Wow, this band is really metal. I’m surprised that Hopeless put this release out, as it doesn’t sound like anything else on their roster. Good for them, I guess, diversification is always good. First reactions aside this is a really good band that I have been digging ever since I put the CD in my stereo for the first time.

if you don't like this record, you are FUCKED. this band rocks!!! anyone who likes metal or punk rock NEEDS to have there stuff!!! i heard them a while back and ive been a die hard fan since!! I WILL ALWAYS B LISTENING 2 THEM!! 'Streets' is a cover from Successful Failure. bah th tracks are too long. anything over 2 mins n i get bored when i first started to listen to this cd i thought it was going to be pretty good but once i got into it, i realized it is a pretty dumb ass cd, this is a great cd. he has an awesome voice, some of the songs have good startings and end dumb, but great ban, great cd. This band is bullshit. I only bought this album today along with the second album waking the fallen but fuck how good is this album!!! There isn't a song I don't like on the album, I enjoyed it all the way to the end, man this album kicks ass!!! Buy it now if you don't have it. kick ass album. thats all i gotta say!! Yeah, this album is great, I personally think they are fairly original, kinda a mix between Slayer and hardcore punk. Good stuff. Holy shit this band is one of the most original to come around in ages! Ive seen them 3 times now and will be checkin them out with The Unseen in 16 days! I cant wait! oh jesus i love this cd. i finally gor around to picking it up, about a year and a half late... oh well. i want to see them live so incredibly fucking bad, and i cannot wait for the August 26 release. its gonna top this... Rumors of Avenged Sevenfolds live show should be saluted...they are true. I saw them and was blown away. Their live show definetely compliments their music well...they are both astonishing in their own right. I am looking forward to seeing them in September and anxiously anticipating their new release, "Waking the dead" (August 26). Their first full length release was great, but not complete, I hope their follow up can fill the gaps. This cd is fucking amazing, you cant beat the beginning of We come out at night. I must say though, the song Thick and Thin is pretty fucking horrible. But all in all, I love this album and I'm looking forward to their new release. Great cd. But to clear something up, the female vocals on The Art Of Subconscious illusion are not done Candace from Walls of Jerico. The Agora in Cleveland? I saw them play at the Grog Shop in Cleveland in July I think to a crowd of seriously fifteen kids who were predominately there to see local bands. Avenged Sevenfold was incredible though. I like the lyrics, but I can admit that they're not incredibly profound. But you have to take into account that the oldest member of the band is 21, and the rest are 19 and 20 and that they probably recorded a lot of this material when they were maybe 17 and 18. Give these guys a few more years to mature and you may change your mind. I wish I was seeing them tomorrow at Mushroomhead's Halloween show at the Agora *sigh*. I grew up listening to EBHC reminiscent of AFI and grew bored of them after All Hallow's EP. Fortunately, A7X came around and rejuvenated my hardcore taste. I heard "Darkness Surrounding" and loved the mix of melody and screaming. I searched for the CD far ad wide and finally found it. Then I got to see them play at the Agora, which blew my mind and will go down in history as one of the best shows ever. I love this band, they mean a lot to me. Zacky Vengence is a great guy and guitar player and M. Shadows is a sick man..the dude played piano on "Warmness of the Soul". He is very gifted and talented. If you are boneheaded enough to think that this release sucked then open up your fucking mind. Heavy fucking metal forever. Like: the cd Reminds me of Poison the Well/FATA.. but, regardless I enjoy it. everything is better when you get it free, and i still didn't like this disc. i got both this and the new thrice and avenged sevenfold hasn't been in my player since. thrice is a regular visiter to my in-dash, A 7fold bored me. i'll give it another whirl in a couple months, maybe a current mood thing... I liked this album at first, but lyrically this is shit. I mostly got it just for the cameo Candace from Walls of Jericho does on one of the tracks (me = huge WOJ fan) but that was kind of disappointing. Really forgettable album. i really like what i heard from this band. hardcoreto the max. havent heard the album but saw them open for the lawrence arms and hated them. When he sings, he sounds like Jamie from the Stereo. It's too funny for words. the one on good life recordings was redone i believe for hopeless... so the new one sounds way better (or i could just be full of shit) When the vocalist actually sings on this CD, he sounds like one of the joke voices from South Park for crying out loud. Besides that, I really like it though. The copy I have was released on good life recordings though, I guess Hopeless just bought the rights to the CD or something. that song of them that play on the Hopeless web site is damn good ! Cool.. |
