Avenged Sevenfold gave everything they had making their latest CD "Nightmare". On just one listen, you can tell that much of the CD was influenced by the death of their drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. So this CD may not sit well with the long time A7X fans. There's more melody & slower stuff encased in these songs than in previous outings. Most of the time when a band that's known for being heavy & having all fast songs start slowing things down & broaden their horizon, they are accused of selling out. Look at Metallica. "Kill em All" sounds a lot different than their other CDs.
Avenged Sevenfold went into this with a stranglehold. There are enough heavy tracks to please the hardcore fans but get ready to delve a little deeper into the psyche of band members & their experience over the last 7 months. Tracks like "Nightmare", "Welcome to the Family" & "Natural Born Killer" will rock you like never before. While "Buried Alive" & "God Hates Us" wed the twin styles of this CD with slow parts & heavy parts. "Fiction", "Tonight the World Dies" & "Victim" showcase some outstanding musicianship while not trying to impress with speed. These tracks require much more attention. The beauty of the melody will speak to you & move you much of the way "Dear God" did on the self titled CD. The finale of this masterpiece is the nearly 11 minute opus "Save Me". It can be described with just one word-- OUTSTANDING!!!!
A7X has survived much over the past year. This CD proves they will be around foREVer.
