The Open Door is the second studio album released by American rock  band Evanescence. To date, it has spawned five singles and been supported by two worldwide tours. The album was certified platinum in the United States just over a month after its release, and has since sold more than five million copies worldwide.

The Open Door was released worldwide beginning with Poland on September 25, 2006, Japan on September 27, Ireland and Germany on September 29, Australia on September 30, the rest of Europe on October 2, 2006, and was released to North America and Argentina on October 3. The digital version of the album was made available for pre-order on August 15, 2006 on iTunes and Walmart.com. This pre-order, if bought before the street date of October 3, 2006, contained an interview with Amy Lee and a bonus track titled "The Last Song I'm Wasting on You" (which later became a B-side track on the "Lithium" single). The full album was leaked to the internet on September 4, 2006, and on September 24, the album became available for full streaming at AOL Music and on MuchMusic.com. The Open Door debuted at number one in the U.S., Australia, Germany, Greece and Switzerland, and was in the top five in Austria, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, South Korea, Sweden and the United Kingdom. According to the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart, the album sold about 447,000 copies its first week; it was also the 700th album to top that chart. In just two weeks on the U.S. charts, the album sold approximately 725,000 copies, and on November 8, 2006, The Open Door was certified platinum in the United States after little more than a month in wide release. Double platinum certification was awarded on June 24, 2009. In comparison, Fallen debuted with 142,000 copies and went on to sell more than 7 million in the U.S. alone. The Open Door won in the "Album of the Year" category at the 2007 MTV Australia Video Music Awards. According to the National Music Publishers Association, as of June 10, 2008, The Open Door had sold nearly two million copies in the United States, and Evanescence.com states that more than five million copies have been sold worldwide.

The first single from the album was "Call Me When You're Sober", which had a limited radio release on July 31, 2006, going into wide release over the next week.  This full version of "Call Me When You're Sober" had been leaked to the Internet a couple of days before it was due to be officially released to radio airplay; after this occurred, the record label allowed radio stations to begin playing the song. Its music video, directed by Marc Webb, was filmed in July 2006. The second single from The Open Door, "Lithium", was released to the UK on January 8, 2007. The third single, "Sweet Sacrifice", was originally planned to be "All That I'm Living For"; however, after considering the wishes of both the fans and the band itself, the label decided to change the release. The fourth single is "Good Enough". The music video for "Good Enough" was filmed between June 11 and June 14, 2007, on Váci Street in Budapest, Hungary. The video was directed by Marc Webb and Rich Lee, and produced by production company DNA. As present in Fallen, this album contains both string and vocal ensembles. The Millennium Choir, the choir group used for songs on Fallen such as "Everybody's Fool", "Haunted" and "Whisper", is used on the tracks "Lacrymosa" and "Your Star". The fifth single, "Weight of the World", was a limited release beginning October 2007 to the country of Colombia only. This is similar to the Fallen single "Imaginary", which was released only to Spain. Certain other songs on the album have special significance unto themselves. A clip of "Lacrymosa" was used in the video teaser for The Open Door, and the song "Like You" is written in memory of Amy Lee's deceased sister, as was "Hello" on Fallen. Together Again", a song created for The Open Door but later cut, was released as a digital download in January 2010 to benefit the United Nations Foundation for their Haiti earthquake recovery efforts. It later received wide release as a digital download on February 23, 2010.

