This album is a bit of a stinker as far as i'm concerned, and many
people here agree with me, i know. really no need to re-hash this
discussion. But I gave it another listen in light of yesterday's sad
news... | | 1 | Avenged Sevenfold
Critical Acclaim
Just about everything in this song is win. Easily the best song they've put
out since "Waking the Fallen", and one of the few since "City of Evil" that
doesn't need to be bailed out by a pretty solo (altho it is admittedly pretty
sweet). Shadows vocals don't feel goofy, probably because he's not really
singing the verses...he's almost rapping, and oddly enough, it works. The
political angle of the song, usually the kiss of death for musicians in my
opinion, seems well executed, and those lyrical asides seem move the song
along instead of breaking up its progression... Can't really say it fits with
anything else they've put out...not really metalcore, not really faux-
metalcore, not really radio-rock... its peculiar but it just might be their
masterpiece had it come out years before (people seem uncomfortable with
that concept now that the band has turned, this i know...) | | 2 |
A Little Piece of Heaven
Sounds like they were covering MCR. not in sevenfold's stylebook, which
might be why I liked it. | | 3 | Afterlife | | 4 | Brompton Cocktail | | 5 | Unbound (The Wild Ride) | | 6 | Lost
autotune suckage | | 7 | Scream
the epitome of overproduced. this sounds like it should be in a videogame | | 8 | Gunslinger
lol vocals | | 9 | Almost Easy
just sad how some fans embraced this. really nothing redeeming you can
say about this song (solo i guess would make an ok ringtone) | | 10 | Dear God
one of the worst things i have ever heard. easily. Hearing this the first time
reminded me of hearing "Circle" by slipknot i don't know if anyone can
relate. | |

I just really hate Scream and Dear God. Brompton Cocktail, Afterlife, and Critical Acclaim are excellent though. | theacademy
12.30.09 | yeah i think "brompton cocktail" and "afterlife" would fit in quite well on city of evil | Chewie
12.30.09 | I remember thinking these guys were cool before I came on sputnik. When I did I was just told they sucked and never listened to them in depth for myself. I think I should. Bye. | theacademy
12.30.09 | don't internalize everything u read on sputnik, bro. unless it's coming from me. and unless its about hollywood undead being better than radiohead or some other retardedness. | JWT155
12.30.09 | I take into account what people like on here but if I like something I listen to it, enjoy it and don't give two shits what anybody else thinks. I may like stuff others may hate but that creates who you are instead of conforming to what everybody else likes. | TRMshadow
12.30.09 | I too am partial to "A Little Piece of Heaven", sick concept though. | Chewie
12.30.09 | A lesson I have greatly learned ^_^ | bloc
12.30.09 | 6 and 9 are my favourites | theacademy
12.31.09 | i remember when I first heard "Scream." it was the first song after 'Critical Acclaim' and 'Almost Easy' that I heard... played it at one of the spike awards shows (cant remember if it was the horror one or the video game one). was all like 'wtf mate' song sux. | robertsona
12.31.09 | good thing the guy died so maybe theyll break up | TheSpirit
12.31.09 | Brompton Cocktail should be 1. The opening guitar riff is so groovy. | ziroth
12.31.09 | scream is friggin awful and that last song don't remember the name...well they're all perty bad tbh | TheSpirit
12.31.09 | Waking the Fallen is amazing so thats okay. City of Evil was alright but the vocals really killed IMO. | BallsToTheWall
12.31.09 | Album gets too much shit. Tracks I dig here are 1,2,3,4,5,7,9. Order is

12.31.09 | Only thing I didn't like about City of Evil was the album dragged on for way too long, a lot of the songs could've been trimmed down imo. |
