Editorial Reviews:

Clearly, Avenged Sevenfold have thrown away the rulebook. With Waking the Fallen, their sophomore effort for Hopeless Records, Aveneged Sevenfold (or "A7X") shatter preconceptions of punk and metal. Guitar World (March 2003) said the band "completely blur the line between metal and punk." The magazine also noted that the band would "be as comfortable on the Ozzfest stage as it is playing punk rock dives" A7X marks the beginning of a bold new direction for punk rock and metal. "At first, we were nervous about working with a producer because we didn't want our song structures changed. We didn't want to be formatted into three-minute, verse-chorus-verse songs. We told Mudrock that we want to sound epic, with big harmonies, have clean-sounding vocals like Iron Maiden's, and then go into heavy stuff like Pantera. We wanted to use all those influences and still make it work."

Summary: Best Album Ever
Comment: This is my favorite album of all time. Each song is well written and the guitar work is very good.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Way Too Much Screaming!!
Comment: I discovered Avenged Sevenfold through their self-titled album and really enjoyed it so I decided to pick up another one of their albums. Little did I realize that they had changed their style so drastically from where they began. Waking the Fallen has very good guitar and drums and such and usually has a very catch rhythm and melody but unfortunately the singing, er screaming, just isn't up to par. If you're a hard rock/metal fan that enjoys being able to understand the words to a song don't pick up this album. This album would have been a hundred times better if the screaming was converted even to a shout. I'm not saying he should have tried to sing like he did in City of Evil and self-title but screaming definitely isn't the answer for any band.

Summary: eh,okay yeah it's pretty good!
Comment: this is their best album along with their first album it's sucks they aren't like this anymore but m shadows made it clear that the first two albums were gonna be half screaming and half singing,and the next two just singing.Look it's not real metal altough i called the drummer real metal,but it's still great heavy music.This guys can really play i mean they really are good even tough i hate their new stuff except some few songs.Im gonna say what most people say "if you are a true a7x fan than get their old stuff"i just think this sounds great,and what do you mean this is emo metal they said they just play METAL!

Summary: Incredible Album! Certainly A7X's Best!
Comment: Avenged Sevenfold's Waking the Fallen is one of the best albums I have ever heard. I am a fan of all types of rock music, and this is among the best of all genres! A7X truly made such huge strides from Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, which I definitely also enjoyed. While Sounding the Seventh Trumpet was more of a hardcore/screamo album, this album is much more of a metal/alternative album, in my opinion, although as the editor's review said, "A7X blur the line between punk and metal." They are definitely a hard band to categorize. For a strong punk influence check out Second Heartbeat and Eternal Rest. For straight up metal songs check out Reminissions and Radiant Eclipse. For incredibly melodic songs check out I Wont See You Tonight Pt. 1, Unholy Confessions, and Clairvoyant Disease. And lastly, for great songs, check out every track on the album. This album will make you get angry, happy, sad, depressed, pumped up, basically the full range of emotions. It is just perfect. Every track is simply amazing. The musicianship is exceptional, the lyrics are exceptional, and the vocals are exceptional. The Rev is also probably the best drummer I have ever heard! Synester Gates gets all the credit all the time, but Zacky is also a great guitarist. Synester cranks out the solos, while Zacky cranks out the heavy riffs. And Johnny Christ is a hell of a bass player, he's even better on City Of Evil, though. The album is probably impossible for A7X to top because it is so flawless. If you are a fan of punk, metal, hardcore, emo, screamo, alternative, or generic rock n roll you should definitely pick this incredible album up. I promise you, you will not be disappointed! This is a true 5 star album. *****
