So I've listened to the album. My favorite song is Can't Stop What's Coming.
I think it functions wonderfully as a film score, HOWEVER, I do think the album would have benefitted best from having Can't Stop What's Coming be longer, and Amy herself singing more than background vocals on Dark Waters. The Arabic could be learned phonetically for just that song. I'd have loved her voice on it doing those melisma runs and haunting chants instead of a feature.

Does Amy know about the existence of this site? Didn't the Evanescence Twitter account once tweeted a link to this forum?

I think it functions wonderfully as a film score, HOWEVER, I do think the album would have benefitted best from having Can't Stop What's Coming be longer, and Amy herself singing more than background vocals on Dark Waters. The Arabic could be learned phonetically for just that song. I'd have loved her voice on it doing those melisma runs and haunting chants instead of a feature. I like that Dark Water is that authentic, though I think Amy could imitate that sound it's way more natural for a singer who belongs to that cultural sound to sing that way. It makes it real instead of being an imitation. I think it's great that Amy would step aside and let someone else take the "main role" for the sake of the music and the authenticity of the piece. But I find there are moments in the background where I can't tell who's singing. There are points when I can definitely pinpoint "that's Amy!" but sometimes the voices merge together a little. So I'd have like little moments where Amy could shine a little more too. Can't Stop What's Coming is beautiful, I wish it was longer too! She could release a whole album of songs like that and I'd be in love.

rionka Thanks! And I know what you mean about needing more time though (even though I did manage to review Aftermath relatively quickly). I feel like I have to be really familiar with a song before I can talk about it, and some songs take a longer amount of time to grow on me.

Has anyone seen Aftermath's/Amy Lee's page on iTunes yet? Yes, I already saw it about 5 days ago. It's really pretty, though that pic is very old.

Some of the tracks give me a bit of an X-files vibe.
