The fact that this wasn't played in the Barbie movie is a travesty
I told mt gf I would have watched it if this song was in it
It could sounds great when Barbie wakes up and she don't want to do anything. We lose one great chance hahaha
hope you guys never let brooks quit of the band, this guy is absolutely creative
My favorite part of all of this is how Brooks’ music influenced their old sound and now he’s on the drums to push the band even further.
Love that dam wackerman
He’s a genius 😅
Lol he has 0 songwriting credits what are you talking about
@@JavierPwns He wrote the drum work, just because it doesn't say it doesn't mean he didn't do it. It was likely a mistake. Plus he has the writing credits on apple music so.....
Lyrics:
My vinyl skin provides protection
It holds in place my plastic bones
Cast button eyes reflect an image
And all seems as it should
But there's nobody home
Cue the breeze
That sway the painted trees
Toy yellow birds upon the rooftops sing
In chorus with the buzzing bees
Melt in Sun L.E.D. beams
From the sky being held on a string
While boredom tears me apart at the seams
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves
In
Hell
Round head consumed with major nothings
Ears made of wax unfit to hear
Day after day, it all plays over
Dedicated loop
Same year after year
Please attend
All model citizens
R.S.V.P. if we can count you in
Empty as we play pretend
Send our thoughts with you and to your kin
And in case I don't see you again
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves
In
Hell
Living feign in porcelain
And just smart enough to know nothing at all
Pull my string and make me cry

A semblance of choice when there's no choice at all

This one's decent, kinda kills the momentum from the awesome starter track though. Track 3 next
THE TRUMAN SHOW REFERENCE IS CRAZY
😊
@@vladrosu2698 Please enlighten the foreigners like me
@@oliverhommel5522 basically at the end of the movie and as well as the beginning of the movie, the truman show. jim carey’s character, truman, always says these lines after people say good morning to him, in case if i don’t see you again, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight. one of the most iconic ending sciences in history
Most of these tracks are fresh. You can't compare them to anything else in their discography. Really cool stuff going on. Im so glad A7X is back!
are trash*
I would also argue the opposite to be honest. Some of these tracks feel like Avenged were trying to go back to that "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" feeling albeit with a "fresh" perspective.
They've always built upon their previous work and the way they give us something new, yet familiar, is one of the things I love the most about this band.
@@RubenDanielBrito Nope
A7x are back? do u even listen to their previous album? sound terrible to me
This album has vocals and guitar. So does their previous albums. Ready to compare
How do people even come up with a sound like this? Goes beyond everything I could've expected. I'm blown away!!
Guess that's what happens when you do dmt and spend 7 years writing an album lol
Only with the usage of DMT
Sure, they play doom eternal or something cuz this its insane
@@gabadaba5436 what is dmt ?
@@alyx_4114 A drug.
The album gets better every time you listen to it, amazing.
exactly, i dunno whats up with that but it just gets better
Hahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂
The mark of a great album. You don't get it apon first listen but the more you listen to it, you start to GET IT.
Goosebumps!! The concert was epic…!
Totally agree, the first time I heard it I wasn't sure but now I cant stop listening to it, its so freaking awesome.
Never stop using the brass, piano, strings or choirs in your songs. They always give me chills.
Should have been used in the Barbie movie.
agreed
@@unoriveskad5568 agreed
At least in the credits
Wait for me.
I'm on the project
this is NUTS
Berd
Berd TF2 here?
I never expected you to be here lmao
why is this at the top
@@ScarlettTheRav because Berd
those screams are everything! oh how I've missed them!
The drumming on this track reminded me so much of Jimmy.
i cant get over that second transition after "ive smelled the plastic daisies" that second time hits so hard that bodies turn in their graves.
@2:52
The best song of the album in my opinion. Cosmic and Easier are very good too. Hope they play these songs in the tour.
The production of the megaphone sound are incredible but I think cosmic wins the album. Such a pure song
I really like Beautiful Morning.
100% Agree!, Cosmic is amazing
Bro dont tell me that when im only 2 songs in haha
Really hope for Mattel and Cosmic on the next tour. S tier song from them
4:34 Brooks🔥🔥🔥
Avenged sevenfold rarely has any haters in the comments. I love it
bro ion even like ax7 but this is one of the best albums i’ve heard in my life😭😭😭😭
@@forthebears7such a great album.
unfortunately i’ve seen many, but they’re just some dumbass 9 year olds getting mad the new album’s not a new “nightmare”
avenged sevenfold works with what they have and do what they want. they don’t care if they lose fans, massive respect.
This album is beautiful. This song, along with G, Easier, Cosmic, and Game Over, are all freaking amazing!!! EVERY song in this album is pure art. Massive MASSIVE props to Avenged Sevenfold!!
do you think the same on ordinary?
