I fail to see the point in Amy Lee continuing to produce the same limpid crap that has been every single one of her efforts since Fallen.
And that was a long time ago.
Perhaps she has some misguided sense of self entitlement ("I am a musician! Honest!") that continues to drive her to churn out this bland crap. Their sound (Back when it was good) has since been improved tenfold by We Are The Fallen. This band was basically a big "fuck you" to Amy Lee after her endless histrionics caused all the decent musicians in her once-great band to scarper... and then form a better band with that same gloriously miserable sound and a far superior vocalist.
Vitriol aside, Amy Lee fails to impress with these lacklustre, derivative singles. I'll still give the self titled album a listen - old habits die hard, and Evanescence was a childhood band almost as essential as Nirvana for me - but I will do so in the same way you approach cleaning up after your dog. You know it's going to be warm shit, but someone has to pick it up.
