Origin is the first demo album by the American rock band Evanescence. It was self-released[1] in 2000 approximately 50 copies were made.[2] The Bigwig Enterprises website sold the demo album in limited numbers.[3]
Background
Manufactured by a friend, this rough-draft full-length debut had only a few thousand copies made of the album and were being sold for US$400 on eBay immediately following Fallen's release.[4] Although it is commonly referred to as a full-length album, lead vocalist and co-founder Amy Lee refers to it as a "dressed up" demo CD, and urges fans to simply download the album, rather than purchase it.[5][6]
It contains earlier versions of "Whisper", "Imaginary", and "My Immortal", which appeared on the band's debut studio album, Fallen, as well as a re-recorded version of the track "Where Will You Go", which previously appeared on the Evanescence EP released in 1998. Three tracks were omitted: "Catherine",[2][7] "Spanish", and "Listen to the Rain". [citation needed]
Release
Origin was released commercially for the first time in December 2016 as a part of The Ultimate Collection vinyl box set.[8]
Singles
"Whisper" was released as the lead single from Origin, and was also released on their debut album Fallen.[9]
"Lies" was released for airplay in the summer of 2000, before Origin was released.[10] [citation needed]
"Even in Death" was released later in a compilation called The 7Ball Gas Collection – Volume 25.[11]
Critical reception
Spin magazine's Melissa Maerz graded the album two out of five stars and wrote, "Manufactured by a friend, this rough-draft full-length debut features stripped down versions of Fallen hits such as 'Whisper' and 'My Immortal'."[4]
