I *Katie* will promise to respect other people's opinions and not bash them or get overly crazy. I promise not to be a fangirl/fanboy or a total hater and post my opinions in and MATURE manner.
Ok, I've just listed to it all the way through.
I wasn't at all surprised by the new ev sound. I don't think this album is at all experimental by my standards. I'd say it was over produced/tweaked. The songs are very predictable and nothing really stands out about them to me. It sounds like background music, which dissapoints me.
People have been saying that they didn't have any songs that really jumped out at them and I disagreed with. Good Enough and Lacrymosa don't seem cohesive with the rest of the album. To me that's a grood thing. I love both of those songs...
If anything, I was really hoping for lyrics that had matured and I feel like that is also lacking. Though there are a few catchy lines, over all I'd say the lyrics are too dramatic and too predictable.
However, I still like the album...sort of. I think amy's voice has improved SO much. (not that it was bad to begin with
) but some of her vocals are incredible. Whyyyy why why did they mask it with all those filters? her voice has so much power and character...
I honestly feel like evanescence really had something with the pre-fallen stuff, but they've really dissapated. But still, there's something about them...
