Good Enough

Friday, November 16, 2007

A look at Evanescence on paper reveals a band that should be in its glory. Following a best new artist Grammy Award for 2003 debut studio album "Fallen," a Billboard 200 No. 1 debut for 2006 follow-up "The Open Door" and the top 10 launch single "Call Me When You're Sober," the group toured the world for nearly a year. So what happened? Single follow-ups "Lithium" and "Sweet Sacrifice" never even charted in the States. The fourth single from "The Open Door," piano-driven rock ballad "Good Enough," is as intense and affecting as anything before it—and this time, Lee's lyric steps from the dark side, reveling in the relief of positivity: "It's been a long time coming, but I feel good enough." It's a make-or-break moment for a band that seemed to own the world one year ago. —Chuck Taylor
