Old Dec 17th, 2003, 11:22 AM        Evanescence backlash arrives sooner than expected
I don't really feel one way or another about Evanescence, but I thought this was pretty funny. Especially the reference to the god-awful shit band Crazy Town.

From The Onion AV Club:

THE CRAZY TOWN MEMORIAL WHAT-WERE-WE-THINKING-WHEN-WE-MADE-THIS-A-HIT? PRIZE

Evanescence
Never mind that its members backpedaled on their Christian faith. The most offensive aspect of Evanescence is Evanescence itself—a calculated mix of sweet-sounding female vocals, nü-metal crunch, and a gruff shouty-guy who made the band sound like an evil version of The B-52's. At last report, the shouty-guy had unexpectedly exited Evanescence's European tour, perhaps never to return. Stay far, far away, shouty-guy.

I'm pretty sure that guy was half of their songwriting talent, too. Don't expect Evanescence to be around much longer, unless the chick goes pop star.

And I don't know why their instrumentation makes them a shitty band. I'm a big fan of their first album, especially the instrumental track (forget the name...); I haven't heard any of the more recent song.

Never knew they were good Christians, either. Hm.

They started out a christian band and then backed out of it. The problem was the christian rock fans would not let them forget what they said when they were like 15. Their album is actually pretty decent music when they did not have that retard rapping. But fuck, the crazy town refereance is great in itself. God i hate crazty town.

They said they were mistaken for Christian music because of some of the lyrics.\

Still, the members of Living sacrifice will wear their shirts.

i dont know what they sound like, but isnt the fact that purported "good" bands inevitably get backlash after a time... eveyone gets excited because they "discovered" them, then people know it, then people feel the need to hate them for it. if you dont like radiohead, sigur ros, or GYBE, fine, but gimme one reason for HATING it apart from bitching about the fans.

seriously

I think you're right, Perndog. Damn shame, because I really loved their first album...but without that guy writing the songs I have a feeling their next album will be crap.

The crappy rapping guy was a guest, yes. But the guy who left the group, Ben Moody, was their lead guitar player and at LEAST half the songwriting talent if not the vast majority of it.

I love how I'm Mr. Craptastes when I'm the only other person on the boards that listens to the Rentals. You're a fucking tool.

Maybe the chick will write the songs now. And they'd all be a capella and she'd take her clothes off while she's singing them.

Maybe growly-guy's departure is a good thing.

I love how you think that just because we like a few bands in common suddenly means that you have awesome taste even though you clearly like a lot of things that suck. You're a fucking poopyface.

calling people poopyface is better than calling people a tool

you sound like a fucking dumbass who's got his chin too far up without knowing why or any particular reason when you do.

it's retarded. even if you think they have ass for taste, it sounds like an avril lavigne word.

Actually, it is your tastes that smoke the dick. Evansence sucks ass, and so do most of the fucking bands you like. Neutral Milk Hotel? Fuck that shit.

What's wrong with Neutral Milk Hotel? They're not a great band, but they're capable of writing a good song.

Indeed, if Pitchfork kisses their ass, I thought Tennenbam would be felating them.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is a good album for the record.

Also I think Evanessence's situation is a bit different (understatement) than GYBE or Sigur Ros. Not liking either of the latter bands on the basis of popularity is pure snobbery of the worst kind, but when a band you like appears on a NOW disc you know something must be wrong. Also they're a gimmick band (Linkin Park with female singer = gimmick) who sucks.

Comparing Sigur Ros to Evanesence is like comparing a gold brick to a pile of dog shit. Evanesence is a female Linkin Park with a bit of Tori Amos thrown in, making it one of the few instances of 'two strikes and you're out.'

I am amazed by the more respectable users of the boards's love of Evanesence. They're such a steaming pile of crap, it's absurd. They're music has little to no redeeming value, and I'll stick with the latter on that one.
