Waking the Fallen and to an extent City of Evil are boring and honestly useless attempts to break into the music industry. But this album changes it. Avenged Sevenfold finally release a coherent album that doesn't involve ear-bursting singing, over-the-top guitars and disgusting choruses. This album has all the aspects a good metal album should have; Awesome vocals, gutsy guitars and a thumping bass-line. The only downside to the album is the drumming, which frankly, lacks effort. Musically and structurally, this is their best work. M.Shadows sounds better than ever, his voice creating a new bar line that even towers upon the likes of James Hetfield. Shadows finally invokes a new technique of singing. Some call it whiny. I call it genius. His new style of singing can be heard best on Critical Acclaim. The choruses have changed, and for the better. There are less of that nuisance called 'breakdowns,' and now the choruses are catchy and lyrically superior. Almost Easy and Afterlife contain some of these exemplary choruses. The guitar extraordinaire Synyster Gates is screwing his guitar much like I would like to screw Mila Kunis. Solos surround the listener, and it's hard not to be slightly unnerved by some of the guitar-work weaved in by Zacky and Syn. The breakdown on Critical Acclaim exemplifies Syns status as 'the greatest guitarist of all time,' and to be honest, this is a well-deserved title. The drumming is horrible, the guitar awesome, and the singing at an all-time high, this album is the best of the best.
