You said it!!! I mean I just never understand the fans that bitch about how Ev is not the same as it was from Fallen. Look, that is never gonna happen again. You can't expect Amy to be in this box forever. She is getting older and has always been an evolving artist. She wants to spread her wings, and explore new parts of herself. I love being able to be apart of it. Not to mention the fact that this is a free cover... yes, a FREE cover that I had to pay a whopping $0.00 to enjoy. Plus without waiting an endless amount of time because she totally surprised us with it. OFF TOPIC: De! What show is your avatar from? I love it every time I scroll past ON TOPIC: I really do need a HQ sound version. Something is always lost in the Youtube translation. Here's to hoping it's released on Spotify or iTunes or something, though I doubt we'll get anything until all of the covers are released - similar to how Halestorm does their reAnimate EPs.

I have to agree with you. Everyone is entitled to try something new. Look at Linkin Park for example. Other bands have done it too. Hell, Trivium has released a song...with ZERO screaming in the vocals. Ummm... yeah. Exactly. Artists try new things all the time, which pushes some fans away and attracts new ones. We'll always see reactions like "OMG! The vocalist stopped screaming. Let's crucify him." or "This doesn't sound like albums X and Y. You betrayed your fandom. I hate you." I find this immature and unnecessary because we can't expect from an artist to be stuck forever in a very narrow style niche that made him/her successful. Art has to evolve or it becomes boring. Trying something completely different is a risk, but a risk that has to be taken. Sure, I don't like Linkin Park's latest album and I'm definitely not a fan of this cover but I respect their desire to show what else they are capable of. I know there's more to come and in the meantime I might just listen to another band half of whose fans are still in shock from the melodic turn in their former idols' music. To reiterate on what Marina said, artists are human beings too. Human beings grow and change as life evolves in its typically fluid fashion. We are more than just gray matter wandering the earth. To have impossible expectations from Amy or any artist is not only impractical, but extremely hurtful and damaging. We might gush over her and say everything she does is perfect and adorable on occasion, but she's also just...Amy, mother, wife, owner of cats and a love for variety in her life that extends far past Evanescence. Over my own years since sneaking into the fandom gradually, I have grown myself and learned what it really meant to be a fan of an artist, particularly one of the caliber Amy is. I don't have to like everything she does. But I also don't have to be an immature brat about it, either. It's a fine balance that I think a lot of people should learn from.

Oh, and I forgot to mention my absolute favourite aspect of the cover - Amy's use of her bottom register. I think I've said it before in another thread, but as much as I loved Ev3, she really belted for pretty much the entire record, and almost always at the topmost reaches of her voice. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great and dramatic, but I start to get 'belting fatigue' after a while.
I've always loved the variety of the vocal parts on The Open Door for example - the slightly menacing quality of the verses in Snow White Queen or deep, intense verses in The Only One...The Secret Door was a prime example for me of a song from Ev3 that I thought would've benefitted from being a couple of keys down to add greater variety to the album. Plus, I reckon that constantly belting at the top end of her voice is what gives Amy so many of the problems she seems to experience after she's been on tour for a while.
The husky, bottom notes of this cover are absolutely magnificent, and the song really shows variety and breadth of emotion. Fingers crossed it's a sign of things to come.

The site looks like they installed WordPress but they are linking the social networks to a band called Saint Asonia.

I mean it looked as though it was all incomplete like a bad admin but I saw social media links on the top right. According to my mobile now it's different and i dont see links anymore. I'll check tomorrow.

looks like she's listening to you Osky What is that? Looks like it's still in the middle of being remodeled, there's no videos or pictures in their own sections. Although it looks like there is a thing where you can comment on things she posts assuming she's the one who made the "Hello World!" post. Interesting.

^it's a new icon. it appears in my browser tab whenever I open the website instead of this: it looks like a big "L" with an "A" on it. and the whole thing is like a legendary creature with wings holding a spear in hands to me. like the ones in old European coat of arms.