@@soulfly6661 is Good as the others but mattel, game over, easier and nobody are the core of this new sound
I love (D)eath and Life is But A Dream as well.
I'll just add Beautiful morning to this, with Easier, G and Cosmic. I'm almost wanting to say these ones are the best they ever made.
@@soulfly6661ordinary is WTF at first, then it gets you and ends up being a catchy tune.
I love the drop when he says “but there’s nobody home”
3:29 it's just beautiful, I'm literally crying, this album is pure art ❤️
this part hit me hard
I can’t even begin to understand much less explain how this album made me feel. Parts of it made me relive past experiences, and parts showed me glimpses of the future. We love you A7X ❤❤
This is the best song in the album.
This whole album is fire. I just think there is a few more better ones than this, when I say few I say this song is in the top 3 in this album, other 2 I think are better are easier and life is but a dream. Honestly the 3 highlight songs of this album but don’t get me wrong this whole album should be put in a museum
kntlmu,lagu gawenak ngene cok
@@BrianSmith-lv3bsseriously, this is pure gold.
This song gave me absolute chills. Wow, what a sound. What a beat. What music. It's perfection.
5:17 Its 12:08 A.M. east coast...my god what did this song just do to me...A7X just pushed the boundaries of their genre here like no one else....this is incredible 😎
Yes, quite. East Coast as well. This just happen to show up on my feed. I'm very very happy with new music from my dream team.
I think this song and album hit the soul on every coast
@@cabobpolasek2517 Beautifully said and well put! I agree! Not just in rock or metal, but music in general needed a shot in its veins like this..
@@cabobpolasek2517 Darn tootin.
Dude, this fucking sucks lol
*Mattel Shadows 🤘*
The whole album is beautiful. I can’t believe that it isn’t even a day old yet I listened to all of the tracks
3:32 love this part
These songs just get better and better with each listen
The production on this album is damn near perfect imo
fr it almost feels cinematic, i get goosebumps hearing this album
Disagree, only bad thing about this album is production...its different from your regular metal production sure but the drums sound so fake..the shell also sounds muddy
@@mrbungle3310 how do the drums sound fake? Triggered drums don't sound like that at all
@@mrbungle3310 And they totally fit in with the rest.
@@high440 Audio Technica ATH-M40x
top 5 avenged sevenfold songs easily .
So easily
This album is pretty weak compared to the others, but yeah I agree
This song hits harder than my drunk, belligerent, uncle.
Hits harder than my mom too😫
@Eta she cut the crust of your sandwiches too? Lol
@@jaxjagsa7x only when we ask lol
hits harder than my girlfriend too
Hits harder than the floor after passing out....
You guys have proved me right. I knew you'd be this amazing. I've already enjoyed the wild ride for almost 20 years. I'm sure Jimmy is happy too. Thank you for everything.
I dunno man, that's setting the bar pretty low for quality.
@@theincrediblefella7984 how!?🤣
@@theincrediblefella7984 Aint no way bro criticized one of this year’s best albums💀💀💀💀💀💀
bro i read the name Jimmy and now im crying
@@bob_b9349 ain't no way bro needlessly sucking the cock of his precious hand 💀💀💀💀
Timeless album. Must win a Grammy
Grammys aren't worthy. The guys know it.
The only thing this album is winning, and deservedly so, is multiple "Worst Album of the Year" awards.
As someone who has been on anti-consumerism and finds myself almost always overstimulated by the constant advertising and marketing of the world, this song makes me feel so heard.
This is an amazing social critique with great wordplay
😂
This sounds so cool, and Wes Lang's art is PERFECT for this album! We Love you a7x
i'm so grateful to be able to see you guys evolve, this album is amazing..
Although I’m a bigger fan of Avenged Sevenfold’s older works, I can admit that this may be one of the most brilliant songs they ever released in their entire career. This song makes me feel a way I can’t describe, especially the 0:40 second mark. I hope there’s more songs out there that sound like this one.
the super deep bass that starts at 4:22 is crazy, i love that
The philosophic meaning of this album puts this up there with the depth of The Wall.
I feel like I’ve waited soooo long for this album. This is the 3rd song I’m hearing and I am not disappointed in the slightest. Everything y’all do is masterful. Best rock band ever
definately listen to life is but a dream last. it needs the context of the rest of the album. imo at least.
@@kebry1496 yeah, fits perfectly with (D)eath's end
Yassss🙌 totally agree❤️
@@kebry1496 the piano genuinely struck me as something Jimmy would've come up with
@@ripit.3457 hes on parts of the album
3:30 Pinkly Smooth - Drop D! 😍 What a beautiful tribute to The Rev
3:00 that reminds me a bit of Save Me
It's so beautiful, what a beautiful melody
Was not expecting them to include part of a Pinkly Smooth song on this album!.. 3:30 to 4:00 is the melody from the bridge in the song called Drop D.
