Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold has always been a band obsessed with retribution, as their name and recorded output show. Peculiarly for a monstrous metal band, the members seem to have no problem turning a reflective eye inward rather than, but occasionally with, a vicious eye pointed at the outside...

After a few years of retrospective, my opinion of Avenged Sevenfold remains about the same. I would probably keep the rating the same, but I don't think it is the weakest album by the band anymore.
