Nightmare- Avenged Sevenfold
This is the latest and newest album from Avenged Sevenfold. Just the excitement of novelty that they would launch an album this year made me even more interest by the disc. When I saw it available for download I did not think twice. I had already heard the 'Nightmare' and 'Buried Alive' before, first glance I did not like these songs, I had to listen to them more about 3 times to get me interested - like all other songs by Avenged - . But talking about the album itself, I noticed an extreme change in the rhythm and beat on drums - of course, the drummer has changed - but they did not elect a musician with their eyes closed, they made the choice quite clear in what they wanted, and nobody less than Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater - that left the band later because he was very fond of staying in Avenged Sevenfold - which I think is way more talented than ‘The Rev’ himself and also think that those who says that James is more talented than Portnoy, pure recent bereavement, so that the only argument they use is ‘The REV sings, Portnoy no’. Big deal, if we consider the techniques used in drums by both, we see that Portnoy is better in Dream Theater and in Avenged Sevenfold! Only Mike Portnoy on drums makes their new album exceptional! It is cool in many ways, the heavy songs like 'God Hates Us' and 'Natural Born Killer', as well as in the lighter songs like 'So Far Away'. Explicitly, the members express the feeling of nostalgia for the lost member in every song, the melody, the lyrics, on the cover at all. It is a heavy album, funny, but above all beautiful and sad. I really liked this disc, moreover with the quality of the music becomes their first album to reach the first Billboard Top 200 selling over 163,000 copies!
Conclusion: Avenged Sevenfold is a really cool band, but for teenagers, like me who like a heavier style of music, fast or even funny. But, for example, when I showed them to my father a few songs he did not like them to the point of recognize the band till today as 'those nasty' when most people between 13 and 17 years idolize them. I also say that they really are a passing phase, are highly seasick, especially when you mature and need a more serious musical style.

Avenged Sevenfold [Self-Titled]- Avenged Sevenfold
Well, here I am, reviewing the self-titled Avenged Sevenfold. This album is considered by the artists as their best work, hence the name self-titled. Reaching No. 4 in Billboard 200, still not fair the position given to the album, Avenged Sevenfold exceeded the expectations of the previous album, selling over 500,000 copies and classified as album of the year by Kerrang!, also is certified as Gold Album by the RIAA. Not least, like the previous album, every song on this one are cool, in my opinion, because the two albums reach different audiences, the previous City of Evil, had as main objective the more hardcore people, who prefer a sound fast and heavy, suitable for circles, now they are looking for people, how can I say, more sentimental, searching lyrics and melody calmer. Many people were disappointed with this album because it really was a radical change Avenged Sevenfold’s Style, meeting the needs of the second group. To my delight, I'm in the middle ground between these two groups, and there are so many people who are satisfied with both albums. Talking about the positives of the album is that the recording is really amazing, we never heard about the forks committed in the first of all albums. They really have improved in many aspects. Among them we see a distortion, already used on the previous album, which later becomes the official brand of the guitar in Avenged. Drummer James Sullivan begins using the triple bass drum, thus improving the speed and fills. The vocals of Matt Shadows totally forgot what it is scream (except at the beginning of the song "Critical Acclaim"), but he improved his singing techniques, using new technologies to change the voice, such as Auto-Tune, the song 'Lost'. It also has the use of alternative instruments, taking care of certain songs like 'Afterlife', they are present in all the music, and without them we noticed that the track would suck at all. These are instruments that makes an interesting and beautiful eco. What I also found cool was that The Rev’s –how the Drummer James was widely known- voice on that album was highly valued as to be present in most music. In much of them he appears screaming, but in others as 'Critical Acclaim', he sings the chorus. And as always, there are downsides, such as large loss of fans for leaving entirely aside the hardcore. I think they could at least try to continue with the hardcore, leaving traces of it in the disc. Remembering what I said before, Avenged Sevenfold is one typical album, which the listener hears it all, and never tire of listening! Because we have the classic 'Critical Acclaim', 'Almost Easy' and 'Scream' putting on a show at the creepy then 'Afterlife' with the violins, then 'Gunslinger' having characteristics of 'Dear God', a ballad kind from west, where 'Gunslinger' still have a agitated part, then with the 'Unbound' and 'Brampton Cocktail', which are less known, but are very nice, in that 'Unbound' The Rev makes a child's voice, 'Lost 'with the differentiated vocals and to finish, the classic' A Little Piece of Heaven ', written by The Rev, eight minutes and an epic chorus.
