"I was a very casual Evanescence fan prior to this release. This album blew me away. This is a real band effort.

"some songs could've been a little better, yet other songs like a beautiful exit and coffee (glad he kept the version without wales on the album) are some of the best R&B songs i've ever heard"  Reply
