What is the Evanescence - Fallen of video games?

>>724954424 (OP)
Silent Hill 2. It's the game I'd show someone new to horror games. Fallen is a baby-bat recruitment tool

I don't know, DMC3? Silent Hill 3?

>>724957014
>female pop vocals
Amy Lee is definitely not a bubblegum pop lyricist lmao, she has a very unique voice.

>>724957190
Sorry dude but Evanesence is overproduced as shit. Amy Lee is the metal equivalent of Avril Lavigne. Don't get me wrong, Evanesence and Avril Lavigne are guilty pleasures (mainly because of 2000s nostalgia). But Amy Lee's voice and lyricism are pure sadgirl pop, and would be unlistenable if it wasn't for the hard rockin instrumentation

>>724957385
I think you might be biased, Amy Lee's vocals hold up very easily on their own.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f2ZeHaAHvY

>>724957454
Idk it just really sounds melodramatic and girly to me. Especially the symphonic instrumentation. Not nails on a chalkboard or anything, quite pleasant to listen to actually, but it's still shallow pop. I'll be real, I think I'm almost incapable of taking female musicians seriously. I'll be the first to admit that I'm biased as hell

>>724957454
I don't think that anon is criticizing her vocal range, which is actually pretty good. But the songs are indeed sad Avril Lavigne tier.

>>724957793
I don't see the similarities to Avril Lavigne, a better comparison would be Paramore but that came significantly later to the point where it was probably aping Evanescence. And even then that's one band, to call Evanescence derivative or "pop" doesn't make any sense.

>>724957951
What do you think "pop" means exactly?

>>724958189
Not Evanescence, that's for sure

>>724958383
You clearly don't know enough about music to have this discussion, and that's okay :)

>>724957951
Not saying Avril Lavigne and Evanescence sounded alike, but they were basically parallel phenomena. Their fans came from the same place, emotional teens chasing some kind of "safe rebellion"
The only real difference is that Avril kids wanted to scream while Evanescence kids wanted to cry.

>>724958503
>pop is anything that gets popular for a bit
Okay I guess Metallica and Slayer are pop.

>>724954424 (OP)
Bloodrayne

>>724958781
This. First game that immediately came to mind.

>>724958503
>>724957385
>Evanescence blends various musical styles in their music, primarily rock, classical, alternative, heavy metal, industrial, and electronic. Music journalists vary in terming Evanescence a rock or metal band, and many identify gothic elements in their music. The band is generally classified as alternative metal,[284] gothic rock,[288] gothic metal,[293] and hard rock.[297]
Looks like none of her genres are pop. You're just a butthurt contrarian.

>>724958824

>>724958980
Industrial is kinda poppy

>>724958762
A lot of things define pop, it's a complicated thing, but probably the most objective and measurable metric of pop is overproduction. Metallica and Slayer's production are extremely stripped down and minimalist, having no personnel beyond the producer and the bandmembers themselves, while Evanescence's soundscapes are as cluttered and have as many cooks in the kitchen as Taylor Swift's. Picrel is pretty much irrefutable evidence that Evanescence is, by definition, pop. But who am I kidding, you have no fucking clue what I'm talking about lmao. Just a dumb normie with dumb normie tastes and a dumb normie understanding of music

>>724958647
>Their fans came from the same place, emotional teens chasing some kind of "safe rebellion"
Precisely. They weren't punks or goths. Just 13 year old normalfags posers aping them.

>>724959184
>time to move the goal post

>>724957951
Evanescence was essentially the gateway band into symphonic metal for a lot of people especially Americans. They heard Bring Me to Life and discovered bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation while looking for something similar.

lol

>>724959186
>pop is when a lot of people work on producing a song
Pop is Britney Spears, Bruno Mars, Michael Jackson, Sabrina Carpenter and so on. Evanesence bears no resemblance to any of those artists. Also stop replying to yourself nimrod.

>>724959346
I accept your concession

American McGee's Alice or Bloodrayne, perhaps.

>>724955661
Based. The Open Door is also a superior album.

>>724959262
For me it was more goth metal as I went to Lacuna Coil from Evanescence. These days, I wonder what the hell's going on with My Dying Bride and marvel at how Paradise Lost is still as good as they are.

