"and they already made the stage with the rev, its called city of evil"
i...fail to see the comparison. city of evil is so much of a trad revivalist album even down to the fantasy lyricism (beast and the harlot... yes I know that's Biblical, that doesn't disprove my issue) that it's kinda annoying to me. the stage is a lot more fleshed out with more interesting stylistic stuff going on.

@venin the comparison is city of evil and the stage are easily the two most instrumentally similar albums in their discog, so how could the stage not be made with the rev if city of evil exists?
not to mention "save me" was also written by the rev, and mike portnoy plays rev's written parts pretty much verbatim except for the end. they easily make the stage with the rev.
not to discount brooks's contributions to the band but the only thing they wouldn't have made with the rev is hail to the king

I don't think it's masquerading as anything. It's just fun.

Oh shit they fixed the mix on Nobody. The drums aren’t comically loud now.

The Stage and City of Evil are two different albums completely. One is prog light while the other falls entirely into more classic heavy metal. I guess I shouldn't be so extreme in my opinion but Brooks is a much more interesting drummer.

You say Britney, I say Joan Jett
You say Lady Gaga, I say The Doors
You say Hannah Montana, I say The Rolling Stones
You say Owl City, I say Led Zeppelin
You say Justin Bieber, I say Queen
You say Taylor Swift, I say AC/DC
95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy & paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die!

Speaking of the Rev, the band talked about how they actually used some really old material written by him years prior to his death. Considering he did Pinkly Smooth with Syn, I'd say he probably had a lot of other batshit crazy ideas all the way to the black & white album and Nightmare. Either way, it's eerie how his finger prints are on this bands new material fourteen years after he passed on.

Brooks is beast but The Rev had those peeeerfect sections that I'll drum-hum forever like ~2:40 into Unbound

idk, feel like sidewinder, the wicked end, strength of the world etc. are just as prog as anything on the stage besides exist i guess. not to mention god damn, paradigm shift, even the t/t are just as classic heavy metal as stuff like bat country, beast and the harlot etc.
they are very similar to me except city of evil was made by a bunch of horny dudes in their 20s while the stage was made by a bunch of dudes who watched too much history channel on a low volume while their toddlers napped

I have to imagine that Synyster's continued input is one of the biggest reasons for the band's recent avant-garde elements. After all, he was usually the other one bringing the more experimental tendencies to their sound, alongside the Rev
