    The Timelapse of the Universe
    0:00-1:31 The almost empty universe
    1:31-2:20 The Big Bang
    2:20-4:06 The constant yet instability formation of stars and exo planets
    4:06-4:40 The formation of the Milky way. A place utterly insignificant and almost unregarded among the other millions
    4:40-5:20 Earth formed and a part of us slips away forming the moon, which gravitates towards Earth. Forever then.
    5:20-6:10 Our planet Earth revolving around it's axis, cooling down...
    6:10-6:56 Water showering over Earth and the so thought Art begins
    6:56-7:26 Evolution takes place from the first anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria to the hominids
    7:26-11:45 Humans. The wannabe supreme beings reigns over. ( I sincerely do not know if this was a pretty neat idea) Till then, bask in with the final words of My Tyson.
    11:45-15:40 ... "Until the rise of a new visionary culture, the cosmic perspective; a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither of the above nor below, but within."

    M Shadows put it so appropriately "this album is a grower, not a shower". It took me some getting used to but after a week or so of listening straight through and then listening each song individually at different times I'm finding myself unable to stop listening. Thumbs up for the way they went after this album. Also the new drummer is really fucking good, so thumbs up to him as well

      Syn is def a guitar great but his technical ability and playstyle isn't all that proficient, there's dudes who can out shred him and out melody him as in they make more interesting stuff. But i wouldnt want him in any other band, these guys are the perfect mold together.

      Mate, you need Colors by Between the Buried in Me in your life, it flows as one massive track but songs like Ants of the Sky, Sun of Nothing, and White Walls will blow your mind. Or if you like that outro you better go and listen to Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. This is a great track and I hope they can push themselves to go even further outside the stock Avenged sound.

    for y'all guitarist out there, the acoustic section chords starting at 6:55 are the following A# - Am - Dm (x6 times) then the next figure is A# - Am - G - F - C - Dm.. that circle is used for the verses, now the chorus when he sings "I'm sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone" the chords are F - C - F - C then the change is A# - Am - C and then C - G - Am - G - Dm - Am - G. thats it :)

    For anyone who cares to know, some of the lines Neil deGrasse Tyson speaks can be found in his newest book, "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry". The last chapter goes a little more in-depth on this particular subject than Exist does, but the general idea is the same. It's an amazing book, I recommend buying and reading it or possibly checking it out at the library!

    We could do so much more. It's depressing to think about.

    This is absolutely my favorite Avenged Sevenfold song ever written, next would be The Stage. I've been following them since City of Evil, and while I love and respect their previous and amazing albums, there's a magic, maturity, and awareness that leaves me in awe. M. Shadow's voice and the guitar virtuosity perfectly represent the conceptual idea that surrounds the album and really gives that surreal tone of the universe, existence, and life.

    "Far beyond the dreams of everyone" - because we can never know what's beyond the edge of the observable universe

    I've seen some confusion in the comments, so for those who don't know, Neil deGrasse Tyson wrote his speech at the end himself, specifically for this song, not M. Shadows. Tyson is that much more of a badass in my mind, knowing that he is also an A7X fan! Also, Brooks Wackerman is straight fucking awesome in this song, especially during the speech. 'Exist' might be my new favorite A7X, more so than 'A Little Piece of Heaven,' I can't stop listening to this song! \m/

      NDT isn't an a7x fan unfortunately. They wanted a sound byte from an old TV show, but were denied the rights to use it. Tyson was their second choice. They approached him with the offer and Tyson asked if it would be for educational purposes or if anyone could learn from it, and avenged basically said that's what they want, and Tyson said if it will help educate someone or get them to learn then I'll do it. He has no affiliation with, or even knew who a7x was prior.

    I think this song sums up Avenged Sevenfold for a lot of people. Like someone will refer Avenged Sevenfold, they’ll act like they’re interested, but they’re not. Eventually they’ll cave in and look it up. The first part of the song is what they see, and it looks intriguing. Then the further they explore the more intense it gets and the better it sounds. Then finally, towards the end of the song, they decide that they’re going to get a tattoo of the Avenged Sevenfold Skull with wings and they show up to every live event and start creating their own t-shirts etc. xD, It’s kind of true for some people, like once they hear a song they start becoming interested, and then they listen to other songs, and that happens for a while, and then it becomes one of their favorite bands. To be honest the history of the band is pretty cool, and the fact that it’s fan base is growing larger everyday is awesome.