>>724959262
What are some good symphonic metal bands? Female vocals preferred.
I like Tarja era Nightwish, but didn't care much for them after she left
I like early Within Temptation, like Mother Earth
I've listened to the two albums by Nocturna and thought they were pretty good.

unironically gaylo considering both were blasted non stop mainstream slop at it's time
>zoomers waxing poetics because the cover is edgy

>>724959414
Frank Sinatra and the Beatles were also pop. Pop isn't a single sound defined by specific instruments like most other genres

>>724959439
Cry harder, metalcuck LARPer. Nu metal is metal, goth metal is metal, symphonic metal is metal. You have 0 authority to define what and what is not metal just because it makes you butthurt.

>>724959535
>Frank Sinatra
>pop
Was Elvis pop? This word is meaningless.

>>724959586
Frank Sinatra was literally traditional pop, you retard. You don't even know the basics of music, why are you participating in this discussion? Why can't you just accept that you're not qualified and move on? I don't understand pride

>>724959506
Halo is the Hybrid Theory of vidya.

>>724959506
I feel Halo is more in line with Linkin Park and possibly Disturbed more so than Evanescence.
I feel better comparisons would be BloodRayne and oddly Final Fantasy X/Kingdom Hearts (mainly because there were constant music videos with those games paired with Amy's songs).

>>724959689
So now pop needs addendums so the label makes sense? What isn't pop?

>>724959557
Sounds like you're the one crying though. I'm simply explaining textbook definitions to you and you're taking it personally. I never even insulted you

>>724955245
>mfw Breaking Benjamin started blasting during Halo 2

What is the Meteora of vidya?

>>724955245
>only enjoyed by teens

I knew middle-aged women (at the time) who liked Evanescence.

>>724959759
As I already said, overproduction is a pretty reliable metric to gauge if something is pop or not. Just look at the personnel list of the album for your answer

>>724959832
Halo 2

>>724959832
Ocarina of time

>>724959912
>As I already said, overproduction is a pretty reliable metric to gauge if something is pop or no
Apparently not if such a definition puts Frank Sinatra and Evanescence in the same category.

>>724959842
women don't age past their teens, he's talking about men

>>724959842
I've somewhat come back around to Evanescence in my 30s. Loved them in my teens, dropped them in my 20s, can put them on again as a sort of comfy pop music now.

>>724960002
Frank Sinatra is pop jazz. Evanescence is pop metal. It's really not that complicated. You wouldn't deny Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift both being pop, even though they sound nothing alike

>>724959502
Nightwish
Within Temptation
Epica
Delain
Stream of Passion
Visions of Atlantis
Xandria
Amberian Dawn
Nemesea

Probably more of them out there but those are the ones I can think of anyway.

Eternal is quite a good song.

>>724960737
now that you said it according to the retarded definition of the metaltard something like industrial, progressive rock, math rock or alternative rock would be "pop" because they use an unholy amount of production

Her singing is like anchovies. They'd be horrible on their own, but no one eats them that way. They're usually part of a salad dressing or put on some other food like pizza, and like that they're pretty good.

>>724961679
Classical music is composed by literally one guy. It's a single cohesive vision. As artistic and genuine as art can get. Literally the worst example you could've chosen. That's how out-of-touch you are with this whole subject. Just stop

>>724959689
Wouldn't Sinatra being pop invalidate that "overproduced music" definition, since most of his music predates the concept of production (at least the kind the genre is known for) by a few decades?

>>724959414
Billy Joel was considered pop music. The pain you're feeling in your head right now is "cognitive dissonance." You can learn from it or double down and be retarded the rest of your life.

