BURN IT DOWN is great for the first two minutes but after that i feel its getting a bit boring (my opinion) i love BLINDED IN CHAINS although the part after 5 minutes shouldnt exist. it just doesnt fit with the rest of the song. BAT COUNTRY is simply an amazing song! the chorus and guitar riff are very catchy and igot this song stick in my head for a long time after i heard it. TRASHED AND SCATTERED is a very good song with a nice guitar riff at the beginning and the song remains good til the end. SEIZE THE DAY is in my opinion the worst song on this album. i cant stand m.shadows singing in this song and in burn it down. i know that he had been training with axl roses vocal coach but does that mean that he has to sound like axl??? no way. this song doesnt fit in with the rest of the album and it is boring. dsappointment. but after that SIDEWINDER is incredible! from the awesome guitar work at the beginning ntil the flamengo inspired acoustic solo at the end. simply epic! THE WICKED END AND STRENGTH OF THE WORLD keep it up with sidewinder. two incredible songs with great vocal and tempo changes. just awesome. every a7x should really appreciate these songs even if he is an old school avenged sevenfold fan(me included). BETRAYED is a good song but nothing special. ALTHOUGH IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE MEMORY OF DIMEBAG(R.I.P WE LOVE YOU!) MIA is a great song with nice melody changes from slow at the beginning to more heavy towards the ending. a great song to end a great album! so all in all 3.5 out of 5. and i want to mention that some songs semm far too long and are a bit boring after listening many times. but thats subjective. everyone have their opinions. i would recommend to any open mimded and not die hard metal fan to give this album a try. its worth listening to. (PS: if you listen to waking the fallen before this album dont get disappinted! i know that COE is not as great as WTF but its really good stuff. have a try! i hope you enjoyed my review.
