There are some bands, of course, that can jam incredibly well.

Most of the pop bands are all studio trickery, though.

No thanks, ill stick to 90's music.

Love that stuff. Top 5.

Metallica - reloaded
Bush-Razorblade suitcase
Nirvana- In utero
Blur - everything
Tom waits- Is da shiznit (Actually been a fan of his for 15 years. Kickass jazz/bar singer)

I had heard their songs before. It was only today I finally got the name of the band. It's nice to see how it is spelled. I was just going to check them out on Kazaa tonight. What are the odds there would be a thread on them the same day I discovered who they are.

I like her voice a lot. The music isn't really anything special from what I can tell (I haven't heard the whole song). definately worth a listen to.

I'll get back later to tell how much I like their songs when I hear more of them.

and someone post a picture dammit!! . She sounds hot. I'm just going by what her voice sounds like though.

this picture kind of turns me on

if it was a bunch of husky white males where would this band be

[Dis]

I still like her singing. I'm listening to Bring me to life now- that is the song they play on the radio. The rapping is annoying. I'd rather to listen to Linkin Park for that. When will people learn that most white guys cannot rap, only a few exceptions to that rule.

the music is horrible. I'm not sure if I got a bad download bitrate or what. I forgot to check the bitrates on my downloads.

I kinda almost like them. If that accounts for anything.

edit: listening to Haunted right now. It sucks
just started listening to whisper. doesn't sound so good so far

conclusion: they are a one hit wonders who's hit really isn't very good. I just like the way her voice sounds in bring me to life. the rest of the song sucks.

My chick likes this band. I find them better than 95% of new stuff on the radio (course that's not saying much at all).

They did an acoustic set on BBC Radio 1 this week, and surprised me with their ability to carry it off. The leadsinger got an extremely powerful voice.

I quite like it, beats a lot of other stuff that is out at the moment.

Found the link to the acoustic version:

[self biased]

eh. mediocre at best. her voice is above average, certainly but that nimrod from 12 stones should be shot.

[BustaMike]

Bump 'cause this band sucks and that review in the middle of the thread is priceless.

Man this band is getting on my nerves. You can't turn on the TV anymore without hearing that you have to buy this "best CD of the year"

Although Lacuna Coil is rather boring, I'd take them any day instead of this. At least they have a few good songs.

Besides, if you like heavy music with female vocals, look for bands like Within Temptation, Nightwish and Gathering instead

[aaglo]

I've hear only the song "bring me to life".

It sounds like one of those nu-metal bands that can be categorized like "13 of these in a dozen".

But still it sounds good - mainly due to the female singer. I certainly would like to hear more songs from them.

Or the first three albums of Theatre of Tragedy, or Inkubus Sukkubus (although they're a bit repetitive as of lately).
