After reading tons of commets and opinions about the album, I get to a conclusion: we were expecting too much. I mean, after 2 years with nothing new, I was close to a heart attack, and I'm sure many of you were even worse ^^, and with all the news and comments on the album we've seen for the past few weeks, it only made our expectation grow even more. We (or most of us) were trying to figure out what the songs and the lyrics would be, and then listen to the album and find something completely different. That's why many of us didn't feel the same way we did after hearing Fallen for the first time; with Fallen, it was something new, and we were completely clueless of what we would hear. Plus, Fallen was the way for most of us to meet Evanescence and become fans, which means we absolutely loved the songs, probably on a first listen. With this album, we had clues, we had Amy's messages, we were anxious to death, and our imagination started to overreact, but we still thought it would be something similar to Fallen. And then we faced something that didn't match any of our thoughts. That's probably why many people didn't like the album on a first listen, but after hearing it repeatedly, started getting into the songs. This IS a new Evanescence, but it's still Evanescence, we will find the ties that bind the two albums sooner or later. Some people may still not like it, but it's their opinion, they have that right.
