The last five years have suddenly flown by now that Amy Lee–and her latest incarnation of Evanescence–is back with a new album called, appropriately enough, Evanescence. The title suggests this is the real Evanescence, at least until someone leaves again, but the only part I really care about is that the album definitely does not suck. Of course this is another definitive Evanescence album, which is sort of like saying, “U2 must be stuck in a moment they can’t get out of, and it happens to be their latest album,” but that’s not a bad thing. Either the last five years have helped the wondrous Amy Lee recharge (yep, I’ve still got that crush), or, like a lot of other people have already said, she’s just made her sound work once again on an album with only a bit of filler.
