Well ive tried as hard as i can but i just cant seem to understand all the stick these guys are getting for this album, because it honestly is truly awesome. Thsi is some of the best guitar and drumwork ive heard in while and hey u gota give them credit thier vocal works unique like or not. So i'am not gonna you a track by track review but ill tell you expect whwn you pop this album into your cd player. I think we all know and have heard enough about Matt blowing a vein in throat but theres no point denying it has had a major influence on their music, lots of debate about wether they are even metal anymore never mind metalcore. Well its very hard to define a particular metal genre especially one as wide as metalcore, bust rest assured avenged sevenfols are metalcore.Simply because matt doesnt scream doesnt these guys cant put thier pedal ot the metal and rock. To be honest a7x have learned thier traits from the best of the likes of metallica and judas priests and perfected it. One thing that has always impressed about them is thier Lyrical prowess, these guys can write. From waking the fallen till City of evil thier theme has been consistent. In city of evil they excelled i this field some of the lyrics where mezmerizing for example take a track like sidewinder, matt sings from the perspective of snake truly amazing you have to hear to believe it. The wicked end is also brilliantly at one point theyre lyrics are dazzling-"toss the apple il savour each bite".strenght of the world is another lyrically wondeerfull clocking in a more than 9 minutes,good value for time. These are probably the 3 songs where a7x lyricall ability is really outlined. The othewr tracks are just as speciall but one thing that catches my ear so to say are the bridges in the tracks, they have this epic feel about them s if you where listening to power metal. for example in songs like burn it down, blinded inchains and sieze the day id have to say those 3 pose the best bridges ive ever listened to. So all in all they are a very misunderstood banf adn i feel the criticisms come from unjustly as these guys are truly gifted.My only concern would be the way their sound progresses over time its important they dont go to soft or they may slip off the metal cliff. Standout songs have to -Sieze the day
-the wicked end
-strenght of the world
