Editorial Review:
The follow-up to their Multi-Platinum Debut Featuring the hit single "Call Me When You're Sober"
Description of The Open Door:
There's nothing like a breakup to focus your muse. This follow-up to the stunning, multi-platinum Fallen was penned as singer Amy Lee's troubled romance with bandmate Ben Moody was spiraling out of control, impelling her to craft an anxious record full of recriminations, revelation, and self-flagellation, as she questioned everything that kept her whole. It's a fascinating journey for the listener as she ventures into her own personal heart of darkness, her stricken, perfect voice suspended on an unsteady precipice between breakdown and breakthrough. Despite the loss of two members, including guitarist Moody who left mid-tour in 2003, the album has a maturity, sophistication, and a singular vision that wasn't found in their earlier work. Stately and as exotic as Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, with its intricate instrumentation, disturbing imagery, and disembodied chorus, The Open Door shows exactly what this band is capable of. "Snow White Queen" is a goth-y alternative to Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together," equally anthemic, but with much more grit and pain. --Jaan Uhelszki
The Open Door Reviews:
Better The Second,Third and Fourth Time Around!!!! 
2008-09-18 - The first time i listened to this album i said what the crap is this. Then after a few weeks i decided to try and listen again, now i love this album and can't put it down. This album is practically Amy's diary with guitars and i love it. It is alot different from the first album so you can't really compare the two. I can't wait for the next one!!!!!!
Amazing Album!! 
2008-09-15 - This is the best album I have ever listened to. I absolutely love how dramatic, even subtly so, the music can be. Amy Lee has the most beautiful voice, and her harmonies are incredible!
Solid CD
2008-08-07 - Evanescence features a wonderful female singer named Amy Lee. Amy has a very good, deep sounding voice. You won't have the generic female singer that the mainstream is used to. The music in this one has a good amount of variety to it. Sometimes you will hear rock music, electronica, or some weird other sounds. One problem I have with this one though is that Amy Lee sounds the same in most of the sounds. Still, she sounds good, just the same.
The obvious audience for this one is someone who feels weak and wants to rise up. Not in a political way, but in a more emotional way. Soem of the lyrics are based around females more then males, but you can deal with it.
Songs like "Lithium" and "Weight of the world" are my personal favorites. The obvious favorite is "Call Me When You're Sober", which was the hit song for this album. The rest of the songs aren't too bad either. Some of them come just come off as a bit generic though.
not as great as the first one 
2008-07-27 - If your a huge amy lee fan then buy it, other wise just get the singles song you like
The Open Door by Evanescence
2008-07-08 - The band brings back all it's power in it's second album released in the US with the Open Door. The lyrics and sound move up to a whole new level of power and depth.
