Yeah I do, but I gotta say their last album was nit that great. Of all their albums, this has to be their worst. Best is still Fallen, then The Open Door.

I think i like it a bit better than OD which idon't rate, didn't really have any standouts. Fallens entire album has great tunes though, really really good album. My imortal great track and holy crap...Bring me to Life is awesome.
Around the time it came out a friend of mine played me the album "Fallen." He really enjoyed the album and thought it might have been right up my ally. Overall I didn't care for it. Just wasn't my thing. Then "My Immortal" started playing. I have this strange obsession with the piano and found this song absolutely amazing. Couldn't care less about the rest of the album, but that song was fantastic.
Imagine my surprise and happiness when one day I hear it start playing on the radio. I couldn't believe they would ever play it on the radio. It just was so different. Then it happened. The piano solo was raped by some idiots decision to replace it with a heavily distorted guitar solo. I literally yelled "What the **** is this ****?" quite startling my girlfriend. It totally destroyed the song. To this day I will change the station if it ever comes on. I loath the music industry.

If you can read this I've momentarily stopped lurking.
Hating the music industry because an artist that you don't particularly care for changed a part in a song you liked seems harsh
then again you're probably just another bitter person who doesn't really feel the need to look further than the top 40 station for his music and comes to the conclusion that all music sucks
as long as you're happy with that, keep fighting the (useless) fight
They're a decent band, IMO. I don't go out of my way to listen to them, but I have quite a few friends that swear by them, and so I'll oftentimes hear their music while hanging out with them. I don't mind one bit.

They aren't my favourite or anything, but I do like them a lot. Never really understood the hate some people give them, as if they aren't a real band or something.

Like ten years ago some of my friends and I would get drunk and sing their radio hits because, while they're bad, they sure are a lot of fun to sing along with. Then we'd play NBA Jam: TE and River City Ransom on a Dreamcast. Then we'd go to the rock-climbing wall. Then we'd get drunker and sing TaTu.
God, ten years ago was so awesome.

Topic: Yes, their old stuff, including their pre-Fallen material. (October? Anywhere? Where Will You Go? Field of Innocence?) Have not listened to the new other than the one song on the radio that was kinda meh.
mostly just me at 15
by 16 I had moved onto Three Doors Down, which we all know is way more respectable
now I listen to korean boy band pop
I'm not sure, but I think you're going in the wrong direction. 3DD was respectable in '99 when Kryptonite was released. Since their second album, not so much. But both they and Evanescence are bands I was huge on when they first came out.

Agree with you there. They wanted to make a "full band" version of My Immortal, whereas the original is basically Amy Lee solo. Of course, Amy hates the song. She's absolutely sick of it, was even sick of it during the Fallen tour.
I kinda wonder where Evanescence would have ended up if Ben Moody hadn't gotten all, well, moody and ragequit. He wrote or co-wrote pretty much everything on Fallen. Then again, considering every other person in the band has quit at some point, Amy must just be a b**** to work with.
