The Open Door [10/3] - Evanescence: Confessions of a Formerly Obsessed Fan - Evanescence's The Open Door

Fri, 13 Oct 2006 00:23:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - I recall the first time I ever heard Evanescence. It was an exciting moment for me. This was the first time I had ever had a band I really, truly connected with a band. Amy Lee's soaring vocals, the delicate piano combined with picture-perfect rock...

And The Beat Goes On... Franz Ferdinand's DVD Debut

Mon, 27 Feb 2006 23:15:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - It seems like my favorite band changes every six months or so. First it was Evanescence, then Muse, and now my latest kick is Franz Ferdinand (see a pattern? I have all of their DVD's). We've all heard of those adorable Scots, with...

You Couldn't Have It Much Better Than Franz's New Album

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 19:20:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Generally, I'm not a big fan of the wave of new "retro" bands out there, such as The Killers and company. But in 2004, that adorable Alex Kapranos showed his face on the video for Take Me Out and I was sold. The foot-stomping beat with...

Modest Mouse Dressed To Impress With Their Good News

Thu, 28 Jul 2005 14:29:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - One of the most popular indie bands was finally given the recognition they deserve. Modest Mouse has stayed in the underground scene for more than ten years before Good News For People Who Love Bad News was released. Their unique sound...

An Ocean of Heartbreak, An Ocean of "Umm, Who Cares?"

Sun, 17 Jul 2005 18:32:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - It's no surprise that when music marketers found that tons of teenagers showed some interest in underground bands, that one of them gets brought up to the mainstream. But they've gotta ask themselves, "Who do we want to be tomorrow's next big thing?"...

Cheat On All Your Other Garage Bands and Listen to Franz Ferdinand

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 21:31:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - In the past few years, the number of garage/retro bands has sky-rocketed. Anywhere from The Hives to Interpol, the scene has completely blown up amongst the indie crowd and has even trickled into the mainstream. A lot of these bands were...

"Music For Ugly People!" – Death Cab For Cutie's Transatlanticism

Fri, 8 Jul 2005 16:29:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Ahh, sweet emo: the genre completely dominated by overly whiny vocals and heartbroken lyrics. Okay, maybe not so sweet when you think about it. But these days, this type of music rules seemingly every teenager in America. Since this holds true, the same...

Falling Away With Muse Never Felt So Easy

Fri, 10 Jun 2005 05:53:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Over the years of 1999-2002, Muse certainly made a name for themselves in the UK. Their dramatic and sometimes over-the-top rock operas captivated a large audience in the European countries, but they still remained almost unknown to the US. But...

Start Feeling Good, Muse's Music Has Evolved

Sun, 5 Jun 2005 07:23:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Muse is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands, but many people in the US had never heard of them until mid-2003 when their junior album, Absolution was released. Origin Of Symmetry is my favorite Muse album to date, because of...

Muse Could Be Your New Unintended Favorite

Sun, 5 Jun 2005 03:53:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - It's not often that I find a band that sweeps me off my feet as Muse did. With their version of dramatic Brit-rock, they were huge in the UK for quite some time before they were even heard of in America. Showbiz was the band's debut album,...

Don't Panic, Chevelle Just Might Win You Over with New Thinking

Tue, 10 May 2005 23:00:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Rock has taken some wrong turns these past few years, specifically, mainstream. First, there was Nickelback: lame lyrics, generic guitar riffs, overly-done vocals that made you want to rip your hair out. Then it seemed like every other mainstream rock...

Evanescence, Please Go Home And Make The New Album Already

Mon, 9 May 2005 23:31:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - It's not a rarity anymore that your favorite band, or for that matter, any band on a fair-sized label, to have released a DVD. Evanescence is certainly no exception. The goth rockers hailing from Little Rock certainly have made their way up these...

The Nightingale Band is Still Saving My Day

Sun, 1 Aug 2004 16:53:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - This has been one loser of a summer and the only thing that's gotten me through it is music, particularly this album. It's just amazing. The lyrics are pure genius and the music fits perfectly. This album's been out for just over three years now and it's...