The Rev lives on
1. They finally realized more people need to hear it.
Or
2. They're running out of ideas as far as a band.
@@natsusatsujinki8342 I'm going with 1
@@natsusatsujinki8342 stupid
This whole album is by far the most impressive artistic accomplishment of this band
My favorite track off of this awesome album.
2:52 3:31 The drumming in this bridge was actually written by The Rev they just couldn't find a place to put it. 14 years after his death they found a way to include him on their newest album.
btw. G, (O)rdinary, and (D)eath spell GOD just in case anybody didn't catch onto that.
How do you know?

I love avenged sevenfold, y’all did amazing
This song just grabs a hold of you and does not let go, until it completely rips your soul from your body. It is definitely one of my favorites. The vibrations just shock you inside. It's incredible.
I think
Its the best song of the album.
Its sounds like A7X❤
OMG i'm in love with this album... i never heard something like this album before... Mind blowing
i am so insanely impressed by this album, a masterpiece for sure
hope the boys don't make us wait another 6 years for the next album. they are geniuses!!! can't get enough of their music 🤘
Quality > Quantity
@@im3phirebird81 ok
@@im3phirebird81yes but I don't want them to pull another TOOL on us again
@@rand0mguyontheinternet bitch please we waited 13 years. And the album would have been out just a little sooner if Matt didn't get a vocal blister. He was on no speaking for 6 months....with a threat of well. Blowing his vocals permanently......I can wait
Yall greedy, take it slow and just let the music hit further until you've ascended
trip-hop heavy jazz🤘
It's like "Diamonds in the rough" and "The stage" had a baby in this song, I love it!
Diamonds in the rough is just b-sides lmaoo
@@IsopropylAlchemist so what ?
@@IsopropylAlchemist you think Demons and Dancing Dead are just b sides?
I absolutely LOVE the transition into the solo. Gives me chills every time! 🤘
References to Truman's Show "in case i don't see you again good afternoon, good evening and good night", and philosophy in the line "smart enough to know nothing at all" (Socrates), made it my favorite song of A7x.
I consider it a master piece that had the braveness to do something different adding unpredictable things, and putting weird effects in certain moments, without sounding "hard to hear", the expressiveness of the vocals it's like a theatre performance, using reverb to sound So far away from us (in certain moments), lyrics are just perfect referring a daily metaphor, and finally singing nor playing this song isn't close to be Almost easy 😉.
A wonderful song that really describes the life in the eyes of monotony, and how people are just slaves of the desires that came out of nowhere, filling our internal abyss with "normality", and refusing to accept that we lost humanity trying to be humans, sometimes feeling like we're being Buried alive in this catastrophe that we call "Society".
This is my favorite on the entire LIBAD album. Cosmic close second. Absolutely masterful
Just a random observation. Mattel has a lyric: “toy yellow bird upon the rooftop sings…” And when looking at the Aqua music video for “Barbie girl”, the first clip is a toy yellow bird chirping…
Cute coincidence I think💕
(Mattel the brand is also responsible for making Barbie and the imagery within A7X “Mattel” has a lot of plastic, still life imagery which made me think of the plastic Barbie doll)
Greatest rock band of our generation.
That's debatable
@@HighTierGaming123no it's not. Avenged sevenfold continues to evolve. And not just evolve but do it successfully. How many bands were great, changed their sound and just lost it? Avenged sevenfold is enduring
I love the Truman Show quote just blatantly dropped in this song. Fucking love it
Holy shit brings to the for front the plasticity of the world and how it all means nothing ...Matt you have inspired me to write again😊
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE
Gotta admit, as a LONG time fan, i heard the first 2 singles and thought What the fuck?? But after many listens, and the whole album available to listen, I am beyond impressed!! Thank you guys!!
Lol! That happened to me too when I first listened to this new album. I've been an A7X fan since I was like 15..I'm 35 now. I go see them in concert in October for their Life is but a dream tour. It's gonna be wicked. Nobody is going to be wild live. I'm also hoping for So Far Away.
@@Lilithwyn420 I'm hoping they play cosmic and beautiful morning 😊
Both are great!
Fun fact: M.Shawdows and Gates took lot of inspiration from Albert Camus's novel the stranger. They also stated that a DMT trip influenced the style/theme of the whole album.