It seems like a minor miracle that Evanescence released their second album at all, given the behind-the-scenes toil and trouble that surrounded the aftermath of their 2003 debut, Fallen, turning into an unexpected blockbuster. Actually, so much drama followed Evanescence that it's hardly the same band anymore. Certainly, pivotal songwriter/guitarist Ben Moody is no longer with the band, leaving not long after Fallen had become an international success, and sometime after that, they lost their bassist - leaving behind Amy Lee as the indisputable leader of the band. She always was the face, voice, and spirit of the band anyway - dominating so that it often seemed that she was named Evanescence and not fronting a band called that - but by the time the group finally released their long-awaited second album, The Open Door, in October 2006, there was no question that it was her band, and she has learned well from the success of Fallen. Pushed to the background are the Tori-isms that constituted a good chunk of the debut - they're saved for the brooding affirmation of a closer, "Good Enough," and the churning "Lithium," which most certainly is not a cover of Nirvana's classic (that song never mentioned its title, this repeats it incessantly) - and in their place is the epic gothic rock (not quite the same thing as goth rock, mind you) that made Lee rock's leading witchy woman of the new millennium. And she doesn't hesitate to dig into the turmoil surrounding the band, since this truly is all about her - she may artfully avoid the ugliness surrounding the lawsuit against her manager, whom she's alleged of sexual harassment, but she takes a few swipes against Moody, while hitting her semi-famous ex, Shaun Morgan of Seether, directly with "Call Me When You're Sober," as blunt a dismissal as they come. To hear her tell it, she not only doesn't need anybody, she's better on her own. Yet artists aren't always the best judge of their own work, and Lee could use somebody to help sculpt her sound into songs, the way she did when Moody was around. Not that she's flailing about necessarily - "Call Me When You're Sober" not only has structure, it has hooks and momentum - but far too often, The Open Door is a muddle of affections. Sonically, however, it captures the Evanescence mythos better and more consistently than the first album - after all, Lee now has no apologies of being the thinking man's nu-metal chick, now that she's a star.

There's nothing like a breakup to focus your muse. This follow-up to the stunning, multi-platinum Fallen was penned as singer Amy Lee's troubled romance with bandmate Ben Moody was spiraling out of control, impelling her to craft an anxious record full of recriminations, revelation, and self-flagellation, as she questioned everything that kept her whole. It's a fascinating journey for the listener as she ventures into her own personal heart of darkness, her stricken, perfect voice suspended on an unsteady precipice between breakdown and breakthrough. Despite the loss of two members, including guitarist Moody who left mid-tour in 2003, the album has a maturity, sophistication, and a singular vision that wasn't found in their earlier work. Stately and as exotic as Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, with its intricate instrumentation, disturbing imagery, and disembodied chorus, The Open Door shows exactly what this band is capable of. "Snow White Queen" is a goth-y alternative to Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together," equally anthemic, but with much more grit and pain.

Donner, Blitz und Doria! Hier geht es zu wie in der Hölle! Nach dreieinhalb Jahren Plattenpause veröffentlichen Evanescence aus Arkansas das neue Album The Open Door. Wie es sich für Gothic-Metal-Rock geziemt, gibt es symbolischerweise 13 neue Stücke, die meisten davon so psychopathisch frohlockend, dass sich die Gräber öffnen. Sängerin Amy Lee singt sich die Seele aus dem Leib, haut einem mit Furien-Chören die Sado-Maso-Ektasen nur so um die Ohren, während die Gitarren das weltliche Inferno heraufbeschwören. Wer so viel Dramatik, Pathos und schwarzromantische Knalleffeke liebt, der ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Zumal Evanescence dem krassen Gegensatz zwischen lauter Düsternis und romantischer Entrücktheit frönen, siehe „Lithium“ oder „The Only One“. Wild und morbide schon der Auftakt mit „Sweet Sacrifice“, nicht weniger vehement die Single „Call Me When You're Sober“, und hysterisch übergeschnappt mit Sirenenchören die „Snow White Queen“. Ganz selten kommt wahre Ruhe auf, wie etwa im ersten Teil von „Your Star“, versöhnlich, fast optimistisch dann der elegische Ausklang mit großem Chor und Orchester auf „Good Enough“. Ansonsten können Evanescence einem ganz schön Bange machen.

