This is an album that metal snobs will look at in 20 years and regret their comments. Avenged just released a masterpiece...

[@petehorrorwood]

Being different is exactly what they’re trying to do. They want to challenge their audience now, and tell a story through the music! Love the pantera tone vocally on the heavier moments in this one. Been a fan of these guys since the waking the fallen/city of evil era. They’ve been and always will be my favorite band. Wouldn’t be a guitar player without em.

[@libertarianschizo8566]

I think they're critiquing the human condition, on how we always want more but there's false promises in the things we attach ourselves to.

[@Kalebsweeten]

I adore this track. I hope they keep pushing out weird, progressive metal tracks. The dudes are capable of so more then just the radio metal they too often get lumped into.

[@merobb986]

I'm glad to see comments like this. I see so many people crave for more CoE/Nightmare. Those are great in their own right, but this is different, beautiful, and fun. You can tell the guys had a blast making this album already.

[@robdurfee6861]

I’ve heard that Matt and Syn took psychedelics (dmt) and that inspired this album

[@CheeseMcGilligan]

This is true, however the type of dmt they took, 5-MeO-DMT, is not the type which gives you a bunch of crazy visuals and let’s you talk to aliens etc. With 5-MeO the experience is more akin to death, where you experience absolute blackness or whiteness along with complete ego dissolution. I’m pretty sure when they were talking about their experiences with dmt it was in direct reference to nobody, you can probably see the correlation in the lyrics of that song. However, those experiences do tend to have an effect in a broader sense, but I don’t think the experimental nature of this song is directly linked to their use of dmt. Although I could totally be wrong.

Syn uses a slide to play the acoustic part at the end. That is where the weird sound is coming from, as the slide hits and moves over the strings it creates kind of a screeching sound. Love your channel guys!!

It's a winner and a clear follow up from the last single. Remember how Pain flowd seamlessly into each other on the album but was confusing in the videos? 👀 Ax7 are aiming for our times Pink Floyd metal version

2:42 vocal melody is the same as the solo at 5:30. There are TONS of little things like this on this album that we will be discovering for a while. These are musical geniuses trying to keep THEMSELVES stimulated. This isn’t something that will register right away after 1 listen. Enjoyed the reaction!

Yeah once you get what you listen to or listen to more stuff like this,you can understand where they come from,its actually the only band that gets better with time rather than worse...only pantera really did that before

[@profound369]

I loved tf out of this song.

[@colinnugent6580]

Sounds like they went deep into mike Patton’s( Faith no more/ Mr. Bungle) discography. Mr. Bungle is mike pattons more experimental stuff and some of it is downright haunting and gives you a feeling of uneasiness. That being said mike pattons is one of the craziest vocalist’s out there love his stuff.

While they did say several years ago that Kanye played a role in their inspiration behind this album more recently they said the album was inspired by existentialism as well as the writings of french author Albert Camus, who had alot of his philosophical ideas drug from the school of Syndicalist Anarchism

If you've never heard anything like this before go check out the album California by Mr Bungle, and maybe literally all of Faith no more. Ya know what, go listen to anything Mike Patton has ever done. There is a TON of obvious influence from him, and that is not a bad thing! It's very experimental sounding, and that's always fun to hear

[@andrewvasquez7872]

He said they took inspiration from Kanye and Daft Punk and I am not a Kanye Aficionado but I know enough to know what he means by that by also saying Daft Punk and hes just mostly referencing the electronic elements they both had in their music mixed with rap/hip hop.

[@boyrafael27]

for the first time i listen this song i assume that's a weird music. but, after i listen for more i think they're intellectuals in the guise of musicians! they're fvck u up about his hybrid music, they're just want to highlights what the human doing to this earth, the drive to always want more and more, eventually leading to the ultimate destruction of civilization. that's was brilliant vision! And that's why i love this band since waking the fallen album and they're still the GOAT for me all the time!

[@Rock-n-Rolla369]

Really not sure what to think about this album. I think the pressure for most bands is that they are forced to develop a record around a certain theme or subject, which can sometimes hinder creativity. Maybe this record isn’t really about anything in particular and they’re just trying to experiment with different sounds.

[@wolfsongcg6497]

This song is so screwed up. I love it. I love when a band experiments and paints outside the lines.

Its already my top 5 songs from them,and for reference i started listening to them around the white album Id suggest listening to phlegmatics by mr bungle or Platypus i think thats the inspiration for the intro

[@maxpower3555]

I think it’s phlegmatics. The middle part reminds me of me bungle’s first album - slowly growing deaf especially. Then the second chorus with the dissonance and the instruments stripped right back is similar to how that song does it too. Amazing journey this song takes you on.

[@paulobolanos2873]

This álbum is similar to Mr Bungle

[@rsferrari1432]

So, what a lot of people don’t understand is in progressive metal style. You usually have chaos leading up to a release tension point. This song seems to do just that. Makes you really appreciate the pretty parts in a song after listening to the chaos first. They are taking no risks in my opinion but doing different yet amazing things with this album. Its exciting. Its not another typical metal song. It grabs your ears and keeps you in it. Thats what I love about them.

[@LookItIsHope]

I'm going to say when I first heard this song, I thought it was awful. Like I really thought it was one of the worst things I've ever heard. Then I watched multiple people react to it & the more I listened to it via those videos (whether the reactors liked it or not), the more I started to like it a little. Tho I still felt off with it. The explanation here, where if you could take off the first 30 seconds' vocals off the song is something I can very much agree with. I actually didn't like any part of that first 30 seconds. Taking out that part would make me like this song that much more, because the rest of the song is alright. Not great, but not really bad either. I will say I preferred Nobody over this one, but this one is still decent. Talking again about taking off the first 30 seconds tho, I also don't think it should start with the "More ____ , Build _____ " part. I wonder what could be put in that beginning part instead of whatever that was in the beginning?
