JoeCOct 4, 2006I can't believe what these critics are saying, they must have been just skipping the songs because their in a rush or something. This is my favorite album of the year. WOW! You just can't count on critics anymore.

AmandaGFeb 5, 2007I don't care what anyone says about this album! I believe it to be an absolutely gorgeous triumph over the previous Fallen. The spooky vibes are enough to chill you to the bone and it tells all that life ain't so pretty, but it still can be a masterpiece.

KatieWApr 15, 2007Really great CD. Amy has a great voice range and most of the songs showcase her singing. I'm glad to hear more piano along with a harder guitar sound.

KelvinH.Dec 25, 2007"The Open Door" sold more than 1,000,000 in four weeks only in US and was classified as the "Album of the Year" by the MTV Australia Music Video. This tells everything we need to know. The album is so mature, so stronger, just perfect! Amy has grown a lot.

MelissaOct 27, 2007Wow, what a great album. There are only a few albums that contain all great songs, and The Open Door has joined that elite club for me. I can listen to it from start to finish, and truly enjoy all of it.

Awards & Rankings

Denser and more scuzzed-up than Fallen, the album amps everything up to gloriously epic, over-the-top proportions. [Oct 2006, p.129]
-
Those who embraced "Fallen" will doubtlessly fall even harder into "The Open Door."
-
Many of these theatrical, midtempo songs run together.