The second album from Evanescence, The Open Door sees this Arkansas, Little Rock quintet build on the metal melodrama and ambitious, Wagnerian operatics that saw former single "Bring Me To Life" top the UK chart for five weeks. The departure of co-founder Ben Moody, who reportedly left the band in 2003 to tackle an alcohol problem, means The Open Door is very much the work of singer/pianist Amy Lee. Fusing gothic, supernatural imagery with affairs of the heart, songs like "Lithium" and "Call Me When You're Sober" - a break-up number that makes like a Halloween Alanis Morisette, all girl-done-wrong sentiments ("Don't cry to me/If you loved me you would be here with me") and dramatic metal chug – sound every bit as huge as the stand-outs on their predecessor. As on Fallen, their 2003 debut, Evanescence pull the neat trick of blending rock heaviness with chart-friendly anthemicism (little wonder the band claim the mighty Meatloaf as an early inspiration). But some interesting moments come when Evanescence ease off on the metal histrionics, however - "Lacrymosa" delves a little deeper into classical composition, a trip-hop paced number featuring the strains of a string orchestra and the sombre chorus of an opera line.

Louis Pattison - Amazon.co.uk



When co-founder Ben Moody left Evanescence, conventional wisdom suggested that Amy Lee would push the band full-force into the pop mainstream by stripping away the torrential riffs that propelled many of the darker songs on the band's breakthrough, Fallen. Well, as so often happens, conventional wisdom comes up empty on The Open Door, a disc that - while not as focused on the primal as its predecessor - packs every bit as much punch both sonically and emotionally. Those elements dovetail brilliantly on "Call Me When You're Sober," an acerbic rocker that finds Lee reluctantly but firmly calling an end to a relationship that's grown too destructive to maintain. With the help of new guitarist Terry Balsamo - who shines particularly brightly on "Sweet Sacrifice," which interpolates a "Kashmir"-like riff with hypnotic effectiveness - she takes Evanescence in a direction that's even more darkly compelling and far more multi-dimensional. Lee pushes the envelope in terms of song structure on several of The Open Door's tracks, from the eerie jungle construction that underpins the insistently pulsing "Snow White Queen - a cautionary tale of an obsessive stalker - to the massed choral chants that push her along on the woozy "Lacrymosa." So while it might not bear as many instant mosh pit hits as one might expect, The Open Door offers - as befits its title - something truly intriguing to those willing to cross its threshold with an open mind.

A few years ago, when Evanescence got off the bus from Arkansas and sold 7 million copies of their debut album, Fallen, they were the only Evanescence around. As soon as you saw the video for "My Immortal," you knew you were in the presence of a teen-misery titan, as Amy Lee tiptoed through a marble castle of pain, in a Victorian white dress she could have borrowed from Stevie Nicks, and a voice that came from you and me. But these days there are scads of Evanescences: young bands searching for the right combo of goth eyeliner, deader-than-death skin tone and morbid alterna-teen melodrama. Without Evanescence, could there be a My Chemical Romance or Panic! at the Disco? Evanescence's goth-metal bombast got its impact from Lee's spirituality, as she played her piano and sang about her haunted romances with both boys and God. In the process, she became America's favorite Christian zombie-vampire girl. Did that make her happy? One listen to The Open Door should let you know: Amy Lee is still extremely sad about boys, God and much, much more.

In the three years since Fallen, Lee has gone through a few major lifestyle changes. For one thing, she is now a rock star, which is why she now writes songs about the pressures of fame ("Weight of the World") and psycho fans ("Snow White Queen"). She also split with guitarist Ben Moody, whom she met at Christian summer camp while she was singing a Meat Loaf ballad. But, really, Lee could replace the boys in the band mid-song and nobody would notice. When the pain takes over her corseted soul, as in practically every song on The Open Door, she just overdubs her big bodice-ripping voice into a choir. Her vocals are over the top, in the mode of Eighties shoulder-pad belters like Pat Benatar or Heart's Ann Wilson, which suits breakup songs like "Sweet Sacrifice" and "Call Me When You're Sober."

