@chrismeadows42163 ай бұрын
Except for a crushing metalcore song. Nightmare has God Hates Us. It covers everything else which Avenged Sevenfold does, as well. Bluesy and country numbers? So Far Away, Danger Line, and Tonight the World Dies. A sprawling multimovement epic with quirky transitions? Save Me. A dark gothic piece with heavy emphasis of a keyboard instrument? Fiction. Brilliant singles? Nightmare, Welcome to the Family, and Buried Alive. The overproduced song which most people don't want to admit that they love? Natural Born Killer. It also has Victim. Nightmare's also a way more emotional album with more engaging artwork, a more interesting story than "They'd went into a studio and hadn't understood how to produce their own album.", and the Nightmare tour had been much better than the Avenged Sevenfold tour. Matt hadn't growled in 2007, only in 2008. His growls in 2010 and 2011 are Phil Anselmo-level. I understand popular sentiments, but Nightmare should really be THE icebreaking A7X album for people who are interested in A7X from hearing singles before, if someone isn't a City of Evil-type progressive metal-inclined person.

The Stage hadn't been overlooked. It'd been undermarketed, which is on A7X. Meanwhile, many fans who'd heard it had the newness bias of "OMG this album is their mature flawless masterpiece, their best album!", and it's really only a major creative needle-mover compared to Hail to the King, not to what they'd done before Hail to the King or since they'd released The Stage's cover songs. Life Is but a Dream... is what The Stage had been described as, yet, sadly, not a Grammy-nominated album with lofty praise which it deserves. Hail to the King and The Stage aren't aging well.

I think each album has their own vibe to them. Like, when you're in the mood for something you put that record on and there's something for everyone. It you're looking for an album with classic hard rock, thrash metal staples, you pick Hail to the King. If you're looking for a more atmospheric experience, you might want The Stage or Life is But a Dream. If you want a raw, unfiltered record with chunky riffs and palm muting, you pick Sounding of the Seventh Trumpet. You want a classic Metalcore banger, you go with Waking the Fallen.

Probably their best album is the white one, but I just love how sincere nightmare as an album is, it feels like every member of the band put their hearts in every song to make a proper farewell to the rev. Is my favourite by far.
@wallywest23603 ай бұрын
I like your rankings, mostly agree. For me Nightmare is top. I just love everything about it. The Stage and Life is But a Dream took me a while to appreciate. I do think they're very good and I appreciate how the band has evolved. You missed their video game soundtrack album, Black Reign. Has a couple otherwise unreleased songs with a few songs made for Call of Duty. Was pretty good.

LIBAD is by far my most listened to from their discography. Black Sabbath for the next one? Might as well go back to the beginning. Or Nevermore as something random.

They get so much hate for their eyeliner days, they have some great stuff and the stage is a masterpiece imo
@angelotrinidad68883 ай бұрын
The Stage years later is still underrated, I do actually think it’s their most consistent & mature album to date, maybe it isn’t something you’d listen to daily as much as their other albums, but every member is tight, there wasn’t a bad song, kind of like Nightmare, & I only got into the album last year & regret why it took that long lol

I recently did the samething after seeing a reel of the Nobody solo. As much shit as they get, they really are a solid band with a great catalog. My prior experience with them was wanting to hate them in high school for Bat County so i never really gave them a shot until now (i have heard the handfull of singles vaguely, and Syn's gypsy jazz clips)

I am familiar with some of A7's songs and wanted to explore their catalog further, so Bradley has provided what seems to be the best albums to visit. As a casual fan I was taken in with The Rev's insanely crispy drum fills in Bat Country, and now I may venture further than Welcome to The Family and Almost Easy. Honestly, A7 losing Jimmy Sullivan was a tragedy on par with The Who losing Keith Moon. I'm glad both bands soldiered on and gave us great music, even in the absence of their legendary drummers, but I digress... Anyway, thanks Brad!! Cheers! \m/ * * \m/

Been my all time favorite band since I was a kid. Still listening at 32. Just saw them in concert for the 8th time a few months ago. There’s not a single song by them that I don’t like. I think I like the self titled album the most. Lost is insane.

This is definitely the best ranking of albums I’ve seen yet. Libad definitely needs more time to settle with fans but it’ll be S tier in the future.

I like Bat Country and that's about it. I remember seeing them in Ozzfest with Disturbed and System of A Down. At first they weren't really liked by the Nu Metal crowd, but after they did a cover of "Respect" from Pantera they quickly swayed the crowd after that.

They're one of those bands I've never cared for at all, but every now and then will give them a listen to see if my opinion changes. So far it never has.

I've heard that with City of Evil, they wanted to be Children of Bodom with clean vocals. Explains the "a bit too much"-ness of it all.

Pretty good rankings, imo. Walking the Fallen is a masterpiece. Though, I do think my favourite Syn solo is Hail to the King. Not sure why, but that’s an all timer for me.

I was a fan from the beginning until Nightmare, which I can’t stand, but I came back for The Stage, and I don’t regret it. Glad they got proggy again. Also, everyone should listen to Pinkly Smooth. Do it immediately.

I slept on The Stage for years after it came out, then in the lead up to LibaD I re-listened to it over and over and I fell in love with it. I love everything they’ve done except St7T, but I’ve gotta say LibaD just fucking blows everything else out of the water for me, I played it back-to-front, multiple times a day for most of last year 😅

i'm a pretty old school A7X fan. waking the fallen defined high school for me. these rankings are spot on, even though personally i would rank 7th trumpet higher and hail to the king lower. other than that great job with the rest of it.
