"I hope you all love the record, I know I do, but just one tip about it- each song really has a life of its own. It would be impossible to judge the record on one song alone. Some are much heavier than we've ever been before, some more soulful, some more fun- the only word that really describes all of them is "more." ...as I'm reading this I still think its all meaningless without hearing the album. Just be open minded, because I wasn't aiming to give people what they expect."
"I actually designed the album cover. I drew the door, and there's this waterfall - I'm gonna put it online, I keep meaning to do it but I've been so busy. But, I drew it and I showed it to my manager who showed it to the label and was like, this is my vision for the album, she's walking out the open door and I want to call it The Open Door. And when I showed up to the photoshoot, I thought we were just going to find a big door but they'd actually recreated and drawn a full scale picture of the door I had drawn!"[31]

But whatever its flaws, and however much EVANESCENCE has changed in the past four years (after all, they started originally as more or less a half-assed Christian duo),this is the version of the band that should stick around. Haters will hate (especially around here) all they want, but this is a fine commercial hard rock album fronted by a female vocalist on top of her game. Will the band repeat the success its earlier incarnation had three years ago? The door is open.
