City Of Evil

Thought I liked avenged Sevenfold Guess not 2

I did enjoy it to begin with l, but some of the song lengths were a bit self indulgent

Musically I thought this was fine, with some genuinely excellent guitar work, but I really don't like the vocals. There are plenty of interesting things going on here, but some of these 7-9 minute songs could have been improved if they were just made shorter. It's just so self indulgent. I thought "Seize the Day" was fun in a Guns N' Roses-y kind of way. Fave Songs: Seize the Day, The Wicked End, Sidewinder

Heavy metal from the 2000s. Great time to be into terrible album covers and also terrible graphic t shirts. This album is an interesting choice as it’s not avenged sevenfolds most popular album. It does have bat country which was a classic from like nhl 2006 but other than that this album was filled too much of high pitched guitar solos and holding notes for way too long. This album isn’t that great overall and not the best A7Fold album. 4.6/10

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Burn it down, Bat country

Heavy metal, progressive metal, power metal, thrash metal, hard rock. Ni fu ni fa.

Metal is not my top genre though I don't mind d a little time to time and admire the technical prowess required. I was introduced Teresa's reading about the vocal training the lead did for a different vocal style - but found the results a little hit and miss. Too much Axle Rose nasal whine on a lot of it. Overall solid though and generally enjoyable.

As a guitar player, this one had some really fun technical elements but was sunk by its runtime and rigid adherence to only one sound across the entire LP. If you're going to make an hour+ album, instrumental dynamics and contrast are essential – the base sound here is great, but too much of a good thing would kill any musical effort.

An amazing album that perfectly expresses to the listeners exactly who this band is. Killer tracks, long-lasting impact in their respective era and genre, and all-around good heart-pumping music.
