yeah especially going in as a non-fan seeing the singles and the reaction and being like "Yeah that band sucks anyway no shit, this must REALLY suck if the fans don't even like it" and then actually hearing and enjoying the album, pretty wild time.

yeah ive never thought this could possibly happen but this might be the best new album ive heard in at least a year, it feels like something truly big.

feeling a light to solid 5.

Almost definitely gonna bump this to a 4 at least, the vocals still holding it back from anything that high though.



still mad and surprised it's so good.



One of my favorite quotes about this band is from way back in an interview with Horse the Band, the singer was like "People always ask if we're a joke band and like we obviously don't take ourselves very seriously and have some songs about silly things but I think the music is pretty obviously serious? Those guys in A7X call themselves shit like M. Shadows and Synyster Gates and nobody asks THEM if THEYRE serious" Also adding that they had toured with them and they were nothing but super nice dudes, so no shade.

god the ending of Death is so good. I’m glad they went all in on the orchestral stuff, it adds so much to the record.

This will probably end up my second favorite after City of Evil. It's really fucking cool.



Also not enough people talking about Easier. A lot of fun and that opening verse riff is touuuugh

Most don't deny their technical prowess they just despise the vocals

I think the general dismissal goes beyond a Billy Corgan thing but fair

Hail to the king was such a embarassing attemp to create safe radiorock that it completely skewed the general perspection of this band. Even the two albums before that had way too much of that going on. So seeing them as sellouts and avoiding their music seemed logical. Now they seem to be full of ideas, which is great.

my experience with avenged sevenfold prior to a few weeks ago was clicking on one of their albums when browsing through a nu metal youtube channel in 2012~, thinking to myself "wtf this isn't nu metal", and "why is the sound quality such shit? it can't really sound like this", before clicking on something else



that was all i had to go on