>>724961830
Amy and the guitarist also wrote and arranged most of their own songs
>The album's songs were written by Lee and Moody, with Lee the core writer.[52] The two wrote some of the songs when they were 15 and 16.[14] "Imaginary", "My Immortal", and "Whisper" were originally from the duo's independent recordings in the 1990s.[39][53] Lee composed some of the songs at her house on her keyboard.[54][55] She wrote songs alone first on the piano or on acoustic guitar, and for Fallen she would write a song and work with Moody to "take it to the finish line."[10][30] Lee wrote the album's lyrics except "My Immortal"'s, the melodies, much of the music, pianos, and all the choirs;[58] she is credited with the choral arrangements.[59] Lee also honed in on the string arrangements and electronic elements of the album, some of which are in the background.[48]
Something like My Inmortal is literally a piano piece with a single vocal from Amy. You don't have a coherent definition of what pop, metalcuck. You're just a butthurt loser pretending to be an elitist since the 2000s. 20 years later and YOU still are butthurt.

>>724961630
maybe it isn't bad, but most people really wouldn't care for it on its own.

>>724961316
I'm sorry

>>724961898
nta, but pop is whatever the fuck your average normie is listening to at any given moment prior to 2016 but after 1950 that doesn't better fit in another genre. Its basically only defined by popularity and what it isn't. Its also a dead genre since all popular music now falls under the rap genre.

>>724962265
You literally don't even know what production is or what that word means. It's like trying to convince a caveman that the earth is round. It's impossible

t. was a total loser in the 2000s and still can't get over it

>>724962441
I believe when people are using "pop" to describe music pejoratively it is to point out that the artist went for a tonal shift specifically towards what was "pop" music at the time. In the context of the OP, "Wake Me Up Inside" only has the male vocals literally because the producer execs thought it would appeal to more people because nu-metal was popular at the time.

>>724962461
Seethe and cope. The 2000s won.

Primal. My first girlfriend loved Evanescence and I told her to try Primal. It became her favourite game. We went to the cinema to watch In Bruges when it came out and I fingered her and she sucked my dick and swallowed. I miss her.

>>724962461
You literally dont have a coherent definition of what "pop" is

>>724962689
If that's what he means, then what's the problem if it sounds good?

>>724962689
Classical music was literally made to please rich people, nobility, kings and the pope.

>>724962461
"real" metal sucks get over it

>>724959648
this is the correct answer

>>724962689
Is Bring Me to Life even their most popular song anymore? I've heard Going Under and My Immortal more often.

>>724954424 (OP)
Some safe-edgy overly-melodramatic shit that teens who hate their parents and wear eyeliner paired with dark clothes are into? Idk. I don't think there are any modern games that fit that profile. There are definitely games that fit each of those categories separately, but I don't know any that fit all of them.

>>724963063
Well it was pretty popular in memes for a few years. I think that keeps it way more forward in a lot of people's mind who remember that.

ITT a lot of boomers' school crush liked this band and rejected them like 20 years ago

>>724962749
When music becomes pop, it means the artistic integrity has been compromised in favor of commercial success. Instead of being one, raw, cohesive vision by a single artist or a group of artists with authentic chemistry and synergy with one another, an entire production team of disposable sound engineers have been brought aboard to optimize the commercial viability of the product. That doesn't mean that pop music still can't sound good, there's plenty of good pop music. But, if you're not retarded, your ear should be able to immediately recognize if something is pop or not

>>724963063
My Immortal is very close to being her most popular song, but Bring me to Life still wins. The energy of the song is just too strong to be topped at this point. It has reached divine meme status like In the End.

>>724955661
for me, its

Therion has a big string of great albums. Everything from Theli to 2010 is worth listening to.
For a single song check out Son of the Staves of time.
For an album check out Vovin. Probably my favorite.
If you are a sucker for a good female singer Therion has a sweet one although she isn't always singing the most but the variety is what makes Therion great.

>>724962251
Decrepit Births second and third album are pretty close to that era of Death. They started out as a generic brutal death metal band but those middle albums went more on technical and melodic stuff. Really similar to Chucks riffage. They went back to brutal death metal after because I’m assuming they thought people didn’t like their softer side which is a shame.

Was just thinking about this the other day
OP and Linkin Park Meteora were lightning in a bottle.

>>724960141
Same, but for me it was metalcore.
I remember when games would actually have rock/metal in their soundtracks, like Godsmack in a Prince of Persia game, Breaking Benjamin in Halo 2. Also the Bionicle commercials with Chris Daughtry.
Shit was so much better than the mumble rap autotune shit or generic forgettable neoclassical backdrop used in stuff now.