But Lee's greatness is her ordinariness. She still sounds like a very average Middle American girl who yearns to be "Good Enough" but who suffers from an above-average attraction to magnetic and destructive dudes. One of these dudes seems to be the Lord Himself ("Your Star"), and at least one other seems to be her ex-boyfriend from Seether. "Call Me When You're Sober" appears to be about the latter; "Sweet Sacrifice" is clearly aimed at Moody ("One day I'm gonna forget your name/And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain"); and "Lithium" is her ode to Kurt Cobain. How does one girl collect so many dangerous boys? Every time she leaves the house, she seems to run into some messianic skater dude who puts her on "Cloud 9" and makes her "Lose Control," until she ends up as "Lacrymosa," sobbing hysterically over a grand piano. But if Lee sometimes can't tell the difference between the Holy Spirit and the cute guy at the next locker, how does that make her different from any other high school girl? Or you, for that matter?

It definitely says something that the best songs on The Open Door are the creepiest. She identifies with a fan who's stalking her, in the seriously disturbed "Snow White Queen." She out-"Helena" 's "Helena" in the teen-death trip "Like You," where she eulogizes her dead sister: "I long to be like you/Lie cold in the ground like you." Obviously, Lee has got a touch of the magnetic and destructive herself. But that's what makes the breakup songs on The Open Door feel mighty real.

Sweet Sacrifice

It's true, we're all a little insane
But it's so clear now that I am unchained

Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds,
But it's taking over all the time

You poor, sweet, innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me -- don't deny,
Sweet sacrifice

One day, I'm gonna forget your name
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain

Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds,
But its taking over all the time

You poor, sweet, innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
And oh, you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice...

[I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
Erase the silence
Erase my life]

Do you wonder why you hate? [Our burning ashes]
[Blacken the day]
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes? [A world of nothingness]
[Blow me away]

You poor, sweet, innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me -- don't deny,
Sweet sacrifice


Call Me When You're Sober

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Should I let you fall
Lose it all
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't keep believing
We're only deceiving ourselves
And I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Couldn't take the blame
Sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated
No wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time
And you're too late

So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

You never call me when you're sober
You only want it 'cause it's over - It's over

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I? you were never mine

So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me
Just get your things
I've made up your mind


Weight Of The World

Feels like the weight of the world
Like God in Heaven gave me a turn
Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you
Still in the dark, can you fix me?

Free fall, free fall, all through life

If you love me, then let go of me
I wont be held down by who I used to be
She's nothing to me

Feels like the weight of the world
Like all my screaming has gone unheard
And oh I know you don't believe in me
Safe in the dark, how can you see?

Free fall, free fall, all through life

If you love me, then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be...

(mini solo)

If you love me, then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I was

If you love me, then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be...


Lithium

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Oh but God I want to let it go

Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me

I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow

Don't want to let it lay me down this time
Drown my will to fly
Here in the darkness I know myself
Can't break free until I let it go
Let me go

Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes

I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium, stay in love with me
Oh I'm gonna let it go


Cloud Nine

Cloud Nine - Evanescence
If you wanna live, let live
if you wanna go, let go
I'm not afraid to dream
To sleep, sleep forever
I don't need to touch the sky
I just want to feel that high, ooh
And you refuse to lift me

Guess it wasn't real after all, ooooh
Guess it wasn't real all along

If I fall and all is lost
It's where I belong

If you wanna live, let live
If you wanna go, let go
I'm never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender

Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along

If I fall and all is lost
It's where I belong

In a dream
Will you give your love to me
Beg my broken heart to beat
Save my life
Change my mind

If I fall and all is lost
No light to lead the way
Remember that all alone is where I belong


Snow White Queen

Stoplight lock the door
Don't look back
Undress in the dark
And hide from you
All of you

You'll never know the way your words have haunted me
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me
You don't know me
Now or ever

You belong to me, my snow white queen
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over
Soon I know you'll see, you're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you

Wake up in a dream
Frozen fear
All your hands on me
I can't scream
I can't scream

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep
I don't sleep

So you belong to me, my snow white queen
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over
Soon I know you'll see, you're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you

I can't save your life
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting
I'm losing my mind
And you just stand there and stare as my world divides

You belong to me, my snow white queen
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over
Soon I know you'll see, you're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you


Lacrymosa

Out on your own
cold and alone again
can this be what you really wanted, baby?

