weird single but ive listened to it about 7 times and its grown on me
Yeah, I agree. It's definitely a weird choice for a single but it's still alright. Probably a 7/10.
Its a nice one to kind of give us a taste of whats coming, its a solid song for sure. Im on like 15+ listens😂been waiting too long
I listened to it 3 times already, including this reaction, it's like you find new things to look for with each playthrough
same!
It got me hooked in my first time
The more you listen the more it grows on you cant wait for release of album.
I feel like the rest of this album is going to be very different from this. Similar to what they did with the stage single in comparison to the rest of the album. I've been a fan of theirs for 22 years and musically I find this to be amazing. It's very different. There's a lot to digest and breakdown but after a few listens it becomes almost peaceful. Keep up the awesome work man.
I absolutely agree. I have a hypothesis that this song is meant to throw everybody off. Maybe, maybe not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@38clonewars that actually makes sense, their whole marketing scheme has been misdirection for this album thus far
@@38clonewars feels like a statement, like "Yeah, we're getting weird, deal with it."
With their self titled they had a little piece of heaven, very weird and out of the ordinary, but it worked well. I still go back to that song from time to time, such a masterpiece.
For one listen or two I think it’s really good, but not my cup of tea to jam to. I think M.Shadows voice has aged a bit in a good way and the dissonant opening riff compliments it very well.
I have to say I love this song. At first I was kind of disappointed it didn’t have that edge and bitterness we are used to but after listening to it the second of many times I realized they made a fucking masterpiece. They highlighted every band member at some point and it shows it was a love letter to music and to show off they are still the masters of the craft.
As a huge A7x fan this song is a hell of a treat.
The production is very different, I remember that they said that they were drawing inspiration from Kanye West and weirdly enough it shows haha.
M. Shadows sounds a bit odd tho, I think I need a couple listens to get used to his new vocal style.
As far as guitar goes, Syn just knocks it out of the park once again, this man is a genius.
It's a weird song to put out has a first single, but I think it works to give an overall idea of what the album is gonna be all about.
Hopefully we get a heavy ass second single kinda like what we got with God Damn off The Stage
The vocal style give me Chris Cornell vibes.
@@ghosface353 that's interesting, now that you mentioned that, his new vocal style does sound a bit Grungy haha! That's a pretty good comparison.
@Prentice Jones i get that, I remember that back when The Stage dropped I wasn't the biggest fan of Shadow's voice, but just like with this single it grew on me over time. As far as the riffs go, I think it's a matter of taste cause I loved them right in the first listen
@@ghosface353 😂😂😂 don’t insult Chris like that. M shadows sounds like he finished smoking a pack of cigarettes before he jumped on the mic. I like this band but nah…. Don’t this wasn’t it. They’re light years better than this.
@@joshvsfatherhood you gotta remember this too man they haven’t made music in 7 years of course your vocals are going to be different
Sounds like this is the first track on the album that’s going to lead to something bigger.
I'm the same with each song/album I listen to, first time I listen I'm like "it's alright", then I give them more time and try to pay attention to more things and I end up loving them, this one is the same, can't wait to see what the rest of the album has for us
It’s pure art. Whether people like it or not.. it’s what we love about them: they never stay the same and they are always changing for better or worse.
Super excited for the album and I hope it’s proggy as fucked
A7x means a lot to me. I started listening to them when I was 9, I'm 23 now. For me, they were the bridge to the beautiful world of heavy music. I actually started to drum thanks to them. This new single feels weird, but so did The Stage when I heard it for the first time. Can't wait for the album.
I can't really choose my fav song, so these are my top 5: Brompton Cocktail, Critical Acclaim, Turn the other way, Unbound, Planets
Save Me off the nightmare album has been my favorite since I first heard it and it hasn’t changed! I dig the new single but I would agree it felt like a teaser for what’s to come
Same here, that and "Natural Born K*ller". Nightmare is actually my favorite A7X album, I don't get why it was soo controversial, that album was fantastic!
@@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead I don’t remember it being controversial but I do remember those who didn’t know how to feel about who they got to fill in for the drums on the album but I loved that record and still do
For someone like me the idea of this being a peak at what's to come with the album gets me excited, they said they were going to be super outside the box for this album and shadows is going for a new vocal style with it so give it time and I'm sure it'll age well, the stage did and look at how upset people were when Roman sky was released
Headphones to absorb that bass and all the nuance . This is going to be a banger in the car as well with the bass. Thinking how this is going to fit in to the album as a whole is interesting. It’s the 3rd track so this might be a comedown from a much more energetic beginning. They already have notes that it’s going to be meant to be listened to and consumed as a whole. I think they do that really well.
