Life is but a dream? more like LIFE IS BUT A F**KING NIGHTMARE!
I Grew up with Avenged Sevenfold in my teenage years, they were one of the first Metal bands i actively began listening to, and Nightmare, to this day, is still one of the best Metal album to me
Come Hail to the King and these guys shamelessly ripped off Alice in Chain, The Entire song of "Sad but True" by Metallica, thinking we won't f**king notice it, but fine, because after that they gave us the Stage which was sort of a flop, but at the same time, a return to form, and with a concept that actually aged really f**king well, I won’t pretend to be a genius when it comes to reviewing music, or any kind of Media in general, I don’t use fancy wordings like someone from f**king Loudwire, or Metalc(s)ucks, or even f**king Metal Injection, and quite frankly, I think my reviews suck, I don’t have much faith in them, I just type whatever comes to my mind, but once in a blue f**king moon, a record either manages to take me off my feet with how good they are, or, how f**king atrocious and disastrous it is, so come the new Avenged Sevenfold album and its quite literally the worst f**king album they could have ever made, this makes Hail to the King an actual 10/10 in comparison, there is not a single positive I could write about this shit, it would be like picking up a dog turd from the street and tossing it in the garbage, at the end of the day, you did something for the environment, but at the cost of dirtying your hand with literal shit.
There is 5 factors I take into account when im deciding if an album is worthy of a certain score, and the list is as follows: Vocals, Musicianship, Production, Lyrics, and lastly Instruments.
Let’s start with the Vocals, because oh my f**king god it’s nails on a chalkboard, it’s like someone is actively trying to brainf**k me through my earhole with a rusty and molded Drill, I’d rather walk on f**king legos for the rest of my life than dealing with this f**king vocals, whatever the hell M Shadows is trying to do in this shit is NOT working, the opening track has some really ass tier lyrics (which I will get to later) and M Shadows does the wimpiest, Shittiest, tired, nasally and processed screams I probably ever f**king heard, this makes Danzig in his current time look actually f**king amazing in comparison, this makes Vince F**king Neil sounds almost audible, Almost is the keyword here, because the vocals gets progressively way f**king worse, M Shadows cannot hit
