The Open Door – EvanescenceView More By Evanescence Our ReviewAfter enjoying enormous success with 2003’s Fallen, Evanescence underwent an upheaval that led to co-founder Ben Moody’s departure from the band. Taking the creative reins firmly in hand, singer Amy Lee reorganized the group and made The Open Door into a personal tour de force. Unlike the more vaguely defined anguish of the band’s previous album, the songs here are rooted in specific situations and real-life heartbreak. What’s been added is a contemporary immediacy in songs like “Call Me When You're Sober” and “Snow White Queen,” both detailing struggles with obsessive, self-destructive love. Tracks like the Middle Eastern-influenced “Sweet Sacrifice” and the string-laden, slightly cacophonous “Lacrymosa” come from a more exotic place. Sonically, The Open Door frames Lee’s soaring, swooning vocals in dense and distorted textures, achieving a particularly unnerving luster on “Cloud Nine.” Newly-recruited guitarist Terry Balsamo adds both metal-tinged muscle and subtler dabs of sonic color at key moments, and The Open Door manages to reach exalted heights of feeling, beautiful with bruised desire..

I really don't think anythi Well done (4 stars) Evanescence has done it again—that is created an outstanding album with Amy’s beautiful voice soaring over piano, guitars, and strings. These songs are like poems—what lyrics! My favorite songs from this album are "Sweet Sacrifice," which is very different-sounding, "Call Me When You're Sober," "Lithium," "Lacrymosa," and "Your Star." Although, this is definitely a step down from Fallen BiographyFormed: 1995 in Little Rock, ARGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Evanescence filled a niche few knew existed upon their arrival in 2003: the need for operatic goth-pop, soul-baring introspection paired with churning metallic guitars. Singer/pianist Amy Lee cut such a figure fronting the group that it was easy to not think of Evanescence as a band, but rather a support group for her songs. After some lineup shifts, however, including the departure of founding...
