A band that I used to be obsessed with, now I think they're so-so.
On the music: The music on the first album (Fallen) has this "help me I'm dying" theme, which gets annoying really fast, and the songs all sound exactly the same. The second album (The Open Door) is a bit better, but it's not as drastically different as Amy Lee keeps saying it is (except maybe for Good Enough). The instrumental arangements are much better than in the 1st album, especially in Lacrymosa and Your Star, so the songs are mostly distinguishable. The lyrics, although they're a bit less depressing, are still really corny. Good Enough, which is apparently the most controversial song among Ev fans, doesn't fit with the album or the band at all. They're a rock band--so if they were gonna write a happy song, they could've at least written a happy rock-sounding song instead of a cheesy ballad. Despite all that, though, Amy Lee does have an amazing voice. It's not whiney or shrieky or too high--people who say that don't know what real singing sounds like. They sound really good live, compared to most bands. Obviously Amy's voice doesn't sound as good on stage as it does on the album, because in the studio she doesn't jump around while she's singing, and she probably do one song after another. Also, her voice on the album has to be edited at least a little bit.
On the band: Evanescence isn't really a band anymore--it seems more like it's just Amy Lee plus some guys in the background. Amy acts like she's the only person who really works in the band and everyone else just helps. That's sad, because the other guys actually are pretty important. Amy only sings and plays piano, she doesn't play guitars or bass or drums. She also doesn't write most of the songs by herself (Terry Balsamo, one of the guitarists, is her writing partner), but in interviews she talks about how "I wrote this song," when she probably wouldn't have been able to come up with the song on her own. Yes, she does write some of the music on her own (lithium, good enough, like you), but those are some of the weakest songs they have, compared to the ones they write together.
The drama in the band is definitely starting to get annoying. I could understand the thing with Ben Moody. But Amy firing John LeCompt and Rocky Gray leaving was just too much. Amy fired John only because he didn't feel exactly the same way about the band as she did. That's just pathetic. John was a great contribution to the band and Amy should've been grateful that she had him, instead of being a little diva.

Get the Evanescence mug.Neon Genesis Evangelion is the most controversial anime series ever, in that one either loves it or hates it.
Those who hate it cite the horrible, shallow, shrill-voiced and inexplicably-motivated characters, the endless banter of sci-fi "who cares, it's made up" technojargon, and the slow-and-go trafficjam pacing.
A typical episode has this ratio: 60 seconds of MECHA BATTLE THRILLING EXPLOSIONS MISSLE LAUNCH HUGE DETAILED SMOKE CLOUDS IN DEVASTAING DETAIL!... encased by 21 minutes of camera panning over stillframe or two-cel animation that makes Speed Racer look sophisticated.
Fans often cite the show's "religious" references as evidence of the depth of the story, because nothing's more relevent and just-plain-cool than gnostic and Jewish mysticism. Why, just last Sunday, Reverend Hushpuppy used the parable of the prodigal Shinji and his father in the sermon.
Of course, I'm kidding - Shinji is a whiny little bitch, and any boy/man who empathizes with his character doesn't deserve the endowments of the gender.
It's said over and over that Neon Genesis Evangelion is the highest rated anime series ever. Maybe they watch the subbed and not the dubbed version - which features the most hamfisted acting voice talent imaginable - so that the subtitles are where the REAL story is. Maybe when they gush about the animation quality, they were just confused and actually thinking about another show playing somewhere very far away.
So, forget the depth and relevence of "Paranoia Agent," or the animation quality of the "Ghost in the Shell" spinoffs, or the humor of "Azumanga Daiyoh," or the driving storyline of "Cowboy Bebop" - apparently Eva has it all, plus lots of Rule 34 hentai to support it. So if you watch Eva, and you're thinking the emperor just isn't wearing any clothes here, YOU'RE the idiot and there's something wrong with YOU.

Modern day nazi's. They brainwash there followers using group hysteria, which Hitler used. They try to convert everything that moves by forcing people to beleive what they think. They consider themselves an army of god, ready to fight for his bidding.
They are also hypocrite's. E.G. Ted haggard , who is one of the pastor's at a mega church i colorado, paid a male prostitute to butt fuck him after condeming gays and homosexual activity. He asked forgiveness and was forgiven and "cured", but if any one else who wasnt evangelical did that they would not be forgiven ( like Bill Clinton).

Get the Facebook Evangelist mug.Every decade or so, a new voice emerges that is transcendent, timeless. For this new decade, one of those voices will no doubt be that of Ebony Evans. With her high-powered, yet sweet, soulful style, the Harlem , Georgia native had already achieved feats that are reserved for most young singers’ dreams. Coming from a rich heritage of music , Ebony Evans was introduced to the world by the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, and signed to his label at the age of 12 in 1992. Beginning with the former national talent show, Star Search, Ebony Evans nabbed a much-deserved perfect 4 star rating for her unforgettable performance of Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" at the age of 14. In 1999, she was a featured soloist on the Grammy nominated Georgia Mass Choir album: Georgia Mass Choir Present Youth for Christ: "Higher".
For her sophomore album "You Did It All" Ebony and legendary Philadelphia producer Manny Campbell went in to create album that built on that brand and sound. With over 50 years in the business producing classic soul and jazz music for artist such as ,The Rotations, Nu-Rons, Tearra, Teeah Louise , Joe Chambers, Tomorrows Wish and others. The blending of original 'Philly Soul' sounds and feel with a fresh young voice would prove to be classic.
