evanescence

Lacuna Coil? No, not at all. At the time, their first EP was OK, but little else, but it went straight downhill from there, leading them to be , IMO, one of the most horrible 90s metal bands, right down there with the likes of Moonspell.
Nightwish have gotten pretty popular, and I'd much rather hear them constantly than Evanescence, even if they bug me a bit too (but it seems every rock-band does these days, as someone here nicely put it: "Øystein hater moro", hah!)

Yay for stupid blathering.
I think Azigza should've been the big female-fronted rock band to get popular, but they don't have that hip metally vibe.

Meanwhile, on my streak of negativity: The new Iron Maiden cover art is the most ridiculous garbage I've seen in a long time.

Who cares if they're a put up job or if the bloke on the single is doing an average Mike Patton impression?

The piano bits, esp on trk 1, are great; the production is awesome and there are even a couple of songs that sound like Tori Amos.

What more could anyone want? A hot goth girl who can sing? They've got one of those as well!

more like a below-par MC Miker Gee impression

Ahhh, the good ol' "this musician is really just a ripoff of that musician" argument. I'm an internet message board poster!

Also, they're crap and spend too much time bending the binding of Bibles.

I keep catching a video that seems to not just be on heavy rotation, but weighty, portentous rotation, yet I can't help myself -- I like it. The song's okay, but nothing special. The video features the band on stage and the singer keeps seeing the occasional face turn all scary and demonic (like an Aphex Twin video!), then she swims with some jellyfish and manages to sing without any glug, glug sounds whatsoever. Then the entire audience temporarily turn into demons, before a (predicatably) creepy "twist" ending.

She sounds more like Enya fronting a nü metal band (or like someone drizzled the DNA of Clannad into the test tube marked "Linkin Park"), so I've just coined a new microgenre: Nü Age.

But yes, it should've been the Gathering. I heart Anneke von Giersbergen (though I haven't heard their last couple albums).

Like why, if Amy _is_ a good piano player, did someone else play them on the album?

THIS SONG OWNS

all of this time i can't believe i couldn't see. left in the dark but you were there in front of me. i've been sleeping a thousand years it seems. something everything. without a this without a that. don't let me die here. there must be something wrong.

briiing meeee toooo liiiiife

there must be something MORE

it was one of those lines that (deliberately?) misled ppl into thinking they were a christian rock band

thank you for the correction

sry :\

nah don't be!

i get lyrics wrong.

oh ok, i thought you were suggesting it was pedantic/annoying of me to point out a wrong lyric when most of your post was obviously not trying to be super accurate.

i just felt like pointing out that one b/c the christian rock thing was kinda interesting... anyway that part of the song is classic, lol
