A7th Circle of ShitX

Yesterday while I was doing homework I got distracted by downloading and watching the sweet necture of music flowing through my computer. I downloaded Saves The Days newest record (the new one comes out next week), The Gym Class Heroes record that came out in July called "As Cruel as School Children), and finally the very anticipated Avenged Sevenfold self titled record. Ok lets take a trip down memory lane...

Sounding the Seventh Trumpet:Was an awesome harder record by A7X. This record had a lot of awesome licks and lead lines, despite the quailty of the recording being a little off it was still a pretty decent record.

Waking the Fallen: Then we move into the medal winner of A7X's repertoire. This was probably one of the first hard records that i really got into. The guitar parts were memorable and the lyrics were epic, basically everything you expected from the cover of the record, which is it their infamous skull with wings. I really can't say enough about how awesome this record was. It will forever be a corner stone in my rock and roll foundation.

City of Evil: Supposively M. Shadows destroyed his vocal chords and thats why there is more singing on this record. The this record was released and someone said, "Wow A7x is really starting to encompass Guns'n'Roses version of rock and roll." I think that went to much to their head. This record was actually pretty good it's sad to say, but it kind of is. There are is everything that you want in a record here. I'll admit after listening to waking the fallen for so long and then i heard the single "Beast and the Harlot" i was like WHAT THE FUCK?! but i'll give this record a good listen to every once and a while when i want to hear awesome guitar licks...thank you sinister.

S/T: Come the fuck on! I heard that they were coming out with a new record, but didn't pursue it much and then one day i was on the myspace music video pages, like i do, and saw their video for "Almost Easy." I watched the video and i couldn't belief how much the song really blew, which i gave them the benefit of the doubt sometimes labels choose an awful song for the bands single. Well after giving the whole album an honest chance...Fuck me it blows so much. The first track, which to me can be on of the most important on the record, was an open d chord for most of the song except for some wailing from sinister, then shadows gives a speech about patriotism twice. The songs are horribly written with bullshit for memorable parts.

So i laugh as josh said to those kids that got A7X tattoos and plead with the band just fucking stop....fucking stop.
