I thought that they hit a new ║ │ │║ low..becoming more Evanescence than ever. While the latter ║ │ │║ point still stands, the album grew on me after a couple of ║ │ │║ listens. It strays away from metal, sure, but were they ║ │ │║ ever close to metal after "Enter"? "Mother Earth" was more ║ │ │║ ambient than metal, "The Silent Force" showed the band ║ │ │║ entering the pop-rock area...but at least "The Heart of ║ │ │║ Everything" is heavier (which is at least a step in the ║ │ │║ right direction). ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The guitars are there, the drumming is heavier than ever, ║ │ │║ and the riffs are superb. The choruses are catchier and ║ │ │║ much more memorable than "The Silent Force". Within ║ │ │║ Temptation have established a "rock" sound, keeping all the ║ │ │║ choirs and orchestrations which were very frequent on their ║ │ │║ previous album and blending them in their now heavier music ║ │ │║ (two thumbs up for that). ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ One thing I didn't particularly like about "The Heart of ║ │ │║ Everything" is Sharon's vocals. Don't get me wrong, I love ║ │ │║ her voice. But I feel she could do more with it, like she ║ │ │║ did on "The Silent Force". Gone are those heavenly vocals ║ │ │║ on the previous album. Her voice is not more ║ │ │║ straight-forward, which, although very disappointing, fits ║ │ │║ perfectly with the new sound. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The albums kicks off with a killer track. "The Howling" ║ │ │║ starts with a typical Within Temptation intro, and is a ║ │ │║ very catchy track (commercial, yes, but by no means bad). ║ │ │║ The next track is the reason why I didn't give this album a ║ │ │║ 90. "What Have You Done" is a horrible, horrible track. ║ │ │║ It's as though Linkin Park exploded in those 5 minutes. The ║ │ │║ intro is promising (not the single version, that is), but ║ │ │║ as soon as the singing starts, it's horrid. "Frozen" falls ║ │ │║ in that same commercial trap, but it's bearable. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ From "Our Solemn Hour" onwards, the album doesn't fail to ║ │ │║ disappoint once. The title track is more or less one of the ║ │ │║ best Within Temptation songs I've ever heard. It's five ║ │ │║ minutes of pure beauty (opening music and all). "The Cross" ║ │ │║ and "Final Destination" are also fantastic tracks, with the ║ │ │║ latter being one of my personal favourites. "The Truth ║ │ │║ Beneath The Rose" is also marvellous...easily one of the ║ │ │║ most beautiful songs on this album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In conclusion, I don't regret purchasing this. It is easily ║ │ │║ one of the best albums by Within Temptation, and a step up ║ │ │║ from the previous two. It is also the last album to have ║ │ │║ ample symphonic elements. Worth purchasing (I'd stay away ║ │ │║ from any editions with bonus tracks, since the more of ║ │ │║ "What Have You Done" you listen to, the faster your ears ║ │ │║ will die) ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ Disc 1/2 │ │ -------- │ │ 1.
