Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: This Album REALLY stinks! Comment: I REALLY wish I had read the comments before purchasing. Having been a fan since "Fallen", I thought that maybe I would enjoy another great album. I love Amy Lee's voice...Well this one was "the WORST music I have ever heard." The loud "Metalica like music" is all you hear. You can not hear a word of what Amy Lee is saying in her lyrics. Every single song is just awful. I am SO disappointed. Customer Rating: Summary: Ok... just not what I would usually go for Comment: The style of The Open Door was definintely different from that of Fallen and Anywhere But Home... the songs tended to be more depressing than usual and in the case of some, with more of a heavy metal style. Personally, I preferred the style of Fallen... but I'm still relatively happy with this album. Some of my favorites are Sweet Sacrifice, Call me When You're Sober, Lithium, and All That I'm Living For. Customer Rating: Summary: Great rock album! Comment: Excellent return for Evanescence! Just the best female fronted band today. Highly recommended! Customer Rating: Summary: Granddaughter loves it Comment: Personally, I'm a Peanuts Whalum fan. Love jazz; smooth jazz..and even the Dixie Chicks. But this is what my granddaughter wanted. So ordered it for her. She is happy! She is particular about what she likes and doesn't like. So if this is your kind of music, get it. Customer Rating: Summary: Good but not better Comment: For the Evanescence fans from their CD "Fallen" you'll only be slightly dissapointed. I could listen to every song on "Fallen" but there is only a few where I don't really want to hear. Overall it's a nice cd. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: There's nothing like a breakup to focus your muse. This follow-up to the stunning, multi-platinum Fallen was penned as singer Amy Lee's troubled romance with bandmate Ben Moody was spiraling out of control, impelling her to craft an anxious record full of recriminations, revelation, and self-flagellation, as she questioned everything that kept her whole. It's a fascinating journey for the listener as she ventures into her own personal heart of darkness, her stricken, perfect voice suspended on an unsteady precipice between breakdown and breakthrough. Despite the loss of two members, including guitarist Moody who left mid-tour in 2003, the album has a maturity, sophistication, and a singular vision that wasn't found in their earlier work. Stately and as exotic as Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, with its intricate instrumentation, disturbing imagery, and disembodied chorus, The Open Door shows exactly what this band is capable of. "Snow White Queen" is a goth-y alternative to Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together," equally anthemic, but with much more grit and pain. --Jaan Uhelszki
