How on earth Californian swill merchants Avenged Sevenfold have managed to get to their fourth album is anyone’s guess as the only people who seem to willingly listen to them are the 15-year-old, emo-fringe perfected kids who hang outside Urbis all day on a Saturday.
But let us not dwell on the past as the new single Almost Easy paints a promising future for the band…as still being one of the worst to be recorded on disc. The fourth-rate Maiden riffs are still there, while M Shadows’ lyrics remain equally cringe worthy – sticking to the same subjects they’ve done for years, suicide, insanity (maybe that last one explains why they’re so bad), etc.
Knocking these guys is more than almost easy. Hell, its downright fun too.
