If you like musicals on Broadway you will love it. If you are after heavy metal it will leave you wanting. Just like most of Avenged Seven fold albums. They are more like a musical than metal. They have the ability to rock hard if they want to. They prefer to play a unique way of sweet little riffs and some real good drumming from the rev, rest his soul. Mixed with their own way of rocking. I bought it for seize the day it is a good track. I don't really care for the rest of it.

This music is unbelievably awesome. I'm 49 yrs. old and have never heard such great talent. Avenged Sevenfold has a very large variety of sounds, even in each song. I have to admit, my daughter turned me on to this band or I probably would never have listened to them. The lead singers voice is beautiful and powerful. The guitarists make their music sound like it would be impossible to play, the drummer has Great stamina. It makes me feel positive and good to listen to their music even though many of the songs and lyrics are about pain and doubt, just because of my amazement that anyone has such extreme talent. My favorite song-because of the beautiful sound is, The Wicked End. M.I.A. is my second favorite, but I really love all the songs on this CD. I think this is Avenged Sevenfolds best Album. I already have my own, but bought this copy as a gift for a friend.Read full review
I have owned this CD since its very release as I have with all of AX7's CD since Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. This band started out as a SCREAMO band as I saw it so lovingly put and has transformed into a carbon copy of Iron Maiden mixed with Metallica since signing with Warner Bros. This CD has a very mid 80's heavy metal feel to it and is well orchestrated in many ways from beginning to end. Many fans of this band did not take well to M.Shadows singing voice compared to his old style and I myself did not as well. His voice holds its own as such tracks as Beast and the Harlot, Burn It Down and most noteable of all the on the tracks M.I.A. and the Wicked End but on many of the tracks he does not hold notes to well. What you get is a nasal whine that is the equivalent of Steve Urkel trying to sing a rock song. I love this band I am not bashing them at all and love this CD but for those that love this band listen to this for the guitar riffs and excellent creation that only a band this good could make, but for those that really love this band stick with Waking the Fallen.Read full review
Wow, what a suprise. I remember watching their earlier videos and thinking that they were nothing special, just another screamo band. Then I heard The Harlot and the Beast on Sirius and decided to pick up the cd. I was blown away. No screaming, complex arrangements, and great guitar solos! The solo to Bat Country is the most aggressive, in your face solo that I've heard in a long time. This reminds me a bit of Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction when it first came out. I understand a lot of old A7X fans were not happy with this new direction, but it's really more old school. I you are open minded, like 80s metal, power metal, prog-metal, or if you are tired of most of the emo-metal and nu-metal that is currently popular, you should dig this cd.
