Title: Downhill fast
Review: As a metalhead I am ashamed to say that I did enjoy the popish metal anger of the old Avenged Sevenfold. Thankfully enough the new album has brought me to my senses, or actually the terrible vocals have. I know the whole story about how M. Shadows apparently hurt his vocal chords and had to change his style of singing, but he should have left the band long before singing so badly off key. He is easily one of the worst singers I have ever heard. I cannot even defend him and say well he is singing metal and hard yells are necessary, for there are none here, just crummy vocals.The music is good but not great, I do enjoy the few breakdowns throughout the album though. Don't look for great guitar work, they are decent but nothing that metal bands haven't been doing for the last 20 years, and most of them much better.I cannot recommend this album at all. It is terrible and should not even be used as a Frisbee.
Is the review positive or negative?
