Exactly. And I hate Christian contemporary music anyway.

The singer (Amy) has a nice voice, the music sometimes has a nice "drive" to it - other times it's like Tori Amos-lite (with much worse song writing and even cheesier production).. If they sharpen up their songwritng chops and get rid of that stupid "dark ages" production style they could really be great.. Rhea's Obsession is a great "dark-core" band that's a bit more adventurous than Evanes....

Thanks, how did I miss this! DAMMIT! OK...couple things....

1) Sig (Pics, Videos, etc...)
2) They are NOT a christian band. Link - Second Column, top paragraph.
3) Linkin Park? Most likely someone who has only heard Bring Me to Life, which is beyond overplayed. If you'd take the time to give the rest of their music a chance you might think differently as BMtL is the only song with that guest vocalist on it.
4) Flash in the pan? I doubt it. Again, if you've heard the rest of their stuff, or seen them live, then you know what I'm talking about. Their live shows absolutely blow Fallen out of the water.

Um...feel free to ask any questions, I guess I'm the resident Evanescence freak around here! ;)

I just picked up this CD, and it's great! I'm up to track 9, and I haven't heard a bad song yet.

They kinda remind me of Stabbing Westward with female vocals.

Saw them at The Rave in Milwaukee. They put on a good show, but the guy from 12 Stones didn't sing with them for that song, even though he was there.
