Title: Wow! What the hell happened
Review: Yes. I'm going to do it. Compare it to their independent label(Hopeless Records) effort. "Waking the Fallen" was one of the most influential and original records of 2003.A perfect mix of harmony and brutality combined with precise songwriting and guitar riffs.Excellent. Now we have this.Okay I know this guy messed up his voice or what not but half of this album doesn't even sound like Avenged Sevenfold.They remind you of a really gay emo band for about half of the record. When they really do try they manage to rock you out. I personally liked "Blinded in Chains" a whole lot. Also "The Wicked End" has a cool like Movie type symphonic interlude in the middle. I like maybe three more songs on this album but the rest of it blows.I do respect them for not kicking their singer out just because he couldn't scream. This is loyalty and not many bands would do that.I was just dissapointed I didn't get an excellent metal record like I expected. Oh well!
