 I fully appreciate it. Within Temptation show, in my opinion, that they improve with each album and certainly possess musical talent.

 I would give the album a full 5, finding no 'commercial' songs to appeal to the public nor any imitation of Evanescence at any point.

Within Temptation's third album, 'The Silent Force,' showcases notable musical growth with rich orchestral elements and strong vocal performances. The review highlights standout tracks like 'Jillian' and 'Stand My Ground,' dismissing comparisons to Evanescence. The album combines gothic and symphonic metal successfully, balancing heavy and melodic moments. Overall, it's rated highly for originality, atmosphere, and emotional depth. Explore 'The Silent Force' by Within Temptation—listen now and experience a gothic metal journey of passion and depth!
