There will be two other snippets from the album this week, courtesy of MTVNews!

According to twitter and facebook, we'll get more on Wednesday and Friday.

EDIT - "Halfway Down the Stairs" is on Youtube now! Apparently Amy has been working on this song for a while. It will be featured on the Muppets Tribute Album released in November. The music is so weird and funky. I really kind of like it. More than that, Amy sounds amazing. The vocals are melodic, like they should be paired with a lullaby, then it's meshed with the music and it's like Wow, that's weird.

MTVNEWS Second Preview: The Other Side

New Track: The Other Side
Article
Video

Quote:
Originally Posted by MTVNews.com
A thunderous mix of double-bass drums, churning, chunky guitars and, of course, Lee's ethereal, widescreen vocals, "The Other Side" is the kind of song that starts big and only gets bigger, culminating in a chorus that's powerful enough to be measured in megatons. Like "What You Want," it's an aggressive track, but, as Lee pointed out, it may also be the best example of what she'd previously described as "fun." There's an elastic groove to the playing, a looseness that only comes from a band letting it all hang out.

"There's this element, this thing that we're doing that I can't really describe. We're just going to have to release the record and create an adjective [for it]," she laughed. "It's just ... 'musicianship.' We're enjoying playing, and the way that I'm singing, the way that I'm writing my vocals, it's not about the most dramatic expression of pain, it's like, 'I'm singing this because it feels really good to sing the melody that way.' And I think that song has both. It's beautiful and epic, but at the same time it's got that rocking vibe."

And in keeping with the overall theme of the album, "The Other Side" is very much a band song (there's a reason they're calling the new album simply Evanescence), the result of Lee working — and reworking — the track with her bandmates and producer Nick Raskulinecz. And while that process makes the song a definite departure for Evanescence, its subject matter — namely, death — is something Lee has been dealing with for years. Though, as is the case with pretty much everything on the new album, for the first time, she's tackling it in a different way.

I've got "What You Want" on repeat in my head, and it kills me that we only have that teaser piece! Can't wait to hear what they're going to show us next.

We know that "What You Want" will be the first single, but do you think "The Other Side" and the next teaser will be the singles released after that?

Also, it seems like the release date has been pushed back to October 11th.

This is AWESOME and seriously they are long over due to release something and so far the teasers are EPiC!!! I was worried that they'll have some drastic change = major flop (linkin park) but I still love them regardless
The Other Side sounds perfect to be a single imho

Final Track Preview From MTVNEWS.COM: "Lost in Paradise"

Article
Video

Quote:
Originally Posted by "MTVNews.com

But our third and final sneak peek is a little different. Because though "Lost in Paradise" features plenty of contributions from the other members of Evanescence, it is very much Amy Lee's song. And the emotional attachment she feels to it is readily apparent.

"That's the one that made us cry ... like, literally, just in here, working on it, there have been tears. I love that song," she told MTV News. "When I was writing it, it wasn't anything; it was just pure, it was just for me. I was literally just writing it for me, to soothe my own feelings by expressing them. And I just thought, 'Piano, vocals, I can record it by myself at my house, and that'll be the track. ... It'll be a B-side somewhere or something.'

"[But] then ... as we were working on other songs — focusing more on rock songs — I kept listening to it for fun, because it was mine, and I sent it to [producer] Nick [Raskulinecz] and I was like, 'I want you to listen to this. ... The more I listen to it, the more I think it means something,' " she continued. "And he, instantly, was like, 'We have to do that song.' And it was his idea to bring the band into it, and at first, I was totally like, 'I don't get that.' But once we did, it just blew the thing wide open, in a way I had never thought about before. It's perfect; it's meant to be the way it is."

Starting with little more than a somber piano and Lee's aching vocals, "Paradise" slowly builds, layering on stirring strings, booming timpani and, at the climax, some thunderous guitar chords. It is unapologetically epic and uncompromisingly raw, a song that manages to seem both all-encompassing and intimate, often at the same time. And because of that, it brings to mind rather unexpected comparisons to Björk's equally astronomic 1997 single "Jóga." And, no, Lee doesn't mind that one bit.
Yes...a Rock Ballad. It sounds amazing.

Rolling Stone Music: Evanescence's Amy Lee Thrilled to Return After Five-Year Break

The whole fame, celebrity, center of attention all the time thing, it’s not completely me. I’d rather be somebody’s friend and just be normal for a little bit. I needed to buy my own groceries for a little bit and not have a car and just be like every other New Yorker. So that was a big part of it, just me being me again without the Evanescence part."

But now, she's very happy to be back. "I sort of got away from that in my own heart and brain for a while," Lee says. "And to come back to it and have it just be, to me right now, better than ever, it feels great."

Seems like more of the same, just nice to see them in the news again.
