I'd sum it up something like this.
If it were a brand new Evanescence song i'd think it was really good. As Justin says, Amy sings it really nicely and the music is quite haunting.
But, and here's the problem. It's a cover of one of the 'classic' songs and in comparison, well it just doesn't.
In a way for me The Chain is one of those songs that shouldn't be altered by 'inferior' bands. It reminds me of White Lion and their cover of Golden Earring's Radar Love. They played it straight, didn't alter the arrangements at all and for me it worked better as a cover than the Evanescence song does.
Anyway i'll stop typing bollocks as i'm rocking out to this.
