Avenged Sevenfold have posted a new song, “Critical Acclaim,” for streaming in its entirety on their MySpace page. The single will be available for purchase on August 28 through iTunes, and the self-titled album will be out October 16. My immediate thoughts are as follows:
- YES!! All of you so-called hard-rock / metal fans who don’t like Avenged Sevenfold are totally missing out; this is the band you’ve been waiting for for years. Seriously, what are you guys thinking? Don’t be distracted by the tattoos and haircuts (or do be distracted if you like that sort of thing). This band is fucking AWESOME.
- Clearly they are adequate (if not good) at self-producing.
- Someone finally convinced The Rev to ditch the piccolo snare. Thank god.

The music sounds good but the ranting vocals make this song a bit hard to listen all the way through, even though the best part is the twin guitar work at the end. damn it Shadows! SCREAM like ‘STST’ and ‘WTF’
Hello no, don’t like it. Ive tried to like Avenged but….its not gonna happen with crap like this, imo.
Enough with the social commentary crap. No one cares what A7F thinks. Parts remind me of a way better version of Corporate Avenger (CrapRat Assvenger?), if CA could actually play guitar and sing. Musically it’s good. It’ll get air play for sure and sell well. But it’s not my thing – too much vocal melody.
I’m a fan of aggressive vocal melody. I get real tired of incoherent screaming and/or guttural grunts and growls. What’s the point of some of these ____core bands even writing lyrics?
Production level is way up over earlier releases.
jesus christ if you dont like then shut up…no need to fuckin comment about how you dont like it….face it the song is sicker than shit and avenged are one of the few bands out there nowadays doing anything cool.
Ya, it’s rad…i’m stoked for this for sure!
I’m liking the new song… a lot! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album!
i love a7x,a7x 4 life
Great song, glad to hear shadows scream it out a bit more, maybe his chords are more healed up since WTF, anyways, kick ass message, and the guitars are sick, keep it coming A7X, looking forward to the album if they all shred this good, it’ll be fucking amazing.
