I like how the female vocal part on G sounds straight off of Tyler The Creator’s Boy Is a Gun or some shit.

Album Rating: 5.0

Death has been creeping up my list. Honestly might be my favorite behind Cosmic. Those orchestral bits paired with that guitar lead sound sinister asf.

Agreed

i can 100% see the vocals being offputting but they grew on me

Album Rating: 3.5

Don't even think the vocals on here are *that* bad. The Stage can become pretty grating though. Definitely not perfect but there's a ton of character in the vocals on this, which I'd personally take over boring ass pitch perfect singing.

Album Rating: 5.0

The vocals here are better than The Stage for sure imo. The bigger problem (on both albums) is just the shitty mix imo

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Tbh the mix here has character. It feels more distinctly them as opposed to a completely overproduced thing.

Album Rating: 4.0

There's an interview with Shadows were he says the mixing was intentional and they wanted to go down a more natural route without using samples on drums etc (I'm pretty sure there are samples used here though, definitely were on The Stage)



Agree this has more character, I dig it tbh

fucking casual background music listeners are brainwashed by modern quantized, lifeless productions to attack anything that sounds even remotely like a human worked on it. its a sad state of affairs, really. as i understand it Avenged Sevenfold were always about naturalistic sounding performances and production.

Album Rating: 5.0

IDK the frequency gap between the guitars and bass really hurts this imo, the guitars are a pushed too much towards higher frequencies and it makes it a little bit fatiguing to listen too. Obviously it's not that big of a deal or I wouldn't have this as a 5 but the mix/production could have 100% been better and parts of the album would hit so much harder with a better mix.

Album Rating: 5.0

just turn the stereo up lol

I'll excuse my gripes with the mix because on the other hand the mastering is much better than what current pop/rock/metal artists typically have (could've treated Cosmic a bit better tho, guess somebody feared the ballad wouldn't have been "competitive" or something) and on top of that the music musics ahrd
