Rock-Critic Mashups from the La-Z-Boy, No. 5: Evanescence

A couple days ago, we razzed Jon Bream for somehow finding out what Evanescence singer Amy Lee was wearing during a recent telephone interview. Today, the Strib's Deacon of Rock Criticism finally finds the words to describe Sunday's big show at First Avenue. And we think the way he describes his beloved.. well, it ranks right up there with the World's most remarkable rock-critic mashups. See for yourself:
Coming across like a love child of Meat Loaf and Tori Amos -- with Ozzy Osbourne as baby sitter -- Lee concocts a dark, heavy mash-up of metal, classical and piano balladry.

Extra points for actually using the word "mash-up"! Is the Strib's music department undergoing some sort of renaissance--or just spending too much time on MySpace.com like the rest of us?
