Title track and closing are a little of everything they've done. The stars here are Syn and the new drummer.

That acoustic passage in God Damn was a hard City of Evil throwback

City of evil and fallen are the only a7x albums worth a damn tbh

Album Rating: 4.0

S/t is underrated af

Album Rating: 2.0

Yeah the summary says it all. I was always a Disturbed kid anyway.

S/T was my favorite album of all time in middle school, it's a shame how much that album has grown off me. Critical Acclaim used to be my favorite a7x track but Shadow's vocals/lyrics now make it unbearable to me. Dear God was never one of my favorite tracks to begin with, but my complete dislike of it today comes from reasons outside the song itself. Those are the only two shit tracks on that album to me, although the lyrics on every track range from mediocre to very very bad and bring the album down a shit ton because of the amount of emphasis they put on them. Still like Afterlife quite a lot though, and The Rev kills it per usual.

Actually never heard the St

Ohhhh wait, yes I did. Idk, it has like 3 great songs but it's garbage come on

It's Avenged Sevenfold at their most experimental but at the same time their most mainstream.

Album Rating: 4.0

S/t is just a really fun and overall well made rock album

I remember trying to give it chance and yeah some songs were ok but I was not a fan. It sounded pretty awful for most of it

City of Evil is garbage. Can I get a Hell Yeah!!!??!?!?!?

Hell nah

Corrected my rating for this

Never really listened to these guys. I kinda like this tho. I also really like his voice. I might be alone in that based on the comments I read through.

City Of Evil has some pretty dope tracks.

Goddamn did they really need that long ass quote at the end of "Exist"? They should have put in another "ambient" section towards the end and put the quote over that instead.

Finally listening to this. t/t is still way too long and personally not a great starter song but I'm liking it more than the first time. Probably because I went back to some of their albums before giving this a chance.

The production on this is fucking weird. For one, it's kinda dry and "flat," like it lacks both low-end punch and treble air up top.

Shadows' voice sounds out of phase sometimes, like the different frequencies in his voice project forward through the soundstage at different rates. His voice doesn't sound "coherent," like how light breaks into it's component wavelengths when it shines through a prism. His voice is doing the same thing, only with sound frequency rather than light.

The whole soundstage is weird. It's really cramped and planar rather than being open and three-dimensional. Like it has very little sepration left-to-right and almost no depth or height.

Yeah I could hear a lot of minor effects on his vocals as well as some really unnecessary panning in some spots. In addition to it's lack of punch, the album just seems abnormally quiet in general.

I'm really noticing the abnormal quietness to it. That's bugging the hell out of me. The production overall just doesn't sound finished.
