Not bad - some great instrumental stuff, and it's great hearing the band's interpretation of the song. Amy definitely seems to be going for a rawer sound with her vocals these days, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Keeping everything crossed for the new album! I noticed this! There are a couple parts in the song where Amy didn't seem at her best, in my opinion. I've heard her sing those notes and similar phrasing with more precision and control in the past. It's really noticeable on the three note descent in "lies" and "light" in the verses, and the sudden belted "chain" at 2:24 isn't blended well with her other vocals if that makes sense? Like, it sounds cut and pasted in there and not smoothly. That being said, I'm really loving the sound as a whole! It feels so much more like the REAL Evanescence than EV3 sounded in my opinion. All the elements that make this my favorite band are there. It's so good!!

The “Run in the shadows” is definitely Will (sounds most like him from different videos of him whispering and talking - plus, confirmed by Dani). I didn’t really listen to Seether when Troy was in there so I don’t have a reference as to his voice except what we heard from Ev IG stories when he and Amy were singing “Chain, keep us together!”. I didn’t listen to InZENity, so I’m going to do that but you can definitely hear a “TOGETHER!” In there and I’m pretty sure that’s her. Tim is the only one where we do not have any reference to... right? I can’t remember what other bands he was in and what his roles were in those bands. I think Tim harmonizes with Troy on the “Chain, keep us together!” Though.

I'm SO amazed by this new cover! Wow! The whole band's on fire! Amy's voice and Will's drumming are breathtaking! It just makes waiting for the new album harder and harder. *Goes to listen again*

Didn't realise everyone was in on it! I only saw that one pic of Troy and I assumed Jen because she does a lot of backing now.

I wish someone could lower Amy's voicals so that we can hear clearly the guys voices in the background!

Listening to the advert and this song side-to-side and there's some really distinct differences. This one is much heavier and it kinda drowns out Amy's vocals.
Do you think the original advert was just an Amy Lee project and then they rerecorded it?

mattthomas1992 I think so. The whole atmosphere is just different somehow. And the way the band's been describing it on social media is that they'd done something specifically for Gears 5 and then decided to turn it into a proper band project. I feel like this one has been a bit of a slow-burner in comparison with other Ev releases, but my dad just came up the stairs (he's not even remotely interested in Ev, but likes classic rock) and asked "did you know your favourite band had covered The Chain?" and he said he really liked it so I feel like it may be introducing/reintroducing Ev to people who would not normally seek out Ev's music - which is definitely a good thing.

Sometimes songs used in adverts get tweaked by people creating the adverts. Happens a lot with movie trailers.

I remember of this story about Eminem. He had sent to the producers of Southpaw a little snippet of a song he was still working on. They put it in the trailer for the movie (without asking him) so he had to finish the song lol

I am soooo loving the unity this cover makes me feel. The inclusion of the whole band in this song really makes me feel like the band is closer together than ever and nothing can break them apart. This cover couldn't have been more perfect.

Ok guys, I have been off from school and have been able to start working on the lyrics to The Chain again and go more in depth. I keep hearing new things on every listen and it's amazing. I just wish the mixing quality was better (mixing/mastering was done horribly - I can't even determine the differences when listening on my surround sound system - but I am going to try with my new headphones).

The more I listen to this, the more I'm going off it. I wish it was mixed/mastered better.