Coming Home is one of my favorite A7X songs
I've been following A7X for many year now and I have to say that I'm hyped with this new single and record. I hope it brings more of this dark sway.
I can't put a name on a single song that can call my favorite, but "Trashed and Scattered" is up there.
Greetings from Chile
As a comeback single I was hoping for something more. Don't hate the song but it is definitely interesting
I think this song is a huge indicator of how different and unique this new album is going to be, which is sick!! Blinded in Chains or The Stage are my favorites still
I can't wait to see Synyster effortlessly playing this live!
I listened to it about 9 times now and it definitely grew on me to the point that i now love it. I agree it was a weird first song to put out but the more i listened the more i liked it. Syn's solo was amazing as per usual and Matt's voice sounded grittier to me and i really liked it. The instrumentals overall and the lyrics were great too. This makes me even more excited to hear the full album whenever it comes out. Oh i subbed to your channel also!
i’m already really liking this song. which there was more than that one riff but it was catchy and they did some really cool things in this one
Personally i really liked Nobody but like you said in the vid, the context with the song would be alot better when the full album is released
Also my favorite Avenged Song is Almost Easy since its the first song i ever heard by them and been a fan ever since
This is for sure a part of a sequence of songs that connect. They way that solo just cuts off at the end will be where this track ends at the start of another. I'm so excited
This one's a grower for sure. I think your point about it being almost "trance-like" is an excellent way to describe it and, given the theme, had to have been what they were going for. The idea of being faced (or literally shown, here) with your own cosmic irrelevance and just being numb to it. The more I watch this video the heavier that idea gets, and the music supports it hauntingly.
What I absolutely love about the guitar solo is how "raw" it sounds. It sounds like they took his best take, and didn't remove any of the imperfections.
What I love about A7X is you never know what to expect. Most artist stick to a sound and style and become predictable. So to me this is pure art
This single feels like the opening to the rest of the album, it was solid but feel there's bigger things coming from the rest of the album. My favourite a7x song has to be the masterpiece that is a little piece of heaven.
The Stage is my favorite A7X album, so I'm rather pleased that they seem to be continuing that sound.
Same. I’m fine with them going less Metal as long as they keep the prog. I’m glad they are leaning into that.
more i listen to it more i get addicted to it, but first time hearing it was so weird and mixed emotions that i instantly started listening to it on repeat. it has so many layers that it's imposiible to catch everything at once, every more listen reveals every little secret they put in this song. it's gonna be long three months before we get album (especially after teasing us with this "controversial" song) but god damn this song will get me throu that time quickly. i am greatful to be fan of a band that isn't scared of changes and doing "unpopular" stuff.
The skeleton looking at the suicide note on the fireplace at the end of the video, blew me away. Beautiful song and video.
I think an 8/10 rating from you is very accurate. Overall a great song that will get better with time, I loved the trippy, dark feel to it and it leaves you excited for the June album release. However, I would have loved a little more after the solo.
I am not quite sure how I feel yet, I need to hear it in the album.. Its so weird but interesting...
Solid 8/10 for sure. Not too high when you recognize it’s equivalent to 4/5 and is B (80%). Definitely need to hear it in the context of a longer project. For my favorite song from A7X, I’d probably go I won’t see you tonight part two- specifically demo for it’s rawness.
Shadows sounds a little different, but with the surgery on his vocal cords I expected it to change eventually The Stage album some songs sounded like he was really straining to hit some notes. However he sounds fucking great in concert
That was SO MUCH BETTER than I was expecting. I totally agree with your thoughts. This is just the beggining of something much bigger. Besides of that, my favorite song still is A Little Piece of Heaven
After listening to “we love you” everything sounds like a masterpiece.
Hell yes it was worth the wait. Beautiful song
Its such a cool single, its interesting, ever time ive listened to it, which is about five time now, its grown on me. and my favorite avenged sevenfold song in almost easy, just memories of old nfs prostreet and its what introduced me to avenged sevenfold
Best review so far, subscring to see the review when the full album comes out
I immediately loved this song on this album. The others I had to listen to a few times but this one got me right off the bat.
It's so hard to pick just one!!! With so many good songs they do. Just a solid band all together. I seen this song as it premiered live stream and I was taken back. I can't wait til June 2nd
I love how proggy this song is and how there's not really a traditional songwriting structure, the instrumentals were pretty good and M. Shadows' voice isn't what it used to be after vocal surgeries but is solid for this type of song. I don't hate it, but I don't really love it either, but it's a damn good song.
Also my favorite A7X song is Unbound (The Wild Ride) 🤘🏾
First listen I was surprised. What an interesting new sound, then moving into the solo it's like woah they're going in all different directions. Overall I love it. And I noticed the song grows on you significantly after a few listens, which seems to be the case with a7x music.
