It’s strange to think that the Go! Team is apparently now popular enough to be featured on MuchMusic—sure, no one over the age of seventeen seems to watch the channel any more, but there are a LOT of seventeen-year-olds out there listening to Evanescence—but they’re the ones who are streaming Proof Of Youth a week before release. Initial impressions are that the album is very similar to Thunder, Lightning, Strike in both its general approach—a very good thing—and the recurrence of some familiar melodies and beats—not so much of a good thing. All in all, it’s good enough to make me wonder if maybe I should buy some tickets to that Opera House show on Halloween. Show #1 at Lee’s Palace was a raging success; show #2 at the Phoenix was scattered and generally full of people unwilling to so much as tap a foot. Third time’s a charm, maybe?
