I love Fallen but I like Origin alot more. To me Origin has this "mystic" feel and I totally love that feeling, and the emotions described in the songs on Origin are so real. Origin also gives off sort of a victorian feel, I don't know maybe it's just me getting those vibes but I love it.

I agree with that, I like Origin better. I loove Fallen, still, but I just perfer Origin.

I think Fallen has a better album cover.

I love Origin...but I said that about Fallen when I got it. I only just got Origin, and personally I like Ev's old stuff. There are some really interesting tracks on Origin, which I can't stop listening to because I am attached. Basically, I love Evanescence so much, that everything they produce I am bound to like.

How can anyone choose between two works of perfection? They are unique of each other, which is why I love each one so much

As Bokuho said, it is basically Ev showing off what they could do without a major label holding them. Even if the songs weren't necessarily what they wanted, it seems as if the result as a whole album is. It's practically perfect.

As singular tracks though, I prefer Fallen's tracks over Origin's. Fallen has amazing songs and most of them are single-worthy songs (GU, BMTL, Everybody's Fool, MI, Haunted, Tourniquet (people that I've seen on another board really like this song and would like it as the 4th single), Imaginary (Amy's choice for 4th single), Taking Over Me, and Whisper). Damn, that's like the entire album, but all of those songs are worthy of being singles of which 3 have already been named.

Imaginary is my absolute favorite track. I love Origin's, but I prefer Fallen's. I like the changes in dynamics in that version. It goes from heavy to light, then heavy to light again, before finishing up at heavy and fading out. Favorite. Song. Ever.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone in making my point.

I have an appreciation though for pretty much all of their songs.

Couldn't agree more. As a whole album, Origin is more appealing. It has a real variety of genres and styles within each track. The instrumentation is a little more complex and less structured and formulated like Fallen.

But I do prefer Fallen's tracks over Origin's. Big time. Imaginary is the one song that is pure beauty to my ears. And I am talking about Fallen version. Most everyone seems to prefer the Origin version... I don't see it. The added strings are brilliant. The piano during the verses is what first hooked me in. I prefer the Fallen version's lyrics. The bridge is absolutely gorgeous. The one thing the Origin version has over Fallen would be the kickass guitar solo mixed with Amy's background "aaaahs".

Now, if you asked me, Fallen or demos (non Origin)? I would probably say demos.

I used to, actually up until recently, really prefer Origin's "Imaginary" over Fallen's. The reason? I'm not exactly sure. But that middle part where the choir comes in and the guitars is just the best thing ever (Fallen version). Honestly I think that might be my favorite part of any of their songs because it just sounds that good. That's what pushed Fallen's version over Origin's. I also agree with you about the lyrics on Fallen's being better.

You know what i like both origin and Fallen. I love every single song from EV. So to me I can't say which is better cuz I love it all.

Both Albums are great but Fallen sounds more "complete" then Origin. The Songs (Song-Lyrics) are great on both Albums.
