  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've not really listened to Plumb that much, but to say that they are a "Fake Evanescence" may be going a little to far. I thought that they (Evanescence) sounded neat at first, but then I began listening to the words of their songs. They are really sad and not uplifting at all. I see and hear enough sad things already.

Well, considering Plumb (as a band) started recording music in the mid 90s (remember "Damaged", even though that's from '99?), I wouldn't say it's a ripoff of Evanescence. Yes, this is more dramatic than "Damaged" was, but it's not something I wouldn't expect.

If you don't remember the original, you might remember the dance cover of "Damaged" recorded by Plummet (real original, I know), which was popular on the mainstream charts back in 2001/2.

Fake Evanescence. Besides it sounds like she's saying/wailing "I can do this, I can do this by myself!"

Plumb's been around way before Evanescence...I'd even bank on Evanescence never putting out a decent record ever again.
Tiff continues to rocks!

I think she's supposed to sound that way, like the desperation you get when you know you need God to help you. I think the way she sings it drives home the point of the song.

Who knows, maybe the wording of the word can't could be hinting at the fact we need to know it's God working in us, and what do we have that we didn't recieve from Him.Like when we think its us its Him anyway, and then when we realize we have nothing in ourselves- that is when He can really do something.:bow:

probably not! shame though! still really like their album.

As for plumb, I have heard them several time, pretty cool. I like! But i will admit to similarities between the two?

You have got to , it is unmissable, however as you said, I wouldnt quite say Plumb took inspiration from Evanescence.

Listening to the Plumb song while typing this, and actually, i really like it ! V

NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!
The song [I can't do This]is copying Evanescence. I don't think that her other stuff sounds like them.
Now I think Eowyn got her inspiration from Evanescence. If you don't believe me, listen to her stuff yourself!;)
