 "The Open Door is the perfect continuation of Fallen, and it almost results in a qualitative copy."

 "Amy Lee’s voice sounds great on this album, it will be seen live if she will maintain certain vocalizations...!"

The Open Door continues Evanescence's gothic nu-metal style with a strong first half and a weaker, less original second half. Amy Lee's vocals shine but some tracks fall flat. The album offers familiar sounds to fans but little innovation. Discover if Evanescence's The Open Door lives up to Fallen's legacy—read the full review and listen to the album today!

 The fusion between aggressive melodies and sweet symphonic atmospheres is really excellent.

 A very good work from Rage...managing to place some great tracks in an album that has few flaws and a lot of good substance.

 The album lives on a peculiar symphonic-power metal, at times gothic.

 It would be right for the next work to make some changes and tweaks here and there, and surely, the result would be as good as this one, but less monolithic and more concrete.

Angtoria's debut album showcases Sarah Jezebel Deva's unique vocal style against a backdrop of symphonic-power metal with gothic touches. While it impresses with orchestral arrangements and melodic songs like 'Suicide On My Mind' and the Kylie Minogue cover, the album suffers from a lack of variety and some repetitive melodies. Overall, a solid but uneven release that reveals potential for growth in future projects. Listen to Angtoria's debut now and explore a unique blend of symphonic and gothic metal with standout vocals!

 The 13 tracks are all potential hits: their structure, melodies, and solos have sure appeal and are very easy and smooth to listen to.

 I believe we could define this new work from the band as a sweet return, without any striking revolutions or excessive changes of course.
