It's my favorite album, only because it's so underrated. So many time people say "these songs are amazing and they sound like a7x but I've never heard them" hearing that makes my day every time
I think they are so low because they were added late to spotify without a marketing push. They were just there one day like two years ago. If they were on there from the start I'm sure it would be much higher
@@Voltage.Bone.R and it is such a fucking song because it is just M O O D. We all feel that shit. Another one that is like that Is Living is Killing Us by Architects. It's fucking words to live buy
@@SaintXero I think it has more to do with it being "not really" an album. Like it's not their original songs. I'd say it's pretty damn high for mostly covering other bands.
Some of that might be because they havent had diamonds in the rough on spotify as long as everything else (minus LIBAD). Its only been on there since 2020
I can and also can't believe that The Wicked End is the most "least" played City of Evil song, definitely one of my favorites. Just goes to say how good that album really is
Everyone points to "Little Piece of Heaven" as "A7X trying Danny Elfman", but honestly that song did it way before. Awesome song, solo's one of my favs off of CoE
@@textoffender3410 I just left a comment here about all those elitist dudes who don't understand that people can figure out what is good music to them by themselves lmao
To me, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is extremely underrated. I just love hearing the version of bands before they explode in popularity. Especially the version of the album before Synyster Gates joined the band and Zacky Vengeance did all of the guitar writing and performances. And The Rev's drum solo in "Darkness Surrounding" is unreal!
@@Grim_Nerd huh that’s an interesting take. I personally love the sound of his screams on STST. I think they fit the thrashy sound of the album perfectly.
Exist, Sidewinder, Fiction, Save Me, and Nobody are maybe my top 5 favs they’ve made rn…..but a little piece of heaven beast and the Harlot and some others also make it hard to decide
Something no one mentions is Spotify didn’t come out until 2008. A lot of the “lower” ranked songs are much older predating streaming. I’d say Bat Country and Afterlife are prob more popular.
@@catturd2 not on Spotify though. Most people owned CD’s or had an MP3/IPod up until roughly 2010….the older albums numbers would be very high if Spotify started in the 80’s or something and collected data on plays way back then
@@edschobs5204 Bat Country would probably have over 600 million listens if Spotify were the main streaming service in 2006. It literally won during the MTV awards. For example, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield was by far the most popular song of the mid 2000's. You couldn't enter a mall without hearing it. Nowadays, it only has 500m listens, but back then, it was as massive as the greatest hits today.
@@bobafett109 I agree, but even if you don’t like their new music as much, it’s impossible to deny they’ve grown substantially as artists. STST and WTF are my favorites though!
until the end, radiant eclipse, planets, exist, simulation, tonight the world dies, forgotten faces and many more songs are really underrated songs thanks for the video it's a great video. 🔥🔥
10. Strength of the World 9. Almost Easy 8. Blinded In Chains 7. I Won't See You Tonight, Part 1 6. Seize the Day 5. Buried Alive 4. Hail to the King 3. Unholy Confessions 2. Save Me 1. Afterlife
I think "Diamonds in the rough" is underated because many fans didn't know it even existed, and I don't blame them back in the days many people could mistake it just as a Live Concert and not an actual album. I met a couple of fans that didn’t know about it until they released the album again back in 2020. They thought it was a completely new album and they were in shock when they found out it was from 2008 😅
i ain’t gonna lie bro this is fire but i hate how all of the fire songs in city of evil like sidewinder, betrayed, and the wicked end were so low and same with the waking the fallen album
people gave one or two listens just to give up and trash on it. honestly i think The Stage was one of the best album they made to date. I fell in love with it right away when it first released, and so does Nobody. people should really give it a chance
@@kanomee yea, the stage is my second favourite A7X album, right behind Nightmare. And Nobody is a pretty good song as well. Cant wait for the new record
@@kanomee i hated the stage album for years, but in like 2021-2022 I gave it a second chance and realized it was much more intricate and entertaining than i gave it credit for. Exist is one of my all time favorites now. Nowhere near my favorite A7X song, but on the list
Crazy that the song that made me stop being a7x obsessed (hail to the king) is number one in this list. I guess its obvious with how radio friendly it is, but when before then bat country was their top song that everybody knew
…..yeah, hail to the king really is a fucking banger. I can put that one on no matter WHAT I’m in the mood for, it’ll always satisfy. It’s the perfect A7x song, even if my favourite is nightmare.