For me its Epica.

I guess Silent Hill 2 might fit here as well. The rusted metal in the game is similar to that on the cover, plus the metallic sound effects are the exact same things you would hear on TDS. Maybe you could also say that James being male also makes this a closer comparison too, but James isn't a drug abuser.

MCR is post-hardcore in that Thursday's vocalist basically mentored them and produced their first album. Some of that momentum carried onto the second, I guess. It's a degrees of separation thing, and Thursday's already a bit out there compared to shit like Rites of Spring or Helmet.

She did flirt with heavier stuff while still with him but she was probably set on leaving by then.
Her recent stuff is solid but a lot of it feels really "safe" for metal music, like it's very expected genre music. I think the first album she released after separating from her manager, I Disagree, was her best one, it was just the right blend of weird.

>>724978445

Like 5-ish years ago. I Disagree is actually pretty good. YMMV on the rest.

>>724960141
Based. I never had that phase where I hated it. Mostly because if someone gave a rec for something else it was always a guy who burps in the mic, or screaming like glass is shoved up his ass.

>>724961820
I typically don't enjoy Poppy's vocals, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed her segment here more than Courtney's. Granted, Courtney's segment was ruined by Poppy's screaming being layered over hers. This should have been Courtney's song but they hardly used her.

Even Iowa was a bit samey throughout. Self-titled rules though, and Solway Firth was a good song so I'll give 'em that one.

>>724981312
Self-Titled was their best work, Iowa was just death metal and Vol. 3 was straight up pop. They will never do something as creative as their first album ever again.

>>724982197
The thing that bothers me is every time they do anything with self titled, they almost always skip Purity.

>>724981312
Which ones were the good ones? I've only listen to Vol. 3 and All Hope is Gone.
I actually really liked their softer songs like Vermilion pt 2 and Snuff.

>>724982359
Self-Titled and Iowa are required listens.

Not him but in the area I grew up, you had a lot of women who were into (well I'm not even sure what you'd call it, Wicca maybe?) Dressing in all black, claiming to be witches and serving goddesses, being into herb collecting, "alchemy brewing" and crystal ball/tarot card fortune reading, etc. Mall-witch/Hot Topic Hag maybe? Regardless, a lot of those older women were big into female vocal bands and Evanescence was one of them.
And before you ask, no none of them were attractive. They were all fat and most were missing teeth. Meth and heroin were pretty big in my childhood area.

I like the remaster. I can't speak for clipping issues, but I've long thought the rock instrumentation on Fallen sounded flat and lacking in impact, and while the remaster doesn't exactly turn this shit into a Sunn O album, at least now it doesn't sound SO two-dimensional.

It's Amy Lee's voice being naturally sibilant. These are two old demo tracks, early enough that the male guest vocalist wasn't around for BMTL. The exact same audio profile is there for her voice.

It's horrible learning the rap vocals in Bring Me To Life only exist because the suits were demanding it or they wouldn't publish it. "Muh mass appeal" and all that.

>>724954424 (OP)
peripeteia

>>724954424 (OP)
retarded album art.

>>725002536
But there's nothing wrong with those parts of the song. Bring Me to Life is 10/10 from start to finish.

>>725002536
It led to them being able to get an orchestra to play in the background, not that the mix did a good job of making it audible.

>>724977928
no it wasnt, men wearing dumb haircuts and painting their nails always got beat up back then

So whatever happened to that band the other members of Evanescence formed after splitting with Amy Lee? They put out one album and just kinda disappeared

>>725003094
Many such cases. A lot of bands flounder, especially when their formation is out of spite for the band they left. The Unguided is a strong exception, and is basically what Sonic Syndicate would have been if they never pivoted to garbage like We Are The Night or that weird techno edm thing they shat out after the self-titled comeback album.
It's not entirely relevant, but that band dying immediately reminds me how Adema has been a barely-functional corpse after releasing their second album, never able to keep a vocalist for more than an album or three-song EP, seemingly only keeping together as a zombie band to more easily collect what few royalties they can get.