I'm Still Evanescence's Fool

Sat, 24 Jul 2004 16:19:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - So, here we are again with more Evanescence. I was actually surprised when I heard that they were coming out with a new single because Fallen has been out for over a year now and three singles have already been released. I was even more surprised...

Would You Like Me to Rip My Ears Off NOW?! (OSTM W/O)

Thu, 5 Feb 2004 20:57:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - (this review is a contribution to daumco's
One Star's Too Much Write-off. Thank ya very much.) Ohmygod. After listening to this, you poor people will think, "WHAT THE FRICK WERE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?! ARE YOU KIDDING...

My Love Letters to Finch Begin Here

Sun, 28 Dec 2003 23:56:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - It's been way too long since I've written a music review. I suck. I discovered another awesome band for myself. One night, I was watching MTV (yeah, I'm ashamed of myself) and All Things Rock was on. So, then, they showed this video from Finch called...

I Think I've Been Numbed by Bad Singles...

Fri, 31 Oct 2003 16:25:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Ahh. I do love Linkin Park oh so very much. But lately, I think I've just been cursed with these bad singles. Ergh. Along with like fifty million other singles, I bought this at our Sam Goody (which is apparently the God of all single stores in Kansas). P...

Oh Come On, Loefflers!! Can't You Do Better?

Sat, 25 Oct 2003 21:33:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - It's a surprise, isn't it? This is only my second Chevelle review. What has happened to me!? Well, anyway. I was looking through singles at Sam Goody (can't you tell? That's all I've been reviewing lately..) and this single caught my eye. Well, the...

My New Anthem: Never Listen to Good Charlotte Again.

Sat, 25 Oct 2003 02:26:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Okay, I'm in an angry, fitful mood right now, so I wish to bash more Good Charlotte crap. And another that my dear friend Samantha lended to me (*cringe*). How does she listen to this and like it? I mean, she treats it like was a freaking solid pie...

Now, Girls and Boys, We Know Never to Listen to Good Charlotte...

Wed, 15 Oct 2003 20:05:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Well. Good Charlotte has come a long way since they released their sophomore album, The Young and the Hopeless. I couldn't agree more with that title. So, one day, my best friend, Samantha, comes up to me and asks me to listen to this single...

I Love You, Chuck.

Sun, 12 Oct 2003 17:45:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Ahhh. Yeah, I think I'm one of the very few people who'd never heard of Converse Chuck Taylor's prior to a few months ago. My dad even wore them when he was a kid. I had to get some new shoes for school, because I wear out shoes very easily. So, I...

Could I Be Any Angrier With Adam Sandler? Goosfraba!!

Sat, 27 Sep 2003 00:12:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Yeah. I finally gave in. My mom rented this movie for us the other night. Can I just ask you a question, Adam? Can you possibly make a movie ANY more retarded than this!? I normally like stupid movies like this, but this is where I have to draw the...

Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm: It's as Sweet as Honey.

Thu, 18 Sep 2003 22:44:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Yes. I love Burt's Bees products. They're my new beauty obsession. Well, actually, their pretty much my only beauty obsession at the moment. This product is called Burt's Beeswax Lifeguard's Choice Weatherproofing Lip Balm. Kind of lo...

Yeah. More Obsessiveness and Stuff. I'm Drowning in Evanescence.

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 22:13:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Hey, I warned you didn't I? More writings and stuff about Evanescence. One more review after this about this band and I'll have no more to write about them until they come out with some new material. (come on! hurry and write songs faster, Amy!) An...

Evanescence, You Bring Me to Life... (again)

Sun, 14 Sep 2003 15:58:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chaseatwister2 - Yeah. Some more obsession with Evanescence. But really... Are you surprised? I went to our local Sam Goody and picked up a few singles (two of which are Evanescence). Out of all of them, this one was probably the most costly at $11. But this one includes...
