5.0 out of 5 stars So afraid to open your eyes Oct 7 2006
Format:Audio CD
This isn't Fallen; there it's been said, it's over with. It's remarkable how the two most frequent comments I hear about The Open Door is that 'it sounds the same as everything else' and 'it's not as good as their other album'. Well that doesn't make any sense, if it sounds the same then it should be just as good; but the fact of the matter is that it does not sound the same. You have Amy Lee's voice, true, but I don't perceive that as a bad thing at all. The haunting gothic sound to Evanescence is enhanced in The Open Door, not only through the lyrics, but through the music and even the album art as well.

This album is beautiful in itself, a complete masterpiece. If you want mainstream rock listen to Fallen by all means; it too was a great album, but the style of The Open Door completely deviates from that and opens into a style all its own. It's easy to fall in love with the tracks on this piece if you can accept them for what they are without attempting to mold them to fit Evanescence's older material.

Interestingly enough, I'm still not a terrible fan of the first single 'Call Me When You're Sober' ... it's got Amy Lee's voice, but not the soul that normally goes into the lyrics. This was mended for me by tracks like Sweet Sacrifice, Lithium, and Lacrymosa; beautifully composed and well thought out. And regardless of anything else that can be said of the album, it definitely has a haunting quality. For me this was punctuated and accentuated by the track entitled 'The Only One'; a masterfully compiled piece that sent chills down my spine. My favorite track, 'All That I'm Living For' is beautiful beyond words and I find that you can only appreciate it by listening to it; attempting to confine it to the written word just doesn't do it justice.

And the whole album is like that in a sense. There is no right or wrong way to listen to music, but I think that objectivity is needed when listening to The Open Door. Fallen received such high acclaim that it's practically impossible to best it, so Evanescence did something incredibly smart - they diversified. Instead of attempting to beat their old work, they blazed a new trail for themselves. Fans can stay behind if they like but I would strongly encourage them to follow; The Open Door is full of promises and if you listen closely, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Big Let Down Oct 4 2006
By Chris
Format:Audio CD
I was pretty disappointed overall with this album. However, when your first album was as successful as their fist one was, it's pretty hard to top that. I wasn't crazy about the first single "call me when your sober" but after listening to the entire album, it's unfortunatly one of the best songs. Maybe after a few more listens I will get to like the album more but for now, I don't recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great artist, great CD. Jan 3 2012
Format:Audio CD
I was gifted this a few years back by a friend of mine, and I still listen to it. Amy Lee has a really nice voice, and she has some great music. If you like Evanescence, I would certainly recommend this!

And as a side note, the case for the CD is also really gorgeous. I especially like the picture on the front.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Open Door CD
I absolutely love, love, love this CD. There is not a bad song on it. My only regret is that I didn't discover Evanescence until after the band broke up. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great "AMY LEE" album!
Again, not being an overly big fan of female "rock" singers,Amy Lee and the rest of the group have done another "great" job at produceing another A+ album/CD! Well done guys!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing album from another amazing band!
I believe the first four tracks are all singles, just as on the first album, but that does not take anything away from the rest of the album. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars ......needed Ben Moody
This CD is nowhere near as strong as the previous. This was a key album for Evanescence's career and it was was a pretty weak effort lyrically and musically. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best C.D of 2006
Overall, 'The Open Door' is so much better than older Evanescence. The lyrics are so much more personal, and a bit less angry. Read more
