The Bitter Truth

[grayestofghosts]

Was on a road trip last week and listening to Evanescence's new album The Bitter Truth on repeat, thinking, this is great, why wasn't I into this stuff when I was in middle school, back when this band was so popular (aside from the fact that CDs were prohibitively expensive for me back then)? Well, I downloaded their 2003 album Fallen and, despite The Bitter Truth definitely having that early 2000s sound, it's... much better? Which shouldn't be surprising that they've improved but not just the instrumentation as being more mature, just even the sound quality is so much better on the new album than the old one that even lil old me can tell the difference. I wonder if that's a quirk of the iTunes copy or was an issue with the original.
