I’m sorry Scribble -I tried so hard to listen to this.
Points for earnestness?That was my point.
There's some good Christian music out there. I mean, I've been listening to Evanescence for a week, straight.
This ain't it.
Evanescence is a Christian group? I had no idea. I confess I haven’t paid too much attention to any of their lyrics. Brb.

Not Praise and Worship, but they have a Christian theme. I also used to listen to a lot of Deleriou5?.
I loved Mezzamorphis.

Critics vary in terming Evanescence a rock or metal band, but most identify them as some form of gothic band. Publications such as The New York Times, Rough Guides and Rolling Stone have identified Evanescence as a gothic metal act,[3][108][109] while other sources such as IGN, Spin and NMEhave termed them gothic rock.[50][110] They have been compared to a variety of bands from differing genres, such as nu metal ensembles like Linkin Park,[111][112] gothic metal groups like Lacuna Coil,[113] and symphonic metal acts like Nightwish and Within Temptation.[114] David Browne of Blenderoffers an elaborate description of the band's music as "goth Christian nü-metal with a twist of melancholic Enya."[115] Adrien Begrand of PopMatters describes Evanescence's guitar riffs to be similar to nu metal.[116] Adrian Jackson of My Dying Bride stated that he feels Evanescence is doing something similar to his own gothic metal group, only in a more commercial direction.[117] Other genres and influences used to describe the band's sound include industrial rock,[118][119] alternative metal,[120][121] hard rock,[122][123] alternative rock,[120] post-grunge,[124] and progressive metal.[125] Evanescence cite Pantera,[126] Björk,[126][127] Mozart,[127] Danny Elfman,[127] Tori Amos,[127] Nirvana,[128] Portishead,[129][130] Nine Inch Nails,[131] Garbage[132] and Plumb[133] as influences.
Evanescence was originally promoted in Christian stores. Later, the band made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre.[134] Terry Hemmings, CEO of Christian music distributor Provident, expressed puzzlement at the band's about-face, saying: "They clearly understood the album would be sold in these [Christian music] channels".[135] After many Christian stores began to remove the band's music from their shelves, Wind-up Records chairman Alan Meltzer then issued a press release in April 2003 requesting formally that they do this.[136] In 2006, Amy Lee told Billboard that she had opposed the "Christian band" identification from the beginning, calling it a "Ben thing".[137]

Not bad so far!
Obligatory 'New Rammstein song' post. Actually got a rather good Kraftwerk vibe to it:
Video's not quite as insane (or as controversial) as Deutschland but it's still worth a watch.
Please note that both Rammstein videos have some NSFW moments.
Definitely looking forward to the full release of new album next month.
