Their first album wasn’t great, but their second album was next level metal core and it only gets better from that point. People shit on Hail to The King but it was a phase. Every band has one, just ask Metallica in 1995
Enjoyed the video! I've been a huge Avenged fan since I was in middle school way back in 07. I didn't really know them then other than Bat Country. I ended up staying with the sister for a while and the white album happened to come out the same week. We listened to it non-stop and I fell in love. Haven't looked back since. Many ups and downs along the way but these guys have always been my favorite. Here is my album list Sounding: Below Average Waking: Good City of Evil: Amazing White: Great Nightmare: Amazing HTTK: Okay The Stage: Masterpiece LIBAD: Masterpiece These ranks have changed a lot for me as I've gotten older. White album used to be my favorite and I still love it, but going back and listening to some of them, they feel old and boring. Obviously, many of their songs are amazing, but The Stage held me over for 7 years while waiting for new music, and even with LIBAD out, I still go back to it frequently. They are an amazing band and I love hearing anything new from them. They aren't afraid to be themselves and challenge their listeners. When "We Love You" dropped a single before LIBAD came out I was shocked at what I was hearing. And the opening to "Nobody" was so different I couldn't believe they had that looping the whole time. Now both of those songs are just bangers and I can't imagine the songs any different. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. Nice content, keep it up!
Reactions have been dropping in views for all TH-cam channels over the last year or so. It's been getting to the point where it only hurts the channel. Sticking to other music content for now but might return to reactions on special occasions
There's something that feels different with avenged sevenfold ballads they just don't feel complete or amazing so I understand. I personally enjoy metallica ballads or panteras way better but gunslinger is a fire song. While on the topic of ballads since u have listened to vulgar what was ur opinion on hollow and this love I reckon they're amazing. But yeah good album ranking overall
Shame about the LIBAD reactions. Your reaction videos were always great. Regardless, good video and I mostly agree with your ranking with a few exceptions. Mine have changed over the years but I'd say nowadays my ranking and favorite songs are: Masterpiece - City of Evil (The Wicked End, M.I.A., Bat Country) / LIBAD (We Love You, Nobody, Cosmic) Amazing - The Stage (Exist, Fermi Paradox, Roman Sky) / Waking the Fallen (Clairvoyant Disease, IWSYT Pt. 1, Eternal Rest) Great - Avenged Sevenfold (Afterlife, Gunslinger, Brompton Cocktail) / Nightmare (Save Me, Tonight the World Dies, God Hates Us) Good/Okay - Sounding the Seventh Trumpet (We Come Out at Night, Darkness Surrounding, Streets) Bad/God Awful - Hail to the King (Planets, Heretic, Shepherd of Fire) I also stopped listening to them after HttK. I thought that album was crap except for those three songs which I thought were acceptable, Planets being the best out of the three. I couldn't be happier when The Stage came out, even more with LIBAD. I think they were a bit aimless after Jimmy passed and only found their way with Brooks and The Stage, but I'm really glad they did.
How do you rank the Avenged Sevenfold albums? Let me know down in the comments 👇

Yeah and that was a short phase too. Definitely a pretty consistent discography overall

Cool ranking! I'm interested to see how the newer albums hold up for me over time as they are still pretty fresh to me
Maybe we can get a reaction to the Delux addition to The Stage next? The cover of The Beach Boys song God Only Knows is amazing
my favorite albums are nightmare and waking the fallen, they are both basically equal for me
They come across as proggy at times because one of their biggest influences were Iron Maiden. Up The Irons!!!
Why didnt you upload the last LIBAD reaction videos?

Yes I'm glad they are out of that "rut" that was HTTK
