Osaka, Japan. 2017 Synthesis arrangement In 2017, a rearranged version of the song was recorded for the band's fourth studio album Synthesis. The new version was made available for digital download and streaming on August 18, 2017; it was also made available for instant download for concertgoers who purchased tickets for the band's Synthesis Tour. The Synthesis version of "Bring Me to Life" replaces the drums and guitar from the Fallen version with string arrangements accompanied by crashing cymbals, "tension-building" timpani drums and various electronic elements throughout. It also removes Paul McCoy's vocal feature. Several critics have described its new arrangement as "dramatic", with Billboards Sadie Bell deeming it "just as rich" as the original and Rolling Stones Brittany Spanos calling it a "cinematic take". Lee has described the song as "new" to her again due to the fact that she incorporated musical elements and vocals which she had "heard in [her] head" since its release.
