I have an…odd relationship with this band. That is, I like them, but I’m not sure they’re actually “good.”
 
On the one hand, the musical elements of the band are quite awesome. The instrumentation is solid, Amy Lee’s voice needs no introduction, and they always add a lot of variety to their albums with every new addition.
 
On the other hand, for as much as each album varies, the songs themselves aren’t too distinct; they have their individual charms but are sections of an overall identity for the album as opposed to the song. And the lyrics range from awesomely melodramatic to…just plain silly. One of the demo songs, “Zero”, is particularly cringeworthy, and Hello is little better; they read like something written by a Livejournal roleplayer who draws Danny Phantom as a wolf boy.
 
My upshot is…I dunno. I still find them awesome, lol. Your thoughts?

…well, it doesn’t exactly help that they’re up against the likes of Within Temptation and Nightwish in their own sub-genre; but then again, those are the only three I know of (unless you wanna make a stretch and include Skillet and 403 Forbiddina). Heck, performing music of this particular sub-genre is an achievement in of itself; just before the turn of the millennium, I don’t think anybody could even wrap their head around a fusion of metal and orchestral composition.
 
Also, I could say I have this relationship with alot of bands. (Music never was one of my strong points.)

That song they are known for, Tourniquet, is actually a cover song from christian death metal band no one knows, and the people who ran across it looking for Evanescence are dicks about it, “not being as good as Evanescence.”

Same here: To me, it’s a case of “huh, I wonder whatever happened to them”

I like them. But it is true that I often forget about their songs.
 
I tend to use Nightwish and Within Temptation for that kind of music first.
