Maybe Evanescence is brilliant. Maybe Amy Lee and whoever is in that band now have pioneered the musical equivalent of those movie franchises, where they churn out one sequel after another to make as much money as they can before people realize they're making the same movie over and over again. Maybe the reason "The Open Door" (Wind-Up) sounds almost exactly like the band's multiplatinum debut "Fallen" - matching the focus-grouped balance of guitar churn, piano tinkle and mewling from Lee - is part of this master plan. Maybe it will all end in a chain of mall stores that market Lee's brand of "goth" to suburban teens who want to rebel but don't know any better. Maybe the over-the-top dramatics of "Lacrymosa" and piano ballad "Your Star" will be seen as so-bad-they're-good. Then again, maybe not. ("The Open Door," in stores today; grade: D)

Wow that was a dumb review, if it's just going to be graded really low then it doesn't deserve a review though The Open Door is amazing in every way and it should be a top contender for Album of the Year.
I just want to know how much the backstage passes are and where I could get them..... I really want to know this..... So if someone can tell me just send me some info....it would be greatly appreciated....
thanx
