The Open Door, is more personal and, by accessing a deeper emotional palette, maybe even more universal.
-
Evanescence fans can rest easy knowing The Open Door handily re-creates the sonic storm of the debut.
-
Denser and more scuzzed-up than Fallen, the album amps everything up to gloriously epic, over-the-top proportions. [Oct 2006, p.129]
-
Sonically, it captures the Evanescence mythos better and more consistently than the first album... but without the songs, it doesn't resonate.
-
Fans will be thrilled to know that, despite the replacement of main guitarist and co-songwriter Ben Moody, Evanescence's sophomore album is at least as unsubtle as its predecessor.
-
Many of these theatrical, midtempo songs run together.
-
The Open Door is an exercise in how not to make a sophomore album (or any album for that matter).

AdrianSDec 5, 2009I think this album is Amazing, Amy and the band did a great job. The vocals are as outstanding as Fallen's and even more powerful. Buy It!

BrianLMar 27, 2007Amy Lee is probably the best and most powerful singer in the history of rock and roll. The Open Door is even better than Fallen which was also a 10.
