comment |
The self-titled fourth album by Avenged Sevenfold was released on October 30, 2007, by Warner (Bros.) Records. This is the band's first and so far only album to be entirely self-produced. Musically, it is Lighter and Softer than usual and spins the Genre Roulette while moving even further away from their metalcore roots after preceding album City of Evil.This is also the last Avenged Sevenfold album to be completed with drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan, who died early into the production of their follow-up album, 2010's Nightmare. Tracklist: "Critical Acclaim" (5:16) "Almost Easy" (3:55) "Scream" (4:49) "Afterlife" (5:53) "Gunslinger" (4:12) "Unbound (The Wild Ride)" (5:12) "Brompton Cocktail" (4:13) "Lost" (5:02) "A Little Piece of Heaven" (8:01) "Dear God" (6:34) Principal Members: M. Shadows - Lead vocals Synyster Gates - Lead guitar, backing vocals Zacky Vengeance - Rhythm guitar, backing vocals Johnny Christ - Bass, backing vocals The Rev - Drums, backing and lead vocals |

Songs of Solace: "Gunslinger" is about a soldier missing his family while serving in a war. "Dear God" is about a drifter missing the people he's left behind. |

comment |
Black Comedy: "A Little Piece of Heaven" is a campy, orchestral, macabre mini-opera about a guy who brutally murders his girlfriend out of paranoia and abuses her corpse until she comes back to kill him in the same way he killed her. The dark humor is more pronounced in the video. |

Genre Roulette: There is groove metal ("Scream"), thrashy hard rock ("Almost Easy"), an orchestral mini-opera ("A Little Piece of Heaven"), symphonic metal ("Afterlife"), another musical number ("Critical Acclaim"), and country ("Dear God", the beginning of "Gunslinger"). |

Epic Rocking: The songs are generally shorter here than they were on City of Evil, but "A Little Piece of Heaven" (8:01) and "Dear God" (6:34) still qualify. |

Lighter and Softer: This is one of the poppiest Avenged Sevenfold albums (at least for the most part), making a complete departure from metalcore. Even the darkest song ("A Little Piece of Heaven") is a Black Comedy. |
