I agree & dis agree with these other reviews,mostly dis agree.I appreciate the honest opinions but in contrast,I'll give mine.One first must realize the fact that the Rev is gone & what he brought to the band can't be replaced & that the band isn't trying to replace him either.So there's no need to critique every song of every album from here on out based on comparison to the Rev's drumming or songwriting.The guys are holding their own just fine! So... I've listened to the entire album probably 10 times & a few selected songs about 20 times a piece already & I can say in my honest opinion that this is going down as a classic A7X album.The songs are very well written & cleverly produced.The vocals are great & everyone brought their best efforts forth.My favorite tunes so far are,Requiem,Heretic & Hail to the King.I hear bits & pieces of their past tunes embedded in their new songs which is very clever! I also hear the old school metal influences like metalica,ACDC,Iron Maiden,GNR & Sabbath with this album.They were going for the old school metal sound with fat riffs & got it.They are evolving & maturing at their craft.I could get really detailed in this review,but it would require more time than I have.Advice,Buy this Album! I'm looking forward to my 3rd A7X show.
