Negative Positive
Title: Great follow-up, but needs time to grow.
Review: Everyone and their mother wants to compare this album to Fallen, and rightfully so. Fallen was amazing in every way. As another review said, Linkin Park-ish and dark.TOD is different however. Shedding their Linkin Park ripoff label, Evanescence seems to have returned to their darker roots - their older stuff. This album sounds more like "Even in Death" or "Away from Me" rather than "Bring me to Life".Not to say that this is a bad thing. Unfortunately, those, like myself, who were expecting a hard hitting Fallen part 2 will find that this album will take some time to grow on them.The music from this album really grabs you when/if you get to see them live. My appreciation for the album didn't hit until I heard "Sweet Sacrifice" and "Lithium" from the stage. Pure gold.4 out of 5 stars for the departure from the norm/expected yet still making great music.
Is the review positive or negative?