You feel the song is not having an ending just repeat it again and again and it won't ends.
M enjoying. Full album will be the work of the century
@@KevinQ25 I was smoking weed 🤣🤣
This thread is incredible.
I’ll be honest after 7 years I was expecting a lot more. This song almost feels like a demo . And some aspects of the production are really rough, I think the vocals especially really didn’t do Matt any favors. I’m optimistic tho, hopefully the album is still good , I’ll still support them either way . As of now I’m worried haha. Thanks for the reaction!
Let's not forget there's still 3 months left until the album, their probably gonna release another single that's faster. I think this is a good start
Favorite A7x track is “We Come Out at Night” off of Sounding the Seventh Trumpet! 🎺
I'm gonna have to listen to this on its own a couple times before I probably Get It. It definitely holds your attention, and I am interested in hearing where it belongs on the album (if this is coming w an album??). idk I really dig it so far! I'm typing this as the video is still rolling and that guitar solo is so sick!! love a good guitar solo!!
Love your dissection dude!
It was perfect how you explained the Pro's and Con's, as I personally seemed everything you said was accurate, and how I felt. Your rating was actually close to mine, as I think it's a 8.5 or 9.
I feel like I will enjoy your content, and you seem really enjoyable to watch, not pausing the song like 10 times trying to talk in the middle of it, as you let yourself and your audience listen and gather their and your own thoughts to dissect after it was over.
Keep it up dude, you just earned yourself another Subscriber.
Rock on🤘
had to be courage to released something like that.
Perfect review!
Ngl I can hear some of like Muse from their Simulation Theory vibe, absolutely love it🔥
Woah we’re rating songs now I love it!
Second heartbeat will always be my favorite avenged sevenfold song but seeing how throughout the years this band has kept its roots and always given us something new, unique, and innovative. That's why they've always been my favorite band! The new song fits the same category. In has many layers when really broken down, has a message, the musicianship is top tier, and the more you listen to this song the better it gets and the more details pop out! 10/10 for me! :)
These guys are fearless! You have to admire that. They def don’t stick to a formula. The song bumps on good speakers and that outro solo is a face melter!
Shadows' new flair is the purest sign of a vocalist reignited! Think about their past, why this record has taken so long, this song is a red hot indication!
I cant wait to hear M's new vocal approach live with more of an attack to it, grit and flavor. First A7X record ive been interested in for a long time, so i expect a new set of sounds within!
Favorite A7X song just might be Save Me, but it changes periodically.
This Nobody is a nice groove. I like how you called it a teaser for the rest of the album. For the moment, really digging on this track, and looking forward to the rest of Life is but a Dream!
Crazy arrangement and harmonies!! Can’t wait for this album drop!!! The world needs Avenged!!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That repeating riff reminds me of a siren - like The Purge. I really like this song and the video! Hard to choose a favorite A7X song.
It's grown on me the more I listen. Excited for the rest of the album.
My fave song is Tonight the World Dies.
Yeah that guitar motif that played throughout the whole song is very ear catching. It’s reminds me of the war of the worlds horns. Very doomsday sounding, fits the video really well
Very interesting comeback song lol. Have loved this band since waking the fallen and have too many favorite songs to pick just one lol. My most played is probably Save Me and Nightmare. I gotta listen to this more before I can give a full opinion, but off first listen it’s pretty good! Just gotta get used to Matt’s voice again like I did when the stage came out 😂
i wont see you tonight part 1, gives me chills everytime
The first time i listened to it I was like that was a heck of a ride!
I liked this song when I first heard it, but it definitely gets better with each listen. I have high hopes for the new album 🖤
I like it, can't wait to hear the album.
My favourite song would probably be Thick and Thin from their first album, but its really difficult to pick a song from them when they have so many awesome songs :)
I missed them so much❤️
I feel like it's a continuation of exist and this did grow on me after 4 takes but it's amazing and the video is just as good Sevenfold always experimented with its music and I'm not disappointed this was amazing and I can't wait for the rest of it on June 2nd
My Mom passed away recently so without a doubt So Far Away is my favorite......Not sure why every time I hear it my eyes start to water.........
Definitely felt like this could be a Muse song. I enjoyed it. And the video is fantastic.
I’ve went from not sure, to it’s pretty good, to man I fucking love this
Fans of their proggy stuff are probably going to like this. Fans of their heavier stuff (me!) probably won't dig it as much. Maybe it'll grow on me with time
Loved your input. At first, I was mostly shocked by what this song was. Now that the "shock" has passed, I appreciate it more, especially musically. really solid.
