List All 89 Reviews About what I expected
Nu metal? No, I don't believe so. I think it was a solid sophomore effort from the band here, and I still feel that they have somewhat of a unique niche in music today. Amy's voice is ever strong and although the songwriting is perhaps not quite as diverse as the first album, there are still some real jems here. I've heard a lot of opinions on this album--everything from complete trash to the best album ever. These are extremes written by emotional fans who have some sort of weird ties to the band. But from a casual fan with an outsiders perspective, I like the music and it I give it a B+.

They Did Good
their music has gotten a little heavier from before and amy's voice is stronger but it is definitely a good album. i still think that fallen is the best one that evanescence has done. their songs though are kinda the same and to me, they sing about the same thing over and over and over again. but i still think evanescence rocks. i would totally buy their next album.

Evanescence Still Has "EV-erything"
After "Fallen", I became an immediate fan, so this as a shoe-in to my collection. Amy Lee's voice melts into a rich smoothness in ballads, and still rises above in hard guitar runs. The songwriting in this post-"Fallen" release is not lacking. Lee is an amazing talent on the Baldwin, on writing, arranging, and in the studio. At first listen, I was expecting alittle more, as most second releases
usually pale in comparison. This quickly became a hit with me, but true die-hard EV fans welcome new material. I think others who singled out "Fallen" because of it's popularity, would not particularly like this release. It has a more unique sound. I was concerned about Ben Moody's departure, whose long-lived work with Amy help form the band's early sound. I will say, after listening to all the tracks for the first time, it all came together for me at the end. "Good Enough" is single-handedly the most beautiful track on the album. The opening piano solo is like the heavens above open up, an ethereal blend of moving waves of emotion, which moved me to tears. This particular track was written by her after a reconciliation with a life-long love, who is now her husband.
Overall, this is a good album. There are a couple tracks that are lacking, but this proves their name wrong..
"evanescence" means "to vanish". Clearly, they haven't.