>>725003094
no goth waifu = no buy

>>724988271
this, the shit I "grew out of" isnt cringe to me. I just have listened to metallica to death.

>>725003094
The band got discouraged from backlash over "copying" Evanescence even though it was always Ben's music, then they had issues with the label dropping them, then he had some personal issues with drug relapse and divorce. Their name appeared on a bill with Lamb of God and others during the pandemic but because there were vaccine mandates at the time for the cruise ship and some of the members didn't get the shot it didn't happen. The lead singer still teases stories of them getting together on Instagram.

For me, it's

The song is infinitely better without the rap.

The rap was forced into the song and was never intended to be part of it.

I agree. Finding out that the suits mandated that is not a fact that I find to be "horrible". I'm not surprised in the slightest by it.

I only listen to Drinking like once a year, when I want to cry. This is an other heart breaking song, it's Lia singing for Air, and it's better than Tori no Uta.

What's the Saxon - Princess of the Night of vidya?

>>725002483
>>725001397
you are both stupid
the clipping has nothing to do with her voice
there is a static sound at the time stamp because the volume of the song was TOO LOUD also it is in lossless versions of the song and there are discussions about this on several websites. the album was mastered poorly.

Let me explain the Ronald to you. This one time I put the JP comments into a MTL, it was an interesting read. That page is like the Japanese version of that one Chrono Trigger song that has all the guys treating it like it's their LiveJournal blog.

Lia is also from that era, although i doubt anyone ITT had read or watched Air back then. Maybe an originalfag was playing bemani and heard 'Tori no Uta' from that. I would post one of her dance tracks, but this isn't the thread for it.

>>725009956
there is no clipping in the demo version of BTML that you linked because it was mastered properly

i genuinely think you have no idea what you're talking about, or your headphoens are just bad and you cannot hear what I am talking about. That's fine though, stay in your lane with your terrible headphones.

My crew was a bunch of incel metalheads who were "purist" faggots so we would shit all over numetal, scene, and screamo. All we had to do was pretend to like suicide silence and we would have been swimming in emo girl pussy. It hurts so bad in hindsight lol

Can we all agree that Emily Armstrong sucks

>>725010686
A lot of us missed out on prime scene/emo girl pussy by simply not being autistic, you're not alone.

>>725010779
I actually think a few of the tracks on From Zero are pretty good because they're actually playing into her vocal style and doing something different but still familiar.
What fucking sucks are the tracks that are trying to ape Hybrid Theory/Meteora rhythms with a singer those songs weren't designed for, and this goes triple for whenever she's singing old LP tracks at concerts. it simply doesn't hit the same because they were very intentionally written for Chester.

>>725010779
She's okay but relaunching a popular band with a female vocalist just feels like such a 2025 thing to do. People are already sick of seeing it happen with all their favorite movies and games. I guess even music isn't safe from reboots

>>725010779
She's great with the new stuff actually, but she clearly struggles with trying to fill with the classics.
>>725011152
Metal in general seems to be pretty estrogen filled at the moment, in terms of new stuff. I haven't decided if I like it or not, it's been a mixed bag.

>>725010779
eh. she'll never replace chester but she's got energy and stage presence and a decent voice. could've been worse honestly. they were never going to find another chester.

>>725010779
From Zero is listenable, but it's not even the same band anymore. LP name was only kept for marketing reasons because Mike is a greedy faggot.

>>725010779
Chester was one of a kind and you'll never find another, but she's been a good fit for the revival.

>>725010779
evidently we can't all agree on that point, faggot

>>725011359
I don't even know how much of it is greed and how much of it Mike desperately wanting to feel the thrill of a high energy stage performance again.
I haven't been to any of their new concerts but I've watched some of the recordings and he seems ecstatic as fuck to just be in even a similar energy again.

>>725010779
I didn't mind emptiness machine, but her trying to do Chester's songs falls so flat. We'll never have something like the Given Up scream or the "But I'm tired, I will always be afraid" line from Lost.

>>725010779
She's fine. Chester was lightning in a bottle, Shinoda clearly wants to still do music in the same style, so it was only right to go with a friend that works well enough.

