Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold's 4th studio album, Avenged Sevenfold is easily my favorite A7X album.  It is just one of those albums that has no shortage of unique and amazing tracks.  It has a balance between hard rock and heavy metal which is beautifully done, although I believe it points itself more towards its metal qualities.  A noteworthy quality of this album is that it was the last album to feature their past drummer, The Rev, as he died 2 years afterwards.  His voice can be heard in all the songs (woah).

This Album is full of amazing songs, but some most noteworthy for me are:  Afterlife, a song about (You guessed it) the afterlife. Something I love about this song is how they incorporated violins so beautifully in a metal song. Another song I love in this album is Scream, great song overall. Last but not least, another of the songs that gained much public praise is Critical Acclaim which gained much... critical acclaim buahaha but seriously, this song is slightly controversial and completely awesome. You should definitely give the whole album a listen if you enjoy hard metal (I might have just invented that), as the album is amazing. 

Additionally, here's a video for the song "Critical Acclaim", made by some kids with spare time, a calling for lip-singing (Just like me!) and a hilarious sense of humor.
