New Evanescence Album

So even I was skeptical about the new Evanescence album (self-entitled) because let's face it, every single band that you encounter is going to have a flop album. It's completely unavoidable and Evanescence seemed about due for it... Holy hell was I ever WRONG. This newest album is completely kick-ass! There's a definite 80's metal thing going on here and I love it. The 80's was the best decade for any kind of modern music, flat-out. Evanescence is slowly but surely heading into a heavier melody-driven path, and they're doing it really well. Now the last album, The Open Door, was a bit more on the lighter side, especially when you compare it to their first album. Now their first album didn't have quite as much variety as the second but they seem to be balancing everything out really well on this third album. Don't believe me? Just go and have a good listen to the very first song on there called "What You Want," if you're mind isn't blown once and for all for this band then there is no further hope for you. Not to mention in the music video you blatantly see Amy Lee headbanging and she's got some wicked makeup going for her. Just take a look...
