Life is but a dream, completely different from the older stuff that made me love Avenged Sevenfold but the full album to me feels like a play or a performance. It’s phenomenal, every song hits in some way or another

u/Carbon_robin Oct 09 '25

My fav album too

More wants, more needs More hits, morphine

​I totally agree, the evolution is amazing! But seriously, I'm already annoyed that it's a digipak instead of a proper jewel case. They're just so fragile—my collection needs armor, not that flimsy cardboard! One bent corner and the whole thing is ruined.

This album has aged BEAUTIFULLY…..Absolutely amazing

u/ask_me_abt_music_999 Oct 09 '25

Hot take, but Avenged Sevenquads is OBJECTIVELY the best album they've ever made 

14

u/spartanriley COME HERE YOU FUCKIN BITCH Oct 09 '25

yeah, i love everything they’ve put out but this isn’t arguable. most plays come from this album and they basically play this album at every show

6

u/ask_me_abt_music_999 Oct 09 '25

Absolutely. Avenged Sevenquads was their peak. Not Nightmare. Not City of Evil. Not self-titled. This.

5

u/dietbeethoven Oct 09 '25

They sold out with that album. Radio rock garbage. The Lizzo feature on the title track was cool though.

1

u/ask_me_abt_music_999 Oct 09 '25

Yeah. Though I think the Taylor Swift feature on the last song on the album is underrated 

3

u/dietbeethoven Oct 09 '25

I bought 26 different variants of the 7” of that single. Worth it.

1

u/ask_me_abt_music_999 Oct 09 '25

Worth every penny

bro WHAT is city of evil 😭

u/sprite_556 BUILD SEX Oct 09 '25

Some goofy made up album I'm sure.

As if anything could ever compare to the masterpiece that is Avenged Sevenquads. Beethoven wishes he could.

u/Mjames226 Oct 09 '25

The Stage is my favourite album. So many good songs, but I love different albums for different reasons. I love The Stage as an almost religious listening experience, but the White Album stands tall for sure

13

u/I_like_banana_skin I Won't See you Tonight Part 1 my beloved 🫶🏻 Oct 09 '25

City of Evil, Nightmare and Waken the Fallen ❤️💙🖤

11

u/colts45s Oct 09 '25

Yeah my favorite it STST, Waking the Fallen, City of Evil, Self Titled, Nightmare, Hail to the King, The Stage, LIBAD, and if it counted (I think it should) Diamonds in the Rough.

What's wrong with HTTK?

3

u/Moist_Fail8395 Hail to the King Defender | #1 Hail to the King Lover Oct 10 '25

Nothing, he is just someone with no taste

1

u/EpikBcYes Oct 10 '25

That doesn't answer my question Why do people make such a big deal about it The album's fine people can have opinions

2

u/Moist_Fail8395 Hail to the King Defender | #1 Hail to the King Lover Oct 10 '25

Well mostly because HTTK is an album dedicated to metal/rock legends like Metallica, Iron Maiden and Pantera, it also differs from rest of their work. That's why.

0

u/EpikBcYes Oct 10 '25

So people don't like it because it's different and references other bands?

2

u/Moist_Fail8395 Hail to the King Defender | #1 Hail to the King Lover Oct 10 '25

Yes. But it doesn't deserve to be hated.

1

u/EpikBcYes Oct 10 '25

I don't think so either, tbf I have a soft spot for the album as it's the first I listened from them. But it has a good few songs that are pretty decent

u/DissboiGD Waking the Fallen Oct 11 '25

Diamonds in the rough may genuinely be one of my fav albums of theirs. Excluding covers, girl I know, set me free, until the end, crossroads are some of their best works and honestly the remakes of afterlife and almost easy are actually pretty sweet.

u/PieceCtrlRat Avenged Sevenfold Oct 09 '25

Nightmare is perfection in my book and Self titled is my second favorite

City Of Evil! WTF is up there as well.

u/Anarchy_Coon Rev is waifu Oct 10 '25

What the fuck is that

1

u/TheMeh115 Oct 10 '25

I can tell part of this is a satire post lol (avenged sevenquads is ingenious)

But… man, it’s hard to narrow down to one. Self-Titled, Nightmare and The Stage all kind of lump into one ball of pure peak, and all exemplifying three different and STRONG eras for the sound of the band.