My favorite A7X song : mmm... tough one... but I think I'll go with the song that made me discover the band, The Beast and The Harlot. Gotta say that Unholy Confessions is a really close one though :)
It has a 80s dystopian vibe and I love it it took a couple listens to really vibe with it
It's great to finally hear some new Avenged Sevenfold!! I might be in the minority here, but my favourite Avenged Sevenfold also is Hail to the King - and my favourite song from that album is Requiem. I also love Almost Easy from the self-titled album.
I don't know if I love it or not but. I listened to this song like 10 times I don't know but I think I love the band so much that i grown on me like it has been my fav right now🤣
Ok!! I get it.... The vocals are ground down and stationary. I am still waiting for M. Shadows to go hard on this album!! I believe he is in a poised state and waiting for people to doubt him, so he can unleash the dragon that is him!! Even if he doesn't I am still here because that is what a true fan is 🎉
I love about 88% of this song. I've listened to it about 30 times so far today, and it grows on you. Definitely a difference in Matt's voice not sure how I feel about it. But man his singing blows me away from where he started. Can't wait for the full album
I really like this new song! I wonder if the new album is a concept album and the track after this is a continuation of sorts. That would make the ending make more sense. Regardless, I'm thrilled with this new release and can't wait til June to get the full album!
Fav A7X song? I think Save Me. Guitars and drums (Portnoy!) on that are insane!
Fav song is eternal rest. Love this track. If the point of their single is to get me excited for an album, I have to give it a 9/10.
This song with headphones is a trip
It’s definitely different but I like it and can’t wait for more❤
This is definetly one of the most interesting a7x songs ive heard so far cant wait for more like this and bat country is my favourite
It seems like they're continuing the sound they were going for on The Stage, and if that's the case I'm totally fine with it, it's my favorite album from them behind Waking the Fallen. Looking forward to the rest of the album
This song is phenomenal!!!!
riff sounds like a siren. helps with the ambience and vibe forsure
I feel like this did exactly what they wanted it to. Give us just enough that we want more but not too much that they spoil the album. Hyped for the album.
'Im a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head’
Technically it's only been five years since we got a new Avenged Sevenfold song Mad Hatter released in 2018 for Black Ops 4 zombies
I wouldn't be surprised and I would be happy if they were to release a "Nobody Pt 2".
One thing people are complaining about is shadow's voice. His voice sounds MUCH better than the last time we heard hime sing. Listen to his song with These Grey Men. His voice could barely give anything and he couldn't even sing normally without rasp. Now he can sing clean notes easily. The vocal rest did him well. I think it's stupid that people were expecting his voice to sound like it did on earlier albums after he had like 20 years of vocal abuse
Once I dug deeper than the main riff, the musicianship here is outstanding, as are the vocals. Only taking a shallow dive here is a huge disservice.
Very interested in the whole of the album. 👍😳👍
I love that you review and give pros and cons at the end with a score. But I’d be curious to have updated scores a year after the album released if you are able to get many listens in.
So I’d like to flip that one con of yours around to a pro. I believe, as art, they intentionally left out a climax. Based off of the theme and the message, it’s a dreary existential feeling of being a god, yet mortal.. and one day nothing… putting the solo at the end with the character’s existential crisis.. and how it ends kind of abruptly… it’s perfect. The whole vibe fits the story… I think Matt’s vocal style of being a bit strained, not full lung power, was completely intentional.
So excited for the album!
“I feel like I’m gonna hear that sound in my dreams” 😂😂😂😂
Tbh it feels like one of those transition songs they did on the stage too, carrying the story through a transition
I think this is exactly what they wants, confused us a little bit more for what’s to come haha
Shadows sounds very similar to Cornell in my opinion. And the track overall has a very interesting Dream Theatre experimental vibe to it. I was not 100% on the vocal style at first but after a few listens it eventually grew to fit the track very well.
They definitely are playing off the sound of The Stage, which I loved. I think its Synyster Gates best guitar work over all of their discography. This track alone with all the arpeggios and the really well done solo was nuts.
It's funky, it's weird. I like it. A piece of their art and creativity on display. Definitely think it feels like the opening song to the album. So many things are left open to interpretation. I'm excited for what they come up with in the new album.
Oh by the way, my favorite Avenged Sevenfold songs are Nightmare, A Little Piece of Heaven, and So Far Away.
My favorite A7x song is easily Chapter Four
Hard to pick a favorite, but first one that ran through my head was second heartbeat
I think this is great despite matts vocal injury. He sounds different but still sounds like matt just older (obviously) I cant wait for the rest of the album
First listen through, it was a bit of a miss.
Subsequent listens were much kinder. The chorus really lands for me. SUPER catchy. (The chorus is the part with the sweeping)
And I can respect them for trying something new. The tone really shone through. You can feel exactly what they were going for.
Beast and the harlot will always be my fav
There back😮😲
