Like many have said the notion of another album is fantastic however it seems unlikely to meet the standards of Fallen which in my opinion was a strong album compared to TOD. I do also think it is a shame many of their other songs never made it onto an album.
I am all for a band experimenting with different sounds and ideas yet at the cost of their business is it worth it to stray so far so fast?
I feel as though TOD though still Evanescence wasn't within the same genre as Fallen, as I am sure many will agree. If they did another album in order to gain back what they had I think they may need to return to their old sound which due to it's originality and her striking looks intised me like it did many others.
She has a beautiful voice that I feel TOD didn't allow her to show as well. Music whether written about happiness or sadness can still be good or bad either way and I guess what I am saying is, although TOD is Amy explaining how she's got over troubled times and what not, it's not as exciting as it could've been....then again, I do have a preference for metaphorical meanings, I like to listen to a sense of genuis and to say it took them so long to produce the album I don't feel it was as good as it could've been.
