Hmmm.

At this rate, we will be on The Open Door Discussion Part XX by the time the album is released.

Oh, the drama.

Anyway, as I've said before I love this album.
But I definitely understand why some don't.

Especially from first listen, even for me, it was extremely difficult to get into it. I wasn't expecting anything, but what I heard still threw me off guard. It was a little strange at first, but then I listened to it a second time and had more appreciation for it.

I can't really agree that all the songs kind of blend together. I can maybe see a hint of it, but I think the songs on 'Fallen' blended more together than this album. This album, to me, is full of 13 different tracks, that probably could of each been on a different album by different artists. That's how it sounds to me. I absolutely love it, each track brings something else to the album, and I think the reason some people might not like it, is because there isn't one theme in the CD. It's just all their experiences put into one, and they pretty much ran through every emotion.

Hmm.
That's just my thought.

I totally understand everyone's opinion though. We are all different, with all different music tastes. Evanescence's music has changed. So people who once loved Evanescence's music, might not love the music on this album. It's a completely new sound.
