Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Maybe Amy Lee and whoever is in Evanescence now have pioneered the musical equivalent of a movie franchise, churning out sequels until people realize they’re making the same movie over and over again. Maybe the reason “The Open Door” sounds almost exactly like the band’s debut “Fallen” is part of a master plan. Maybe it will all end in mall stores that market Lee’s brand of “goth” to suburban teens who want to rebel but don’t know any better. Maybe the dramatics of “Lacrymosa” and piano ballad “Your Star” will be seen as so-bad-they’re-good. Then again, maybe not.
