Avenged Sevenfold

I know this would be a moot point to most of the raber's out there since they think A7X is trash in general, but I've heard their newest single and it's the only song I've heard by them that I've disliked. MOR tripe that they shouldn't be writing.
 
Anyone heard the few songs of the new album?

City of Evil was a bit too sell-out for me (but then again, i'm actually the type that doesn't get bothered with mainstream) but i thought it was still a decent album.

But this new album sounRAB different from all their previous albums, and I like it. Can't get enough of Critical Acclaim.

Anyone heard it yet? What you think?
 
I never thought Shadow's voice was bad imo....I just accepted it the way it is....I always paid more attention to the guitars solos and the drum work anyways. City of Evil was most definitely better than their last album but I liked their last one also except for that country song they had to throw in there with twang and everything...geez.
 
A lot of people only respect Dimebag because he's dead. I'll be frank and say that Chuck Schuldiner deserves a lot more respect, and honestly I think the fact that Pantera was amazing had a lot more to do with Anselmo's vocals and the way the band wrote relatively simple but very effective songs. I could play almost anything Rex Brown or Vinnie Paul did in Pantera but that doesn't mean I could write it. And if you ask me, Anselmo was arguably the best metal vocalist in the past couple decades.

I appreciate you trying to actually have a dialogue with me about this, and I realize how hypocritical it is for me to say it, but there's really no point in discussing this since you and I will never convince each other that a7x has decent or terrible music. I'm just sharing my opinion on how awful I think they are, and each response by people like TheReverend just drives home exactly why.
 
I think Avenged is alright. I have two albums and they're both pretty good, but I like M. shadow's older vocals better in some ways. Still can't really complain though because the guitar players are freakin' genius...
 
i don't really like them. they seem over rated to me. i like Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall a lot more.

\m/ band your head!!!! :banghead:
 
Read my introduction and you will see why I argue and everything tehe. but nah I do like some of A7X's stuff it's just that alot of their music sounRAB the same to me.
 
It's whatever.
I actually don't think they're more br00tal because they are more deathcore.
I'm not some durab scene kid.
Their newest CD is more on the deathmetal side anyway. Even though it is still deathcore. (I don't favor metal anyway)
People are just so easily offended these days. Whatever, it's over and done with.
 
anybody have any opinions on this band? i really like them i never used to, its hard to get used to his voice its not exactly what you'd call normal
