Before you can say Evanescence suck, I hope you have listened to their album. Almost all of their songs on their album is worth listening to, so don't go saying crap JUST because you hear the same song over and over. Go listen to the album and then tell me how good they are. Yeeeeeeeeeeeee haw! :beer:
 

I think it's a pretty good album. It's too bad the single has that janky Linkin' Park sounding chode on it.

>> "They're certified double platinum and that's not easy to do these days with all the bands sounding alike. There must be something special about them that makes people actually buy the whole album, am I wrong ?"

The reason people buy that crap is they don't know about Tori Amos or any decent goth rock groups like Bauhaus.

I think they've been fed the MTV mainstream rotation filler for so long all the good stuff has been buried.

So to them, this sounds new and ground breaking.

Just my $.03.

I just saw them live the other night at the MTV Hard Rock Live taping here in Orlando. They were much better than I thought they would be. The best part was that after it was over a guy came out and said that two of the songs didn't record good enough so they had to do them over. They came back out and played two songs again. When that was done they played "One" and "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. Also, during their set they covered "Zero" by the Smashing Pumpkins. They did that one pretty well also.

tori amos sounds nothing like evanescence. that being said atleast evanescence has a singer with a decent voice. not that shrill wavering souless voice tori has. can't stand tori's music..

[its cool to hate new music that is succesful because i know an underground band]

BUT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND! Their music sucks and i havent even listened to the whole album! But I did hear that ONE song played on the radio, therefore my opinon is correct!

I wasn't so eager to listen to their full album either. I've done this on many occasions to search for new bands/sounds to like. I put the thing on in the background and IMMEDIATELY I loved the sound of Everybody's Fool. If there's more than 1 song that deserves a lot of play on an album, I give it more of a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to hear at least 5 or 6 good songs on there...

So, Fobot and Fallenhero, do you like black metal? You can't say you don't unless you have heard every single black metal song out there at least once!

I've heard their entire album, and it still is not great. As a Linkin Park ripoff they're halfway decent, but the girl's voice indeed gets annoying in a few of the songs. But they suck well enough to be ranked up there with Britney Spears and NSync as pop bands.
