. And in fact, Evanescence is (in many aspects) far more gothic than Type O Negative (if you want real gothic industrial metal, take a look at Rammstein...). Must I note that the lead singer of Evanescence, Amy Lee, she knows how to sing and write melodies...
Moreover, the link with Tori Amos is not so easy to make... the voice and style are really different. Note: Amy's mascara is really lovely ;-)
And finally I really do not see where he is hearing these “piano-driven ballads” on half of this album, cos only My Immortal and Hello are piano-driven (and Hello is really beautiful, more in the spirit of 1997-1998 first demos of the band).
But... I am sorry to confess that Paul McCoy could be a really wonderful lead singer with a better band, with more melodies, cos the first album from 12 Stones is not really good (from my point of view).

So only one advice: judge by yourself! But personally, I love Evanescence (Amy Lee is really a marvellous singer) and I hope they will improve their gothic symphonic aspect, with this nu-metal dark side.

Evanescence is my favorite band out of everything. I listen to alot of diffrent music. Your making her sound like shes crazy. Shes not I relate to all of her songs. If she wrote them and she wrote them from her feelings then I know what shes going through. I think thats why that group is my favorite band cause I can relate to everything on the CD and amy has such an amazing voice.
