Query: Not bad for a debut...

... but I've heard better! The songs, while rocking and quite good, do just sound like variations on one theme. I love "Bring Me To Life" as a track, but having heard all the versions of it possible (with the "rap", without the "rap", accoustic, live, etc) I have to say that the song is only as good as it is because of Paul McCoy of 12 Stones. That's a REALLY good album.Seriously, give 12 Stones a listen and I guarantee you'll agree with me on which Wind-Up band has more talent. I'm not saying Evanescence are bad, the album's quite good for a first go, but as someone who has been reviewing CDs for some time and is themselves a musician, I can say this is not as good as it's hyped up to be. It IS the best album of the year... but that isn't really saying a lot!
