The drumbeat on the last chorus absolutely makes me ascend

my favorite song in the album. I think that's the perfect execution of what they tried to show in this album, without losing their essence, thats the old a7x that we know, but creating something really new

This song is the perfect bridge of giving their old fans a slice of the HEAVY while also playing along with the idea of being a prog. album. What a fuckin’ banger of a track!!

The solo into that bridge is my favorite part on the whole album it’s insane

I'm so happy you mentioned that part sounded like Unbound. It had felt familiar to me, and as I was going over it in my head I would keep skipping into a different melody and I couldn't place it. Now I know. Side note, it's been really funny to see people react to this, because everyone either loves it or hates it, with seemingly no in-between.

4:40 That part was actually written by the rev they just couldn't find a spot for it in any songs until this one.

Its hard to decide which songs I like it most, all of them are special to me, but I think my top 3 is: Mattel, Cosmic and Death

This is tied with G and WLY for my favorite track on the album. I love this sound from them.

I thought the same thing while humming it I would catch myself singing unbound

man i have listened to this album so many times , it is the most artistic one they made for sure. btw your reactions are so real and i really liked your interpretations for the 2 songs you released, keep it up bro!

Parts of this and the first half of the album: This goes back to City Of Evil era if not a bit before it... not too much, you can just tell the instrumentals made a slight return to the incredible pieces they'd do back then too. Of course modernized in the style they've been doing lately, you can still tell it was made after The Stage and continuing on its great path.

I can’t wait to hear your take on G O D

This song was such a cool concept. As a huge fan of the Truman show movie I instantly caught the line on the first listen. At first it didn’t make sense to me but the fact that the song is about a fake world and the Truman show was about him living in a fake world that was fully controlled real showed me that nothing on this album was just a lucky chance to be good. It was all 100% thought out. Real passionate music making from them again.

I wonder if they'll release the videos they had playing for the immersive experience !! Your reactions are spot on 🔥 and your daughter earned you your metal card back 😂

Great video dude!

Also seeing that the rev actually wrote part of this song and i forgot what other track makes it that much better!

Literally perfect song

Your reaction to the breakdown was pretty much exactly the same as mine 🤣 that guitar synth (or whatever it was) sounds incredible!

That song is the one that grew on me the most. Keep on Youtubin'!

To me, I interpreted it as a perception of a materialistic society, focusing on mundane and trivial matters, living a life in a blissful ignorance from the things that really matter

I like that your reaction or review videos are not just you going ooh and aah like most of them do. You actually add something to the convo about the songs. Subbed. I really liked your cosmic review, what you said about conservation of energy and the matter in us has also been everywhere was beautiful.

Reminds me of a song they made; the Wicked End

Another perfect intro!

Despite the album is ment to be listen as a whole, there are some tracks fckn awesome 🥵🥵

just earned a sub with this one, keep it up big man!

5:15 the bridge is a james bond soundtrack material 😂 just imagine that part play along with the footage of Casino Royale intro, it's sooo good 😂

❤❤❤❤❤

Soooo good. Love this album. A7X forever. 🤘😈🔥

Fun fact: There is a demo from Pinkly Smooth called "Drop D" there you can find pieces of Mattel and Beautiful Morning, The REV singing like an animal! Like a true metalhead I would say... PS: I put that right minutes/seconds in the comments there :D

This was one of Grand Bob's favorites. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ot93iNyGzK2qXWw.html 🤘

This album was hit and miss but fuck the solos were amazing

outro reminds me of Led Zeppelin

I think my favorite track on the album would have to be "Cosmic". I've been a fan of Avenged Sevenfold for quite a while, not my favorite band, but they're up there with many favorites. I think the album is pretty cool, always respect when a band gets more creative, and they did things pretty uniquely, so i dig it. Not my fav album of theirs but its cool. I have a question for you Don, or anyone else thats been a fan a while. There is a vocal melody on "Cosmic" that seems reminiscent of another track from theirs, but i cant place it. Does anyone else get reminded of another song from the vocal melody during the chorus? Either way, I love it.

it worked

I love your take on what the song is about.. that's what I love about music! It takes so many forms to everyone differently My take on it is coming from the movie ' The Truman Show" with Jim Carey. It's a great movie and I'm almost certain this is where they got the inspiration lyrically and why i think you just about nailedthe meaning of the song. Take a look at the movie it and tell me what you think! Btw totally subscribed!

What happened to the full album react video? Was it taken down by Warner Bros?

Mattel and cosmic really carry the album in my opinion. The only song i vibe less with is G but everything else is fire

why is the full album reaction unavailable?

Your hair grew pretty fast in two days!! 🥴

That tr00 metalhead thing is pure bullshit. Are those guys like what? 13 years old? XD Btw I love Whitney Houston too, only true metalheads enjoy it ;D

"True metalheads" are just boring, imagine not liking any variation or uniqueness.

"Not a true metal head" I mean shit A7X fans been gettin that the whole time wouldnt be right otherwise ahahaha

My take on this is that the album should be listened to from the perspective of an AI/android robot that is starting to become sentient. It’s trying to figure out it’s place in the world, and what it’s concluded is quite nihilistic. It could actually be a musical score to some futuristic movie
