    Album of the year already for me. I like albums where I don’t know what to expect from song to song.

      Hey I feel ya. Or at least I did. Been listening to them since the beginning and got to see them 3 times with The Rev and last time they came in my state was 2016-2017 maybe. So I’ve been missing them to come somewhere close. They’re fantastic live. They record their stuff raw so when they play live it’s almost as if the album was being played live man. Matt’s voice might not be the best in the business but god damn does he have such down to earth tone man that makes you feel the music. I also wanna see Brooks Wackerman live as well. The guy fits so damn well with avenged i was sad to see him leave bad religion whom I also love but was glad to see him go to a band that’s perfect for letting him cut loose.

      I saw them in Little Rock, AR for 2011 Edgefest, about a year after Nightmare came out. It was a great show, I’d love to see them again especially with Brooks.

    LIBAD is a very significant album. I don’t know how History will remember it but it should be regarded as maybe one of the most important albums of the 2020s. The music, the lyrics, the artwork the videos everything is masterfully well done.

    If there was a meteor heading straight towards earth and there was only an hour left to live, I'm putting this album on!! This album is Avenged Sevenfold's "The Wall" in my opinion, just an absolute masterpiece front to back. It's been so long since I've listened to an album 2 times in a row... and the very first time I've listened to an album 3 times in a row like I did with this one. Thank you guys so much for this gift of an album, it may just be my favorite album of all time. 🤘❤

    I think it’s so wild to learn where the art came from, I have been Mesmerized by it since I had first seen it, it’s amazing what happens when such creative minds come together. It was so worth the wait! I think it’s also wild how well each album has fit into my life. They’re always toying with the different genres and styles that I love. And the themes follow the same thoughts and questions and stuff I’ve been goin through. I think they’ve helped opened my mind, especially when I was so young. They help me move forward and I only hope I can help them move forward aswell. I’m proud that this is the first album that I’ll finally be able to see them live! This album has left me with so many emotions that I can’t even process! I’m glad we’ve made it this far!

    Always loved the band's IDGAF abt what people think and just do what they know best. And i've always loved their reminders to live, get your shit together, seize the day etc. in their music, songs and lyrics. It's amazing that Wes Lang completely relates to them in this very manner and in his art as well. It's a match made in heaven, really. Particularly liked when Wes said "This isn't dark. This is hopeful, an in your face reminder to live." That just resonated with me and reverberated through my soul. I felt that.

    I never paid attention to this band. Of course I had listened to some of their hits but never got hooked to them.
    After listening LIBAD non-stop for two weeks, I can say it is the best Metal record of the 21st century so far.
    Metal needs this kind of creative and meaningful works.

    The new album opened a portal to a place inside of me that I really needed to reconnect with and "feel" life again. I'm really excited for the guys to see where they go from here. Wes Is a incredible artist on his own and like he says, "It just happened." That's when you know something touched him and was able to pour his soul on paper or canvas for us all to share, together. We as humans can come together and share "art" from musicians and an artist while the crazy world revolves around us, we are together, at peace and stepping thru that door that had been opened for us .

    I'm graduating from high-school tomorrow and this album was probably the greatest thing I could have experienced before the next stage of my life, what a great way to end my childhood with a new album a day prior. Loving the steps that they're taking with their music and the symbolism in this album, what a masterpiece.

      Falou simplesmente tudo! Ouvindo pela primeira vez, esperava ouvir as fases anteriores do A7X. Prosseguindo este primeiro contato, achei uma ou duas musicas diretamente interessantes, mas expandindo a mente e entendendo a intenção progressiva pretendida pela banda, afirmo neste exato momento que este será um dos álbuns mais importantes do gênero nos póximos anos.

Music is one of our best ways to bond and before I was a father, your albums got me thru some crazy shit. I even proposed while "warmness on the soul" played in the background. What a journey it's been.

    I could have parked closer, but to stretch my $ & all of us chose a tour shirt for memories & enjoyed great food, one killer show and I will forever thank you guys for the experience with my 2 kids!! Forever Priceless! I might be older but I do love to rock! Get well quick Syn!!
