i kinda liked "call me when your sober" reminda me abit of how i feel towards my dad and his drug/alcohol addiction( he drinks alot and smokes pot way to much and has a bad habit of driving while under the influance)

I think that if you don't like Evanescence you should stop wasting your time on reading what people have to say and then post how much you hate the band. That's very childish.

Anyway, I like this CD a lot. I love "Good Enough." It's such a happy song.
I like "Lithium" because it's so wonderful. Happiness in a negative way. For a while it was my favorite song off of the album.
I love "The Only One." It's now my favorite song. Her voice range at the end it just amazing. I mean the backing "Ooo Ooo" at the end, not the main vocals.
"Snow White Queen" really has the stalker-ish feel that was intended. Creepy.
"Lacrimosa" is just amazing. Especialy the big epic-ness of the ending guitars and the ending "Amen" by the choir.
"Sweet Sacrifice" helped me to overcome some of my petty fears. Like the kind of fear you get when you feel like someone is watching you or that type of fear that you get when you go to bed at night after watching a really scary horror flick. The "Fear is only in our minds Taking over all the time" part is what helps me.
Over all, the entire album is so amazing. A lot heavier, but "Fallen" will still have that special place in my heart where I will like it so much more than "The Open Door."

Correction. It's a music thread about Evanescence's latest album. Not music in general. If you look at the title is says "Evanescence - The Open Door" Not "Music"

I really don't care if you waste your time posting about a band that you don't like, I just think it's childish and if your taking the time out to read what someone says about a band you don't like you must like them somewhat.

Okay. I'm not going to argue anymore.

Hey. This was my fav album from 2006. The best songs on it, for me, were;

Your Star, Snow White Queen, Lithium and Lose Control.

I love some of the lyrics on this album, especially in Your Star and Lose Control. And Amy´s voice throughout is fantastic.

I try not to compare it to Fallen, which was really special, this is different though.

i loved this album, but i'm expecting the next one to do something a bit different because a lot of the tracks seemed to be very similar to those on "fallen", but it was nice to see Amy push her voice on a few tracks. She has such an instrument it would be a shame for her to become stale due to repetitive writing. love them, though.

I was a little surprised to hear that Good Enough is the next single to come off this album.
I think its a great song (thought it was a tad cheesy at first though) but dont really see it as single material. Maybe I heard wrong......I would probably have picked "All That Im Living For" or "The Only One".

It will be interesting to see what the video for Good Enough will be like though....

Fallen is better but I like The Open Door as well

Jesus Christ listen to something other then Evanesence.....