And in case I dont see you again. Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.. The Truman Show Vibes...the whole song really...
the first time hearing shadows scream "HELL" Chills! FUCK YES!!! needed this
Honest the best song in the album
My best friend got me into this band and i just became obsessed after their recent concert
i went to see barbie expecting this song....
and damn that synyster gates cameo surprised me😮😮😮😮!
easily the best song off the album
Barbenheimer Song 💗💣
Its a beautiful day. My daughter just surprised me with tickets to the IL show. This is the best thing to happen to me in many many years. I HAVE THE BEST KID IN THE WORLD
I just dont get the complaints. There is sound from every album here and honestly Mattel is one of their best.
3:15 I'm literally beating my eggs for breakfast and they might come out fluffy now. Beat them eggs like it owed me money. Lol
Unbelievably poetic. Didn't know they still made absolute BANGERS like this anymore.
The fact that people say Cosmic is better than Mattel still baffles me. Both are good in their own right, but this is just legendary.
Brooks is an absolute monster. Jimmy left everyone some serious shoes to fill but brooks has done as good a job as you could ask. His double bass skills are unreal
This song features contributions from Jimmy
if you think their music are weird, you had a cheap taste of music, because A7X is one of genius musicians!
imagine if A7X came from 90's band, did you still hating their song? i think if they're came from 90's, their music will be equal with Metallica, GNR, Dream Teather. and i believe you will never think A7X song are weird, and you will never hating their music because they're 90's band. their music is anti mainstream and unique.
everything is about perspective, and half of people will stuck in cheap taste of music and love to listening mainstream music
I wonder what Jim Carey would think of this tune LMAO Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight~
HAHAHAHA I thought the exact thing! 😂😂
Love the originality of the new songs, a breath of fresh air
3:30 the best part in the album .
Definitivamente es la mejor parte
Es droga 🖤
This album goes all over the place like my emotions
What just happened, unbelievable drums all tune is a masterpiece.
For some reason, i feel some details from the white album in this song.
Avenged Sevenfold's dive into technical and experimental sound was the best choice imaginable. The Stage did a great job to kick it off and I can tell in this album they were able to take that while returning to the familiar sound of past records.
this is gonna sound so dope live!!
Can confirm! Ottawa show was nuts last night
I’m obsessed with the entire song, but particularly the 3rd “plastic daisies” part 4:23 with full instrument backing 4:37 followed by the 4th iteration of that progression with no lyrics and the choral accompaniment. It has a quality that I can’t put into words. Like the progression doesn’t seem to follow progression trends of today, but just has a disco-era lineage. Just in chord progression, not in feel. A7X does more than enough to bring that progression into their world. If sped up slightly it almost sounds like something ELO could have written.
I heard negative stuff about this, I dont understand it, I was expecting some awful audio or something but this is just avenged sevenfold. They sound exactly how i expected them to. If you dont dig it you probably dont like these guys in general
Because the majority like familiarity and lack an imagination. They have preconceived notions. They don't want Art, they want product. Lack of appreciation
It’s all alright, nobody is by far the best track other then this song. Not a big fan of this album. It doesn’t compare to their prior releases at all
No I like every single one of their albums except this. I've always listened to avenged sevenfold my whole life and I was really hyped about this album, but to be honest I'm disappointed in this
well httk is their biggest album and if that doesn't say anything about the general audiences idk what does
Its alot to take in as an album but its the best album of the year.
To all the people saying they miss the old A7X, it’s not up to u what they do. I mean heaven forbid they experiment and make something new and interesting, that’s what art and music is, pushing the boundaries and trying something new
Old Avenged never hit the spot for me like this. I always had a soft spot for them but wouldn't go out of my way to hear it.
LIBAD is different 🤷
If you go into this expecting it to be like nightmare or city of evil you'll be like what the fuck but if you listen to what matts been saying and you expect something different it's nice and fresh I think this song is peak aswell
I've loved you guys for over 14 years now. and I'll stay that way.
Mattel
Beautiful Morning
Cosmic
Top 3
My fav band since I was a little girl for a reason 🫡
I started listening to them awhile ago but it was after 2017 and was never able to find concerts with them until now and I can’t wait
been to there concert this week, it was amazing!!!
Everyone keeps comparing this to SOAD but I hear more Faith No More in the new album. The piano, sporadicness, even his vocal melodies sound like Mike Patton. This album is definitely better than I expected.
I was thinking the same thing, this album reminds me a lot of Faith No More.
Yeah, i hear FNM and Mr Bungle on the album, not SOAD.
The only SOAD I hear are the screams
Yeah I told my co worker that they were channeling their inner Faith No More all the way back when they released Nobody. I’m here for it!! I love when bands take risks like this! Can’t wait to see them in October
Crazy new album
Bout to see you guys in 3hrs! Much love from Quebec!
I can’t count how many times I have listened to this song. I know the lyrics by heart .so amazing
Best song on the album
