Evanescence – The Bitter Truth – Album Review
Evanescence are an interesting entity. Officially a group for over 25 years but with only three all original studio albums if we donāt include 2017ās āSynthesisā. Amy Lee remains the only original member, and only member to survive from 2003ās breakthrough debut album āFallenā.
It canāt be argued that the band are not absolutely huge despite this lack of new material. In fact, you are left to wonder what a more prolific band could have achieved. Now in 2021, the band are back with their first all new studio album since their self-titled 2011 release.
What should we expect from the band? Can they produce anything as good as their early albums? Well, itās evident from very early on that this is a return to form for the band. There is plenty of what we have come to expect from Evanescence but there is also a good deal of experimentation. Certainly enough to keep the album interesting as it progresses.
Listen to ‘Better Without You’ on our Spotify Hot List!
āFeeding The Darkā and āBetter Without Youā remind you how gloriously heavy yet anthemic the band can get. Meanwhile āUse My Voiceā, āTake Coverā and āFar From Heavenā help to explore the versatility of the band.
Having gone ten years since their last album you could be forgiven for questioning the bands drive. With a release like āThe Bitter Truthā however you must now question what could have been had the band managed a more regimented release schedule.
What āThe Bitter Truthā does is make you remember just how good Evanescence can be, and hope that itās not another ten years before they follow it up!
