Product Description

We made this record for the 18- to 25- year-old kid who just wants to blast some heavy shit out his window something you can groove to and rock out to that means something. There s no glitz or glamor just a heavy-hitting record that encompasses all of Avenged Sevenfold. It s a record that new fans
and old fans will love. M. Shadows
The debut major-label album from
Avenged Sevenfold (aka A7X), 2005's
City Of Evil, earned gold (817,640 copies sold to date), shot to Top 30 Pop and won the band Best New Artist at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. For the selftitled follow-up, the band gets even harder and heavier. Avenged Sevenfold, the group's first album to be self-produced, is head-banging heaven.

Avenged Sevenfold's fourth full-length is little more than a workaday hard rock record replete with songs tailored for the innards of hockey rinks and basketball arenas. The nu-metal bellowing and angst-filled posturing quickly wear thin, rendering tracks such as "Scream" and "Afterlife," and the opening "Critical Acclaim," nearly interminable. Sure, "Gunslinger," "A Little Piece of Heaven," and "Dear God" offer some variation and each holds a few interesting ideas but there's nothing here that hasn't already been tried by My Chemical Romance, Nightwish, Buckcherry, or Bon Jovi. A credible but ultimately failed effort. --Jedd Beaudoin

Customer Reviews

Awesome!
I think that this is a great album. Granted, at first, I was a little unsure of it because it is quite a bit different from past albums. But after listening to the whole album, I loved it. "Critical Acclaim" is an amazing song. The fact that they were able to not only write a political/patriotic song, is great. What's even better about it is that what they are trying to say is the truth, and I think most people would agree with it. The fact that they wrote it and wrote it extremely well is great. "Gunslinger" and "Dear God" are also amazing songs and two of my favorites. "A Little Piece of Heaven" is my absolute favorite on the entire album. It sounds completely different than anything that they've ever done, and I think it's a song that really stands out. Anyone that loved Avenged's past albums should love this one too.

some sick music
The self titled album that avenged sevenfold put out was just awesome with it's cool orchestra in many songs and some wicked guitar playing. Previous albums by A7X were boring and similar, but this album really told a story in each song. and i would definetly recommend this album to anyone. BUY IT!!!!

They are the best
