"I don't know that everyone's going to love this album," Vengeance admitted, "in fact, I do know that everyone's not going to love this album and that's okay. Even if we tried to write an album with a "Hail to the King," a "Bat Country," a "Nightmare," an "Afterlife" and all of our hits and we smushed it all into this album and called it Nightmare Part Two, people still wouldn’t like it. There's no way to win everyone over, so who are you appealing to? Are you trying to write an album solely to get a pat on the back?" "The answer is no-you're writing the album based on everything you feel in your heart and your soul and all the experiences that led you there ... Nothing great exists until you're able to get outside of your comfort zone." - Loudwire interview with Zacky V.

[@dangaiden]

For me this is a really weird album... as you say one of the "best" albums after 2016 (meaning this album after 7 years!): I do listen a lot of other different music but it's too weird for me that this is A7X.

Could things be changed? Do we serve a greater purpose, or there's just no point? I don't know for sure. I don't understand life. Life is but a dream: We will cease to exist. Why? How would it feel? Will it hurt? Is there a place for my soul to go? Will it be sad, will I find peace? Will I remind my existence, or whatever remains is oblivion? Is it there a second chance? But in the end, I'll die. And we don't know what happens next. That, if anything is supposed to happen at all. I don't know for sure. I don't understand death.

I dropped off from A7X around the time I graduated high school in 2008 but I'm glad I came back and gave this album a listen. It's a masterpiece from start to finish and, I think, the best of their career. Bravo.

[@thedavidfield1]

Chills. Literally chills. Fuck, you guys are awesome! See you in IL! ❤

[@Punk_rayado]

I love the fact that It's like the song has no intro, and begins with a verse melody. Sounds like the song started even before the song starts. I'm speachless... the whole album is a masterpiece, and the concept of the album it's so amazing (sorry for my english jajaja)

[@النطاق]

wow, this album hit me so hard. just make me cry, scream, fly, and anyway this just another MASTERPIECE from them. ladies and gentlemen, Avenged Sevenfold. thankyou, i was so happy with all song from this album. thankyou!

[@mattmisso7644]

Just listening to this whole album now, and all I can say is wow. Just wow. It's so different from their original music, and yet still chef's kiss. Just great. The Piano instrumental in the final song "Life is but a dream" is just beautiful. Literal tears in my eye after listening. Great Job Avenged, love your music. Whole heartedly

Feels like this is the part of a movie credit scene . . . .

[@mlgsnip3rv291]

This album should be in an art museum

[@FB0102]

A7X constantly evolves, and nudges everyone to come along and make us appreciate it and love it

[@codee6659]

Play fiction, life is but a dream, I won’t see you tonight part 1 & 2, and warmness on the soul in a row, some of the most beautiful piano and darkest saddest songs they’ve made by far!

[@jrr667]

Such a beautiful conclusion.

[@dms14]

I won't see you tonight vibes.....brilliant

[@nutty_rickrolled_mikey]

It has that same chord progression

[@thesilvershining]

This is a masterpiece as full of emotion as any great classical masterwork…. all my respect!

[@perry3770]

This makes me think of the journey through life always comes to an end. Look back at the history of what made you who you are today.

[@matheus_lima2503]

A fase mais virtuosa do Avenged. Talvez estejamos chegando no maus alto auge da criatividade deles, comparando-os com lendas passadas: Beatles, Led Zepellin, Queen, Dream Theater. Agora: Avenged Sevenfold

[@EnggarNawendra]

This Album totally was like an Opera

[@iHugoMMM]

It is just so amazing to finish an album like this with this piano. For me, I feel like it's like a sensation of "finally, I am at peace". It's like this song is trying to tell us that, even if there was struggle, bad times, sad moment, in the end, we can be certain that we will be at peace. Specially after 2:22 , I don't know but it just makes me tear up everytime. I've been an A7X fan since 2010 and I must say that this is an awesome album and definetly my top 1!

[@TidesofWarHighlights]

Been listening to this piece over and over especially at night and in upon waking to help me feel "at peace", couldn't have said it any better!

[@ronniechamberlain8445]

The intro on this song is stuck in my head.the trickling/stutter step followed with the super high keys. Make is sound like the piano is weeping. Just beautiful

[@psell8628]

Thank you Sting!

[@hit1754]

Everytime I hear this song, I see the Rev just having a great time on the piano.

[@pologamexd4324]

Ahora puedo decir que también hacen música clásica ❤

[@lupyanox]

[@niksriga]

Thank you, Syn for the inspiration to play the piano!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

This is just hauntingly beautiful. Such a great way to close out the album.

[@mxlcom9193]

[@InfamousDominion]

This piece reminds me of the Victorian era. Im totally here for it.

[@thedude5107]

[@gabecox2862]

Usually i dont listen to A7X to calm myself but this helped me ease myself when i was on the verge of a panic attack and im just in love with it
