Ten seconds into my first listen of Evanescence’s self-titled new record, I had a strange sensation of nostalgia. The band’s debut record Fallen (2003) was a special one for me, and I won’t lie, it got flogged in my CD player. Upon hearing the band's new material, I was reminded just how much I had loved this band, and how I had connected with their songs.
