In 2003, Evanescence scored a surprise hit with FALLEN by combining an intensely heavy, nu-metal sound with old-school goth visual/lyrical elements, and the quasi-operatic vocals of lead singer Amy Lee. The CD/DVD set ANYWHERE BUT HOME documents the band's non-stop touring schedule with in-concert takes on nine of FALLEN's 10 songs. In addition, the release includes a soaring, piano-based cover of Korn's 2002 hit "Thoughtless," and "Missing," a newly recorded studio effort that features moody vocals, dance beats, and a glockenspiel! Most tracks stick fairly close to their studio counterparts, but benefit from the added bombast, drama, and crowd interaction that a live recording affords. Of course, as on Evanescence's debut, the main attraction is Lee's voice, which is in fine form here--the singer belts out every word to the wildly enthusiastic Paris, France crowd with a mix of alt-rock melancholy and hard-rock power.



Evanescence’s "Anywhere But Home", captures one night of the magic as cameras entered The Zenith in Paris to capture the phenomenon. The two-disc DVD/CD features Evanescence’s sold-out European tour and is offered in both 5.1 and two-track audio mixes. In addition to the live concert DVD, which was directed by Hamish Hamilton (U2, Peter Gabriel), "Anywhere But Home" also includes a CD of the concert presented in a two-track mix, and the previously unreleased studio recording of the composition "Missing." The DVD features the band's four music videos, an hour-long behind-the-scenes program, and some special surprises in addition to the concert film. The special surprises will be discovered by the viewer as they navigate the menus designed exclusively for this special release.



While it might be a little early in their career for a live album, this CD/DVD set proves that Evanescence - particularly singer Amy Lee - are more than capable of delivering the goods in concert. Recorded live in Paris, Anywhere but Home reprises most of the band's multi-platinum album Fallen, but few of the selections are close-to-the-vest re-creations of the studio versions. Both "My Immortal" and "Bring Me to Life" are rendered in more anthemic form, thanks in large part to the swirling, energized grooves laid down by the rhythm section. "Breathe No More," on the other hand, emphasizes the haunting intensity of Lee's voice, a powerful instrument indeed. The disc does offer up a pair of previously unreleased songs that illustrate the dual personality within Evanescence: On "Missing," the band's Goth roots shine through in all their dark and stormy glory; a cover of Korn's "Thoughtless," on the other hand, nods to their ability to crank out capital-R rawk. The set's DVD contains all the concert footage, shot in a non-slick manner (all the better to capitalize on the show's energy), and an hour's worth of interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.

Anywhere but Home is a live chronicle of where Evanescence have been since the spring 2003 release and subsequent sextuple-platinum reign of their debut album, Fallen. Recorded at a tour stop in Paris, the set includes all their hits, as well as a previously unreleased studio track ("Missing"). While it's a fine holdover until the recording of a proper studio follow-up, Home also reasserts Amy Lee's position at Evanescence's center. Throughout the band's rise, there was the drama - co-founder Ben Moody's contentious departure, the are-they-or-aren't-they Christian rock debates - but there was always the singular force of Lee, whose powerful vocals, strident public persona, and striking fashion sense broke down the doors of the alternative metal boys club. Appropriately, Lee is the star of Anywhere but Home. Her voice has an impressively raw quality live, and her banter with the fawning Parisian crowd is always engaging. The mix also favors her (as well as the prominent use of keys/synthesizers), which unfortunately lessens the effect of John LeCompt and Terry Balsamo's guitars and Rocky Gray's impressive drumming. Still, "Going Under" surges nicely into its anthemic chorus, and when the guitars do show up (like on "Everybody's Fool"), Lee matches their power easily. She takes a softer approach for the arch piano ballad "My Immortal," which becomes a singalong moment for 5,000 souls, and that song leads nicely into an extended vocal intro for the breakthrough hit (and Home standout) "Bring Me to Life." (Evanescence's cover of Korn's "Thoughtless" will be another fan highlight.) The album closes, as does Fallen, with the swirling, vaguely Eastern-tinged metal melodies of "Whisper," and Lee's throaty vocal endures even as the synths and processed choir effects threaten to engulf her.

Johnny Loftus - All Music Guide



Essentially a live showcase for their mega-selling breakthrough Fallen, this CD/DVD combo set chronicles Evanescence in peak form during a subsequent tour stop in Paris. The performances here lean early on the crunch of guitarists John Lecompt and Terry Balsamo (reaching a peak on the the band's potent cover of Korn's "Thoughtless"), but ultimately revolve around the melodramatic, goth-rooted vocal charisma of singer Amy Lee. It's on stripped-down, yet still larger-than-life takes of "Bring Me to Life" and "My Immortal," as well as the shadowy grace of "Breathe No More," that Lee stakes her claim to the alt.diva throne. Taken as a whole, the forceful renditions here argue that this live recording was hardly premature, instead well documenting the band's more direct musical tack and considerable live chops. The CD contains the appropriately named, previously unreleased studio track "Missing," while the DVD supplements its crisply shot and edited concert performances with four videos and an hour of documentary footage and interviews.

Endlich Neues von Evanescence, die sich als eine der ganz wenigen Bands des vergangenen Jahrzehnts im Eiltempo eine herausragende und bleibende Rock 'n' Roll Erfolgsgeschichte geschaffen haben! Von ihrem Debütalbum "Fallen", das im April 2003 erschien, verkaufte das US-Quintett Evanescence bislang über zwölf Millionen Exemplare weltweit. Dabei wurden Amy Lee und Kollegen in den vergangenen Monaten mit Awards geradezu überhäuft - darunter zwei Grammys ("Best New Artist" und "Best Hard Rock Performance"). Ihre Welttournee führte die Band mit fortwährender Dauer in immer größere Hallen - insgesamt sahen mehr als eine Million Fans auf der ganzen Welt Evanescence live. Am 22. November erscheint nun mit "Anywhere But Home" ein Live-Mitschnitt des Auftritts im Pariser "The Zenith", bei dem Evanescence neben den bekannten Songs ihres Debütalbums auch drei Titel spielten, die nicht auf "Fallen" zu finden sind: "Farther Away", "Breathe No More" und die Korn-Coverversion "Thoughtless". Zusätzlich zur Konzert-DVD, die von Hamish Hamilton (U2, Peter Gabriel) mit 14 Kameras spektakulär in Szene gesetzt wurde, enthält das Doppel-Package eine Audio-CD der Performance, sowie den bislang unveröffentlichten Song "Missing". Die DVD umfasst überdies die vier bisherigen Evanescence-Videoclips zu "Bring Me To Life", "Going Under", "My Immortal" und "Everybody's Fool", ein etwa einstündiges Behind-The-Scenes-Feature und einige versteckte Überraschungen.