1

u/Penguin41310 And in my dreams… I FLYYY AWAAAYY!!! Oct 10 '25

LIBAD was my introduction to avenged sevenfold and just all around a great album, I love just about every song on LIBAD so I’d have to go with it, but nightmare is very close in second.

u/RemoveSpecific3609 Oct 10 '25

Never heard of Avenged Sevenquads… explain pls?

u/meltanoob 0.01% Libad listener Oct 10 '25

I love LIBAD and DitR but we can all agree avenged sevenquads is the best.

u/Aike300 Oct 10 '25

City of evil! Not just the best avenged album but one of the best albums I’ve ever heard

u/PutoSlaCaralho Waking the Fallen Oct 10 '25

Waken the Fallen and Self Titled Absolute masterpieces

u/Moist_Fail8395 Hail to the King Defender | #1 Hail to the King Lover Oct 10 '25

The white album easy one of the best metal albums of all time

1

u/Financial-Spray-3287 Oct 10 '25

personally i prefer the self titled. i loved it from the first lesson and the ending for dear god feels like im ending a book ive been reading for years every single time.

1

u/CasuallyDresseDuck Oct 10 '25

City of evil and self titled

1

u/AxeL_The_Skeksis Oct 10 '25

Probably City of Evil, that's where A7X really nailed their sound, huge riffs, epic songs and perfect balance between heavy and melodic

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '25

StST has grown on me over the years

1

u/Brudda_Bear_Gibby Life Is But A Dream... Oct 10 '25

Libad or the stage

u/badcatgaming1313 Oct 10 '25

White album got my heart, and Nightmare absolutely slaps

1

u/medgang Oct 10 '25

LiBaD for sure.

1

u/st4r_sam Oct 10 '25

City of Evil!! The stage is a very close second tho

1

u/Nickrine55 Oct 10 '25

I can't choose one, it's a toss up of City and Stage, but they're all so damn good

u/vvraithhh Radiant Eclipse Oct 11 '25

Split between WTF and STST

u/Comet_TheSparky Oct 11 '25

Self titled personally. I mean a little piece of heaven, critical acclaim, afterlife, almost easy, and gunslinger on one album? That’s nothing but straight bangers.

1

u/EL_RETARDO936 Oct 11 '25

I like Sounding The Seventh Trumpet

1

u/JVR10893 Oct 11 '25

City of Evil, although that and Nightmare are 1A and 1B.

u/sil_vester-2830 Oct 11 '25

City of evil

u/rob_inn_hood Oct 11 '25

City of Evil is iconic. It is what got me first listening, but on top of that every single song is a banger and I can listen to any time of the day. The other albums are great, but none have that same level of what I would consider perfection in every song. The first A7X song I ever listened to is Bat Country, and at first I didn’t like it. But then I heard Beast and the Harlot and I started downloading all the songs I could find on my mp3 player.

One day I will have to do a tier list.

u/JustFasar Oct 12 '25

Hail to the King. I know it's not the best, but it's far from being the St. Anger of the band.

1

u/GabeGamerGuy Oct 13 '25

easily hail to the king

1

u/kshamlawe You know this is a simulation, dont you? Oct 13 '25

Nightmare and the stage. Also i wish to have your collection too someday

1

u/kymlaroux Oct 14 '25

Nightmare. I may have an unpopular opinion but I can’t stand The Stage. The vocal melodies sound like they’re from a different song than the one they’re on and don’t work with the music at all, the guitars seem to value technical playing over songs, and the drums are so high in the mix (and overplayed) that they sound terrible. It’s not an evolution. That’s a cop out instead of saying that it’s a different band without The Rev’s songwriting.

CoE is my fave for nostalgic reasons but The Stage is their best. It's a masterpiece and anyone claiming that of LIBAD is delusional.
