UnderStanding - Evanescence:
This song uses an Acoustic Guitar and it really shows off Lee's voice. It really is Very Beautiful, it starts off slowly and by the end it has Built up into a Faster Pace which adds Drama to the song. You can hear the Passion in Lee's voice and the abrupt ending Finishes the song off nicely.

Give Unto Me - Evanescence:
a Piano Backing Coupled with that Familiar Angel-like voice makes this song Incredibly Beautiful. She sings with Real Conviction. the Sparse Instrumentation Really does this song Justice. i love the bit when she sings 'Save you, I'll Save you'. At the end of the song The piano does a solo and the pace quickens slightly. Shame not many people know about this song, really would of made an amazing single.

Tourniquet - Evanescence:
This song Covers the Controversial topic of Suicide. the Start which sounds like a Helicopter lol adds tension before the song erupts into the Guitar then comes Lee's pain Fulled Vocal singing. The Desperation is just so apt for this song. Her calling to God in the Chorus is Just lyrical Genius. The instrumentation Build up in the middle of the song really adds drama before she screams i wantttt to dieeeee! Awesome! LOL. The Guitars Lead the song out. The Violin at the end is great!

Lose Control - Evanescence:
Woo! The Piano in this song which is the opener gives the song a rather creepy feel to it. Then in comes Lee sounding crazy and tortured then it Erupts into some Heavy Guitars and she soulfully screams out Adding Drama to this particular piece. Then the song goes much quieter and then Lee starts singing Before...........
The Immense scream/singing part comes into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mindblowing Vocals From Lee here.

All That Im Living For - Evanescence:
Starts off with the Guitars and Her singing then the Verses start and her angelic voice comes into play. The Chorus is really immense in this song! 'All that im Living for, all that Im dying for, all that i cant ignore alone at night etc'. she really screams it out. I really like the Bridge in this song.

Lies - Evanescence:
starts off with Lee's Operatic vocals then this leads up to the Heavy Guitar which Just explodes! This is quite a Dark song. just what i like hehe. Male vocals are present in this song. then in come them amazing soprano vocals from Lee again. Very Soaring. and some Fierce Male Metal Growls.

What Ive Done - Linkin Park:
Yes i admit i i do like this song lol. starts off with the Guitars which lead up to the Lead singers Vocals. i really love the chorus in this song! and the Lyrics are pretty Thoughtful. Yes it is quite a basic song but still quite Enjoyable.

My Hero - Paramore:
i do believe that this is a Foo Fighters Cover. a lovely acoustic Guitar track which is rather sweet lol and nice to song along too. Really does make me think of Superman lol. This song really suits Hayleys Voice.

How Soon is Now - Tatu

Indigo - a Gentle little Opener to the album, The start of an Epic Journey into the world of Epica.
With Beautiful Operatic Chants that show off the true amazingness of this Fucking awesome band!

the Obsessive Devotion - The into to this song just blows the listener away, amazing to Headbang to as i know from Experience. Then in comes the lead singer giving it all her passion and anger. an extremley Powerful verse. The Choir chanting in the background and the Metal Roars and her voice make for an interesting and pretty mind-blowing mixture. I LOVE THE VERSES IN THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the Talking part near the end and that Fucking awesome Guitar part!!!!

Menace of Vanity: The Operatic use of vocals in this song is Just Literally fucking immense!
The Defiant chant really shows the listeners exactly what it is made of! and that Brilliant Riff which pops up throughout wooooot!

Chasing the Dragon: a simple yet Intriguing title, this song is just very Beautiful it shows off her voice to pure perfection. the simple instrumentation sends the Listener on a Journey of pure bliss. towards the end the song gains more of an uptempo feel to it and the metal growls come into it.

Never Enough: the start of this song has a very Evanescence/Within Temptation feel to it (the verse) its fucking sexy! the Riff is Awesome! has a dark feel to it which is just great! was a single and no Surprise really personally one of my faves! the verses are my fave!!! The chorus is very good as well. The ending just soars Epically and Beautifully.

La'petach Chatat Rovetz (the Final Embrace): a short kinda Interlude part of the album.

Death of a Dream: Dramatic Opening!!! Very fast and Extremley Operatic. Could imagine this in a Battle scene in an Epic Movie. The soaring vocals and then the Pounding Guitar step into the picture, then come them Familiar heavy Metal Roars. a mixture of Her vocals, the Metal roars and the Operatic chanting, and of course not forgetting that sexylicious Guitar!!

Living a Lie: I like the opening to this song! A choir intro followed by some Instumentation. Quite a dark song with the main focus on his Metal Roar and her Beautiful voice.

Fools of Damnation: Oh yes!!!!!! the one that at the gig she said to shake our hips to lol. it does have that feel to it. they team this Hypnotic tune with her Lovely Vocals. starts off quite relaxed then jumps into a more up-tempo frantic feel. The metal Roars come into the song then! i just love the instrumentation in this song! Towards the end it gets very manic and heavy.

Beyond Belief: a Great opening! Epic and Dramatic just the way we like it. then some Operatic chanting then some Lovely singing. alot of focus on her voice in this song.

Safeguard to Paradise: Piano as the Opening, then the voice of an angel comes into the picture. Its the slowest one on the album and its very very beautiful.

Sancta Terra: oooh love the opening to this song and when the singing starts and the Fucking awesome guitar comes into it and omg i love the verses in this song!!!! One of my faves on the album. Its teamed with Drama and amazing Instrumentation....

The Divine Conspiracy: the longest one on the amazing album and the last one. The Epic start is just great. Builds up tension. an amzing mix of her vocals, the metal roar, the Choir and immense immense Music!!!!

Overall: If you love Metal especially if you love Epic songs and Female Frontwoman groups Buy this album!! for i can assure you, you will be absolutely Blown away with the sheer awesomeness of it all...

God knows how i went so long without l