>>725011772
I think Two-Faced and Heavy is the Crown are also good but yeah, they really should just move on from having her cover Chester-era songs.

>>725010779
can she do that sustain from given up? no.

>>725011998
Chester fucked his vocals doing that one iirc, but he still gave it a red hot crack whenever that song was done live.

chester's untouchable. it's such a shame he's gone. taken before his time and by his own hand no less.

>>725012127
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsOLoDtBVW4
here's a better one for comparison. eh she does alright but chester's still untouchable.

>>725012127
>>725012197
I feel like she is leaning too much into a scream for most of her singing, whereas chester was always singing, just sometimes added a fry on top of it.
That, and I noticed she didn't pick up on the quivering on the "I'm hyperventilating" part of the song, which is a pretty iconic part of it.

>>724959842
I remember my mother loving Evanescence. All she listens to is Tom Jones, Backstreet Boys and Metallica so it fits.

>>725012285
yeah man. I'm sure they'll do fine going forward as they produce new material with her and she gets to have her own identity with the group, but she holds no candle to chester, that's basically where I'm at with it. also I'm sad I never got to see them before he died. feels like it'd be a farce to go and see one of their shows after the fact.

Why Linkin Park? I don’t listen to them much. What about it resonates so much with /v/?

>>725012576
I have a deep regret where parents said I'd have a choice between seeing a Linkin Park concert (Around the in between of Minutes to Midnight and Thousand Suns era) or get an Xbox 360.
You can tell what I got.

>>724984972
they're all brown as well

>>725012653
I always liked the band for always being "them". Even after they dropped the nu-metal sound, there was stuff that was unmistakably "them" to the core, like A Thousand Suns which I think is an album that went through heavy reevaluation over the years.
It's why one more light was so disappointing, it lost what made Linkin Park themselves unique, that's not to say there weren't songs I aren't in my regular rotation, but it isn't an album I listen front to back any time soon.

>>725012653
they were the voice of a generation. I know that gets thrown around a lot but it's true, they really were the millennial beatles or led zeppelin. it's edgy but also emo, hard but they've got some versatility, and really, it was just a unique sound, more than anything else on the market.
>>725012657
eh, could've been worse, you coulda went and been embarrassed by having your parents in tow or something.

>>725012653
>kids listen to edgy nu-metal band, play Halo and CoD on Xbawks 360, drink Mountain Dew and eat Doritos
>4chan makes fun of them
>kids grow up and go on 4chan
>now nostalgically reminiscence playing Halo and CoD on Xbawks 360 while listening to Linkin Park, drinking Mountain Dew and eating Doritos
It's just the passage of time.

It will never not bother me that there used to be criticism of these bands with stuff like
>They just whine about shit that only privileged white teenagers whine about, lol what pussies
When Johnathan Davis had to go through being raped in the ass numerous times and Chester had to go through being molested and drugged up to his eyeballs.

>>725013060
some of that was ironic ragebait because the kids that would say that shit would go home and when no one's looking they'd vibe to that music too and think it was the shit. kids are dumb and will say anything to try and fit in.

Probably Bring Me the Horizon with all the factors in place

The comparison would only work better if an old LP member left to strongly boost a different aristi in a similar genre (Jordan Fisher being co-producer w/ Poppy on negative spaces)

yeah like totally. i can ugree with that like 100%. like i totally ugree with that. like totally agree with this person's opinion. like totally and im not even a samefag (i swear on my name). i would totally suck his cock (no homo), that's how much i ugree with this guy

>>725003082
not really. I mean, if you lived in a shithole third world country (judging by the way you talk, it's probably the case) it happened from time to time because everyone in those parts of the world is an ape but over here in civilized countries like America pretty men dressed in dark outfits were at the peak of their popularity and got crazy pussy left and right

>>725016947
Out of all the trends to come and go it's still crazy to me that emo and scene were big. Not that I'm complaining but it's such an anomaly compared to trends throughout the last 100 years in pop culture

>>725017079
I mean the population of the entire world got crazy high at the turn of the millennium. 2000s were one of the youngest and most energetic decades in the history of mankind and popular culture reflected that. it was a paradise for all teens and 20 somethings. it was fun
