Evanescence’s latest album Synthesis has landed in the Billboard Top 10, scoring the band their fourth top ten album of their career. Synthesis sold 34,000 equivalent album units in the week ending November 16, according to Nielsen Music, to land at position No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart. Of that sum, 30,000 were in traditional album sales. “I think our fans like it a lot. It’s a way to experience this music, for them and for us, in a different way,” Amy Lee says of the album’s support tour. “We’ve been playing the straight-up original versions of our songs for many years now. So to have an opportunity to go to a different venue for most of these shows, go to a concert hall, sit down and listen to it, it’s a lot more like going to a show, like going to a movie, than going to a rock concert where you’re gonna jump up and down and make noise. There are parts that are very intimate before it goes big and epic and 28 orchestral musicians are going off. So it’s a very personal experience. The reaction I’ve seen has been really good, but it’s definitely different. It feels still weird to us on stage, we’re getting completely used to it. It’s definitely not a rock and roll show, but I think it’s really special and I’m absolutely positive I’m gonna remember these performances and this very special experience for the rest of my life.” The new album is the group’s fourth top 10 effort, following Evanescence, The Open Door (No. 1 in 2006) and Fallen (No. 3, 2003).
