Music reviews of EVANESCENCE "Origin" CD by BIGWIG, 11 tracks
Music Review: Wonderful.
Rating: 5 Stars
I'm not interested in buying from here, since I bought Origin from BigWig's site for $15 before Bring Me to Life hit the radios and Evanescence made it big time... but I can say, that yes, if you think you have an original rewind before the first track, and somewhere around -37 seconds there should be an outtake of Anywhere if it's real (this only works in a CD player for me... my computer refuses to do it). If it's not there, then I'm afraid you have a copy.
As for the CD, I honestly enjoy it better than Fallen. The songs have less of an overpolished sound to them, and several of my favorites from this CD didn't even make it onto the major label release.
Track by track...
0 (or before 1). Anywhere outtake - Just a little clip of Anywhere which fades into a horrid voice-cracking solo by the guy singer, who then says "You're not saving that." It's just there for the humor aspect.
1. Origin - This is pretty much just an intro to Whisper... it's short but fits nice when listened to directly before Whisper. It features two quotes from some obscure horror film ("You hold the answer deep within your own mind" "Death in its most hideous form").
2. Whisper - Even without the intro, it's great. I adore the opening guitars and then Amy's haunting voice coming in. It's a great song.
3. Imaginary - It starts off simply with Amy's piano and singing, then the band joins in for the chorus. The lyrics are very dreamlike, and sound like a world you'd enjoy as a child, but it has a bitter edge to it, almost lamenting that childhood and dreams have passed by.
4. My Immortal - This song is very simple, and very melancholic, but in a beautiful way. I love it.
5. Where Will You Go - I've always loved the weird beginning to this song. This song rather reminds me of the group Plumb.
6. Field of Innocence - Easily my least favorite song on the album. It's still a fair song, but it borders on whiney at times, and I can't really listen to it over and over without growing sick of it.
7. Even in Death - From my least favorite to one of my two favorites from the album. I love this song... it's so very dark and haunting, yet it's still a love story. Loving someone beyond the grave... creepy. ;)
8. Anywhere - This has one of the most beautiful guitar solos, and it happens to be my other favorite from the CD. It's quite similar to the song "Before the Dawn" (an unreleased demo), and it's a pretty song about two people running away together.
9. Lies - This starts out almost operatic, then morphs into a rock song, with parts that border on hard rock or whatever the screamy type rock is. Generally that's not my thing, but I think it works well in this song.
10. Away From Me - The thing I enjoy most about this song is the background piano, it's excellent. Overall it's a good song, but it's not one of my favorites.
11. Eternal - This song is completely instrumental. It starts out sounding almost techno, then goes to a thunderstorm for a moment, and then to some truly beautiful piano playing which fades into rain sounds (and then "Demise," -which isn't listed- is after the piano... it's just basically a short instrumental clip and nothing spectacular).
Overall, a CD on which I "like" all 11 tracks, and love 10 of them is quite rare to find these days. While at one point I could have sold my CD for around $300 on eBay, I just couldn't force myself to part with it. It remains one of my favorite discs in my collection, and I highly recommend you buy it (though, try not to get a ripped off copy, as they don't support the band, and are actually more illegal than downloading it would be).
