I have all of their cds and I have listened to them evolve through time and I love them to death, but they are no evanescence how can you even compare the two. They are separated enities with similar sounds yes, but also separate. The Empty Spiral Fills Up | Reviewer: Luke | 5/2/06 Okay, we have gathered that Evanescence have ripped off Lacuna Coil, all was needed was one person to say it, not 3, this page is about reviewing Lacuna Coil, not slagging off Evanescence, despite the fact i feel the same, get over it. Lacuna Coil do not get enough praise for what they do it's simple. Also Cristina Scabbia, very fit yes, but she steals the thunder of everyone else purely for that reason which isn't fair as all 6 contributed to get LC to the heights they are at today. Also their cover of Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode (track 13 on Karmacode) is good. Come on people, get behind LC if you are a fan, see them getting the recognition. Some bands who aren't as good or who haven't made such achievements are already getting plaudits, and unnecessarily so, for example see Trivium, but i'm not going to do what everyone else does and take time to slag them of the LC's page. Enough said, rant over. Now breathe Right, lets get this straight | Reviewer: taranis | 4/24/06 If you're an idiot and you are incapable of loking up each bands history then you won't see a problem with Evanescence and think Lacuna coil may have ripped them off. The fact is: Lacuna have been going since at least 1994, and had records out by 1997/8 on. Evanescence RIPPED LACUNA COIL OFF. It doesn't matter how you paint it, what justification you try to use, They ripped them off wholesale, just like Stone Temple Pilots did Pearl Jam, and Feeder did Smashing Pumpkins. Just 'cos you weren't around or don't have the presence of mind to be able to check back as to what happened then DOESN'T mean it didn't happen. It's yet another case of the Corporate money-machine trying to gain new resources by foisting their own manufactured cloned bullshit on a genre they haven't been able to penetrate or control yet. It's worked too. What passes for metal these days is the stuff of boybands. Linkin park anyone? Are Evanescence not the Linkin Park version of Lacuna? They even dumb the song-structures down. Listen to Bring me to life, and you'll see that the guitar lines are one chord strummed over and over. The most basic power chords are used to simplify the work that bands like Lacuna Coil put in. The only reason it sounds different is because the label have a massive budget to plough into making all that sound HUGE. The only problem is, all the bands that are part of that sound the same way! Disturbed, Linkin Park, Drowning Pool, Evanescence. It's just Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson. You can even fit the chorus to "Backstreet's Back" over "one step closer". It doesn't take a genius to figure out that we should be somewhat dubious of the integrity and quality of any band that just becomes huge out of nothing these days. Lacuna have paid their dues by fucking working hard for the last 12 years. Evanescence don't deserve anything. Amazing | Reviewer: Celeste | 4/21/06 love lacuna coil. I'm into a lot of metal bands with female vocalists (say Nightwish, Epica, Evanescence and of course Lacuna Coil, if not I wouldn't be writing this review) and lacuna coil, although maybe theyre not my favorite band of all times, is a great addition to my CD collection, especially now it's winter in the southern hemisphere, where I live, and all these bands for some reason sound GREAT in winter!! (don't ask, I just FEEL it) OK enough ranting. All I have to say is lacuna coil is awesome music and I love it love it love it and I think Christina's voice is simply beautiful!! I wish they sold more of their CDs in my country, the only one they sell here is Comalies. Lacuna Coil Forever! | Reviewer: chris | 1/2/06 well i been afan since 2003. Lacuna coil music help me alot in my life same as evanescence. i dont think evanescence is copying Lacuna. I have all there cds and i love them to death... as again as Oni Me no Laharl. if you like evanescence you would love lacuna coil. Lacuna Coil: A band which should have the glory which Evanescence has. | Reviewer: Oni Me no Laharl | 8/24/04 Lacuna Coil is one of the bands which I fully recognize as the first Evanescence. their style of music is almost quite similar, especially in the older albums of both bands. Some may say the new Lacuna Coil Album, Comalies, was a "Evanescence Rip-Off" especially here in the Philippines. But... I bought it (thanks to my friend's suggestion) and I loved it better than my Evanescence album "Fallen" and it had its own signiture which makes it proudly state that its no rip-off. And besides, the band is older, more original. I love the female and male vocalist mixing and singing together. They make such a great team. The tunes were also nicely moody and harder rocking than Evanescence. Here is the Lo-down. If you like Evanescence, buy Lacuna Coil. I promise you will like them as much as Evanescence, if not even more. If you dont know Evanescence, and want to try something new, I suggest you buy them as well. I am not bashing anyone. I still like Evanescence, but I also like my Lacuna Coil. And its painful to see such a great band not being widely recognized especially here. Lacuna Coil... glory stolen by Evanescence. | Reviewer: Oni Me no Laharl | 8/24/04 First, before we begin, know that I like Evanescence. They were the first 'goth rock' bands I ever heard. They rocked, they sang, and Amy Lee was sexy. But... my friend suggested me LAcuna Coil, and out came the album... very late here in the Philippines. I listened, I sang, I was conquered. Many say LAcuna Coil is a rip-off band of Evanescence... I mean, they sound alike... except Lacuna Coil does it harder and better, and they have a female vocalist and almost the same rythm... but I strongly disagree. At first, I may have thought so... until I looked at the time when the latest albums "Comalies" of LAcuna Coil was out by 2002, and "Fallen" by Evanescence was out by 2003. That one year gap can conclude one thing. Lacuna Coil is not an Evanescence rip off... and it saddens me that a lot of people think this way. Please. If you guys have time to listen to your Evanescence album, get Lacuna Coil. You wont be disappointed. I LOVE LACUNA COIL!!! | Reviewer: Roberto Cataneo | 7/31/04 Lacuna Coil is one of my favorite music bands.
