Negative Positive
Title: Horrible
Review: I'm a metal fan, and I bought this album because it got so many glowing reviews, many of which compared this band to Slayer and early Metallica. As a hardcore fan of both of those bands, I gave Avenged Sevenfold a try. And I'm here to tell you-- it's absolute crap. I couldn't stand to listen to it, although I tried. Comparing it to Slayer or Metallica is an absolute insult. It sounds like David Bowie lyrics being obnoxiously screamed by a bunch of spastic teenagers who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Like most music fans, I have a lot of CDs in my collection that I'm lukewarm on... but THIS was a CD I knew I would NEVER listen to again. I sent it back to Amazon, and they were nice enough to give me a partial refund even though I had taken it out of the plastic.Obviously there are quite a few people who like this band, and to each his own... but as a classic heavy metal fan, I have to say that Avenged Sevenfold gets two thumbs down from me.
Is the review positive or negative?
