As a safety precaution, to ensure that the bipolar crocodiles of the sacred lake don't go apeshit on me, I'm refraining from mentioning Evanescence anywhere in this soundoff - with the exception of that one time right here. But getting down to the nitty-gritty, Within Temptation's The Heart of Everything is an ultimately likeable, solid album with really great arrangements and soaring, operatic vocals found within lead singer Sharon den Adel. Is it a cheese fest? Yeah, it's a bit sturdy in the corn department. Is the record itself worthy of being considered innovative as fuck? Nope, not exactly. Even with its relatively few obstacles (i.e. "All I Need" isn't nearly as effective a song as the tracks preceding it, while "What Have You Done" is a half-hearted excuse for a closer), Within Temptation's amalgamation of that blatant Goth aura and the overall hard-edged musical style is surprisingly nice on the ears. It's certainly telling that they're better about this than at least some of their contemporaries within the genre. Well-executed songwriting abilities, a little diversity every once in awhile, and Sharon's aforementioned heavenly voice make The Heart of Everything an awesome (if not generic) record.

All the songs on this 4th album of Within Temptation are pure masterpieces. I think the best are:
The Heart of Everything
Hand of Sorrow
The Cross
The Truth Beneath The Rose

A suprisingly excellent album.The band has improved very much from The Silent Force.The symphonies are lowered, everything sounds much better, with Sharon's superb performance on all songs. There is no bad song on this one, I recommend you The Howling , The Cross, Hand of Sorrow, Our Solemn Hour.
