Along with old-school Backstreet Boys and Britney, Evanescence is a major guilty pleasure of mine.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/the-open-door-2006-by-evanescence/ Autorotation Everything is Everything 2009, TeknoStan Records electronic dreampop I'll admit that I'm a hesitant electronica listener, at best - I fancy guitars and pianos way too much to give them up. But there are times where an electronica album will come out of no where and basically hit me upside the head, which is what I experienced with Autorotation's Everything is Everything.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/everything-is-everything-2009-by-autorotation/
