Janus5k 07/24/22 6:36:12 AM #39:	Avenged Sevenfold occasionally come off as cheesy to me, like they really want to sound edgy and/or spooky with their lyrics and guitar lines... but at the same time they're solid musicians and have some genuinely fun tracks. I have a lot of nostalgia for playing some of their songs on Guitar Hero/Rock Band and their self-titled in particular has a couple tracks that are very ingrained in my mind. Not a fan of their softer stuff in general but even those songs have their moments. 1.Afterlife An old favorite that reminds me of playing Rock Band in college. Even setting nostalgia aside (mostly) it has a lot going for it - memorable riffs/guitar lines, an absolutely infectious chorus, and a blazing solo. I always go between this and Beast and the Harlot for my favorite overall A7X song. 2.Almost Easy I'M NOT INSANE I'M NOT INSAIIIIIIIINE yes very convincing. Not a whole lot to this song but it's a lot of fun. 3.A Little Piece of Heaven Hahahaha this is so stupidly over the top, feels like evil murder clown music. Has a few too many weaker spots to take a top spot but it's a good ride overall. 4.Lost One of the more straightforward songs on the album - just a fast little romp with some melodic guitar lines and random autotune (which I generally find off-putting but it's not awful here). 5.Scream A desperate struggle between some very fun guitar and some very unsettling lyrics. 6.Unbound (The Wild Ride) The first half of this alone would have been considerably higher, but then it loses its excellent momentum and the childlike vocals really don't do it for me here. 7.Gunslinger As I said in the general album comments, I'm not a fan of their softer stuff, but this builds decently and doesn't overstay its welcome. 8.Brompton Cocktail This song is fine. Takes a while to get started but otherwise isn't terribly memorable in any direction. 9.Critical Acclaim The random ranting really brings this down. Would be closer to the middle without it. 10.Dear God Feels like it just goes on a bit too long for how little it does and the country vibes are not my thing. --- A hero cannot be defeated simply by making him die. <cite>Janus5k posted [p:966797858] in Rank the T...