(Lacrymosa)
Blame it on me
(Dies illa)
set your guilt free
(Lacrymosa)
nothing can hold you back now

Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
grieving the things I can't repair and willing...

(lacrymosa)
To let you blame it on me
(Dies illa)
and set your guilt free
(Lacrymosa)
I don't want to hold you back now love

I can't change who I am
not this time, I won't lie to keep you near me
and in this short life,
there's no time to waste on giving up
my love wasn't enough

(Lacrymosa)
And you can blame it on me
(Dies illa)
just set your guilt free, honey
(Lacrymosa)
I don't want to hold you back now love
(Amen)


Like You

Verse 1:
Stay low...
Soft, dark, and dreamless
Far beneath my...
Nightmares and loneliness

I hate me
For breathing
Without you
I don't want to
Feel anymore for you

Pre-Chorus 1:
Grieving for you
I'm not grieving for you
Nothing real love can't undo
And though I may have lost my way
All paths lead straight to you

Chorus 1:
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you

Verse 2:
Halo
Blinding wall between us
Melt away and leave us alone again
Humming, haunted somewhere out there
I believe our love can see us through in death

Chorus 2:
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you

Verse 3:
You're not alone
No matter what they told you, you're not alone
I'll be right beside you forevermore

Chorus 3:
I long to be like you, sis
Lie cold in the ground like you did
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you

And as we lay in silent bliss
I know you remember me
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you...


Lose Control

You don't remember my name,
I don't really care,
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once,
With all the pretty flowers in the dust,

Mary had a lamb,
His eyes black as coals,
If we play very quiet, my lamb,
Mary never has to know,

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once

If I cut you down to a thing I can use,
I fear there will be nothing good left of you,

Ah-ah-oh-oh
Ah-ah-oh
Ah-ah-oh-oh
Ah-ah-oh

Just to lose control, just once...


The Only One

you know you're not the only one
When they all come crashing down- midflight
you know you're not the only one
when they're so alone, they find a back door out of life
you know you're not the only one

We're all grieving
lost and bleeding

All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me

So afraid to open your eyes- hypnotized
you know you're not the only one
never understood this life
and you're right, I don't deserve
but you know I'm not the only one

We're all grieving
lost and bleeding

All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me

Don't look down,
Don't look into the eyes
of the world beneath you
Don't look down, you'll fall down;
you'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong,
I can't hold onto the fear
that I'm lost without you
If I can't feel, I'm not mine;
I'm not real

All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me


Your Star

I can't see your star
I can't see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can't see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away

And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out

I can't see your star
I can't see your star
How can the darkness feel so wrong?

And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out

So far away
It's growing colder without your love
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence
It's breaking me

All my fears turn to rage

And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out now

Nothing worth fighting for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out


All That I'm Living For

All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night

I can feel the night beginning
Separate me from the living
Understanding me
After all I've seen
Piecing every thought together
Find the words to make me better
If I only knew how to pull myself apart

All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night
All that I'm wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door-
My ghosts are gaining on me

I believe that dreams are sacred
Take my darkest fears and play them
Like a lullaby
Like a reason why
Like a play of my obsessions
Make me understand the lesson
So I'll find myself
So I won't be lost again

All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night
All that I'm wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door-
My ghosts are gaining on me

Guess I thought I'd have to change the world
to make you see me
To be the one
I could have run forever
But how far would I have come
Without mourning your love?

All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night
All that I'm wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door-
My ghosts are gaining on me

Should it hurt to love you?
Should I feel like I do?
Should I lock the last open door-
My ghosts are gaining on me


Good Enough

Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough for you

Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
and I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
now I can't let go of this dream
can't believe that I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough
its been such a long time coming, but I feel good

and I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
pour real life down on me
cause I can't hold on to anything this good
enough
am I good enough
for you to love me too?

so take care what you ask of me
cause I can't say no
