Avenged Sevenfold-Avenged Sevenfold

Let me make one thing clear-I've always loved this guys and this album just deepens my love for them but I don't seem to understand why people despise "Avenged Sevenfold".They've got amazing riffs,good vocals and some creative rhythm section.This album in fact makes the right first impression.

The album starts off with "Critical Acclaim".It may not be the best of songs in the album but it's got a heavy riff that would immediately bring you into Avenged Sevenfold territory.The next song "Almost Easy" is one of the album highlights and it also was the first single.The song has nice lyrics and also good guitars.I loved the part where it goes like "Im not insane,Im not insane".The song "Scream" is seriously not worth listening to."Afterlife" is the real deal in this album and perhaps one of the best rock songs of the decade.This one's got amazing vocals,some solid drumming and a chorus which is hotter than hell.The song is perhaps evident that Avenged Sevenfold are maturing musically.Afterlife's successor "Gunslinger" is also a great track."A little piece of heaven" and "Dear God" follow a similar path as "Gunslinger".

From this album it seems that Avenged Sevenfold have softened up a bit but that's no reason why this album should be hated.This is in fact a great album and it's worth a listen for any hard-rock fan.
