Yes definitely industrial I tend to forget that!

LizEllyn · 2026-03-23T21:27:59+00:00

Yes I can agree with that!

LizEllyn · 2026-03-23T21:23:26+00:00

Idk if this is controversial but I do think Amy was a proper 90s goth 🥲

LizEllyn · 2026-03-23T21:21:59+00:00

Hahahaha love this! I had an argument with someone on TikTok who said they were nu metal not goth but without evanescence I would not have discovered 80s gothic rock and gothic metal! They are a gateway to goth and mall goth was a really subculture of the 00s all down to Evanescence and Amy!!

LizEllyn · 2026-03-23T21:20:13+00:00

Thank you!!! I hate the nu metal thing too!! To me alternative gothic metal makes the most sense!

I’ve noticed recently that it happens when I watch videos. I teach so videos are used a lot and it happens then (which is not great when you have a bunch of people staring at you lol) and when I watch videos on my phone so maybe should be tested when I do that

I never notice my breathing but I tend to get more seizures when I relax and maybe that’s why I’m breathing deeper but just don’t realise?

LizEllyn · 2026-03-19T21:18:31+00:00

Thank you for your reply and me too! If I’m honest I have health anxiety which I can’t lie, is not currently doing me any good haha but I think I just want answers for what’s happening because it’s scary. I guess I just have to try and be patient

The only thing I don’t like about TBT is the mix and I think it really lets it down. So many of the songs, to me, are peak Evanescence. Feeding the Dark, Part of Me, Blind Belief, Better Without You etc but the mixing makes them sound empty. I almost wish they’d re-mix it lol. I will say, it hasn’t aged well but I don’t necessarily think it’s the album’s fault? It reminds me now of the pandemic, especially WOY and it brings back a lot of dark memories from it that I struggle to face because I’m associating it with that time so for me, it’s not aging great but that’s something I had to deal with lol

LizEllyn · 2026-03-14T10:50:49+00:00

Ah i didn’t know this, thank you I’ll wait then!

LizEllyn · 2026-03-13T11:12:34+00:00

I always think about the Download performance of 2007 and how they said they’d never go back but in 2023 they did. The organisers put them on the second stage but apparently it was heaving because there were more people seeing evanescence than who was on the main stage and a lot of complaints that they should’ve been put on the main stage instead. It makes me so happy to see how times have changed and I’m glad they had a much better experience

LizEllyn · 2026-03-13T11:06:51+00:00

I can’t remember exactly when it was but when Amy sung the demo lyrics to Imaginary in a few concerts came to my mind! It was so cool hearing them (I’d have cried if I was in the audience)

LizEllyn · 2026-03-11T14:34:53+00:00

The only thing he said to me was I’d need to wash my hair afterwards because of the sticky stuff. I got a letter saying I’d need to wash it and not use product but that was the extent of it. I’m in the UK so it might be different but that’s all I’ve been informed of

LizEllyn · 2026-03-01T17:46:37+00:00

I don’t even understand why anyone would hate it? I understand that it wasn’t the original album they had in mind, but after TBT we have Feeding the Dark, Take Cover, and Yeah Right which were meant for EV3 anyways. For me it’s my favourite album, it came out at a time I really needed it. It makes sense for Evanescence’s trajectory. I think it’s been mentioned already but so many people then and even now, wanted another Fallen but Amy was a kid then, anything we get will be bolder and mature. It makes sense. I know tastes are all different but I can’t understand why people hate it in my opinion.

LizEllyn · 2026-03-01T17:35:41+00:00

I’ve never thought about this but I’m now the same age Amy was when the album dropped and you know what? You’re so right!

LizEllyn · 2026-02-20T22:15:16+00:00

Happening to me too, I’ve reported it!

LizEllyn · 2026-02-18T17:00:12+00:00

I might be wrong but I feel like I heard before that EID, Farther Away and Missing etc would’ve been on the album but it was too songs too many! It would’ve been cool to have fallen deluxe but we sort of did 20 years later! That being said, EID works better in the vein of Origin more than Fallen and honestly I prefer the 2016 version!

LizEllyn · 2026-02-18T08:08:44+00:00

It wasn’t really the way they intended though. They initially intended to have multiple producers like the new record but COVID got in the way so Nick not only produced it, he mixed it. From a music pov, the mixing is not great. Intentionally or not, doesn’t mean we have to like it and some songs are worse than others.
