Just as empty and generic as their previous album. Decided to give it a listen because of some insane impulse to give this band another chance. I said it once and I’ll say it again: being able to sing loudly does not make you talented. Amy Lee’s voice is still highly overrated, the music is still terrible, and the lyrics are completely uninspired (I don’t know what’s worse, the deviantART-like suburban teenage angst lyrics on Fallen or spoon feeding the listener like the lyrics on this album do). At least now there’s not the whole “oh, we might be Christian but then again no” garbage. However, the brownie points awarded for that are taken away in surplus because of the way they butchered my favorite Mozart song in Lacrymosa. Way to go, guys!

What it comes down to: this band fails at having decent, or even acceptable, vocals, instrumentation, or lyrics. This album really isn’t worth your time or your money, unless cheap pop is your thing, in which case you will love this album to pieces. Oh, and I’d also recommend the likes of Linkin Park to you too. Have fun with your hollow nu-metal.

Item received promptly. I have played the CD both on my home theatre system and in my automobile. The songs are great but poor recording quality.

thank you for the opportunity to review the product.
