First of all, I like how they have a "heavier" sound than most alternative rock bands. With most other bands in this genre, they're usually very upbeat with a few slow songs in their album, and that's it. I like how Evanescence is different and has a mixture of melodies, from strong and loud, to dark, to sad, but never really has a "happy" sound to it. (Do not get me started on how much I loathe happy and/or upbeat songs.) Secondly, I pag-ibig the lyrics. Instead of the normal routine pag-ibig songs, break up songs, and most commonly found in today's mainstream music, songs about sex, Evanescence digs deeper and sings about a lot of real, darker issues, like death and abuse. (Some examples are "The Last Song I'm Wasting On You" and "Like You".) I'm not saying musicians don't sing about things like that, but Evanescence kind of puts those issues in the limelight whenver they make a new song. And if they don't, then the lyrics are so beautiful I don't even care. Also, I find darker types of songs refreshing, because quite frankly I hate shying away to dark subjects - I pag-ibig them, actually - and hate traditional break-up or make-up songs normally found on the radio. Thirdly, Amy's voice is amazing. It's strong, low, dark and soothing. Her voice can easily mimic the darker issues of her songs, but it's also great for sweet (and not-so-sweet) piano ballads. Lastly, I am obsessed with their look. I pag-ibig how they're not like other artists and wear to concerts and photoshoots with something they just threw on. They like to have a darker look, which I think matches perfectly with their lyrics. I also pag-ibig how Amy Lee doesn't ipakita off her body like most other female music artists today, and I pag-ibig how she's so proud of that. I am also a huge tagahanga of female artists performing in creepy or out-of-date dresses (don't ask me why, I just do!). So, all in all, I pag-ibig that Evanescence is heavy and dark, yet modest all at the same time. To me, in a sense, Evanescence is perfect. ♥ (I apologize if the picture isn't "current" - as in, not all the band members in the picture are still part of the band. I was under the impression this picture was fairly current, so I'm just going to post it and hope for the best. XD)
