这张《Fallen》是哥特新军Evanescence在主流厂牌发行的首张大碟。《Bring Me to Life》和《My Immortal》被选入了电影《Daredevil》的原声。专辑中所有的歌曲都由Amy Lee和Ben Moody主创。浑厚略带沙哑的嗓音，宽广的音域，多变的音色，这位颇有才华的女主唱独特的唱腔与当年刚出道时的Tori Amos有颇多相似之处。
本张专辑的风格可以说是Alternative Metal(另类金属)与Goth Metal(哥特金属)的一个综合体。在本专辑的歌曲中，Amy Lee的唱功得到了很好的发挥，无论是在《Bring Me To Life》中运用自如的高音部分，还是在《Whisper》中低声的吟唱，都使我们不得不肯定其扎实的歌唱功底。在本张专辑中，Evanescence乐队的整体音乐包含了Goth与Alternative的共同特点，但是在Goth方面，Evanescence却未达到传统意义Goth的那份境界，我们可以听到Evanescence的缥缈，当我们刚想沉浸其中，像大多数新金属一样的简单旋律便会突如其来，占据着歌曲的后半部分。因此，如果Evanescence能够坚持自身特点，并能使乐队风格更加鲜明的话，她们就会在不久的将来成长为一颗更为耀眼的rock star 。
Fallen is the major-label debut of Evanescence, a Little Rock, AR-based quartet led by the soaring vocals of 20-year-old Amy Lee. Emboldened by the inclusion of its single "Bring Me to Life" on the soundtrack to the hit film Daredevil, Fallen debuted at an impressive number seven on Billboard's Top 40. But "Bring Me to Life" is a bit misleading. A flawless slice of Linkin Park-style anguish pop, it's actually a duet between Lee and 12 Stones' Paul McCoy. In fact, almost half of Fallen's 11 songs are piano-driven ballads that suggest Tori Amos if she wore too much mascara and recorded for the Projekt label. The other half of the album does include flashes of the single's PG-rated nu-metal ("Everybody's Fool," "Going Under"). But it's the symphonic goth rock of groups like Type O Negative that influences most of Fallen. Ethereal synths float above Ben Moody's crunching guitar in "Haunted," while "Whisper" even features apocalyptic strings and a scary chorus of Latin voices right out of Carmina Burana. "Tourniquet" is an anguished, urgent rocker driven by chugging guitars and spiraling synths, with brooding lyrics that reference Evanescence's Christian values: "Am I too lost to be saved?/Am I too lost?/My God! My tourniquet/Return to me salvation." The song is Fallen's emotional center point and defines the band's sound.