At first it was really hard for me to start to like STST, i even gave it a chance multiple times but just couldnt seem to get it to grow on me. Recently i tried again and suprisingly its grown on me more than i thought. I dunno what happened but i found myself listening to the album quite a lot. I understand why people typically dont like it but man do i still feel bad for it even if it was their first album and all. Id prolly go as far to say its quite underrated, especially lups of deceit and warmness on the soul
I'm shocked that "Dear God" made it so far up the list. Don't get me wrong, I love the goofy novelty of that song and blast it every time I hear it but the amazing acoustic solo at the end of "Sidewinder" really makes that track stand out. I'd love for them to play it live these days but I doubt that will ever happen.
I love that alot of my personal favs are deep cuts, especially from STST. I think the entire beginning of that album is some of a7x’s best work that really let us hear their raw and true emotion
I love how most of the songs from HTTK are in the top of the list. That means people who listen to A7x are different from people who criticize them on the internet. It just shows that how successful HTTK is.❤
When I started watching this I was kind of upset, cause so many amazing songs are apparently some of the least popular. Cool to see fans in the comments agreeing that so much of their discography is underrated and excellent!
Instead of picking one song and claiming that it’s underrated I’m gonna go ahead and say that a lot of, if not most of their songs are underrated, especially the sounding the seventh trumpet and diamonds in the rough songs but I also have to say that the song that surprised me the most with how little streams it has is strength of the world, it’s amazing
@@mario50000 Some just aren’t talked about as much, some just aren’t popular. It does make sense, stop trying to look for a fight using flawed logic and reasoning
Wow, some really big surprises on this list. Too many to go through all of them, but at the end I would've never guessed that Bat Country wouldn't make top 3 (albeit barely), and Hail to the King would be 1st, let alone by such a massive margin over everything else.
A7X!! 🦇💀🤘 Tbh, I feel like you should've uploaded this after their newest album gets released (June 2), but it's fine anyway. Also, can you make a video for Opeth sometime? I know it's lowly demanded here on this channel, but they're my favorite band atm and they can mix several genres together. Sorry if it was a little long, but I really enjoyed this video and I'm amazed by how these songs get a consistent amount of listens!!!
it wouldn't be a fair comparison anyway since every other song has been out for so many years and has had the chance to get millions upon millions of plays. that's probably the reason nobody is so far down the list
As per request, here's the Spotify playlist with every single A7X song available on Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/6P3TKdPH07z4Z2yrGgiy1o
Make sure to update it with the new album 👍
How do you get these stats? I have no idea how to access them, I wanna see them for all my favourite artists
you can see each song's streams on the Spotify app on PC
@@imakevideosonyoutube but it shows only top-10 songs with numbers of streams. How to get atlest top-100 list?
Until the end is so underrated. Such a beautiful song.
shit sounding the seventh trumpet definitely doesn't get enough love. i hated it at first it was too much for me but now im like addicted to it
I also loved lost it all
I agree. All the songs from Diamonds in the Rough are underrated for me. I don't know why people don't talk much about this album.
All songs between 100 and 50 are practically underrated.
@@wishdankpods I couldn't agree more. STST is my favorite album aside from WTF.
Sidewinder and M.I.A are such criminally underrated songs
M.I.A. is their best song imo
facts
Damn i love these song
bruh what about LOST IT ALL and GIRL I KNOW and AND ALL THINGS WILL END
Sidewinder is goated
All of the Diamonds in the rough songs are so under-rated, The fight, Dancing dead and girl i know are some of my favourites.
It's my favorite album, only because it's so underrated. So many time people say "these songs are amazing and they sound like a7x but I've never heard them" hearing that makes my day every time

@AustinKU123 Yea, that's fair, just wish they were higher up and more people knew about those songs.
@@AustinKU123I don't think so. This album has always been criminally underrated and I don't know why. It is such a great album.
I remember listening to M Shadows say that girl i know was his most hated song
The fact that nobody is already 80 on this list is crazy!
An amazing song after a few listens!
Not a fan at all, but we love you personally i like
Probably because it's new
The fact it was #80 _three weeks ago when this video was uploaded_ is even more crazy
It's mostly a hype spike, the consensus on the song by most fans shows that not as many will be returning to it
The fact that so many Diamonds in the Rough are so low on the list are criminal. That album is killer
so many of my favs are there. tension is actually what first got me obsessed with the band
@@Voltage.Bone.R and it is such a fucking song because it is just M O O D. We all feel that shit. Another one that is like that Is Living is Killing Us by Architects. It's fucking words to live buy
maybe cause those song were put on Spotify only 3 yrs ago

Simulation, clairvoyant disease, and fermi paradox are all so incredibly underrated
Boy oh boy, this list was full of surprises.
I can and also can't believe that The Wicked End is the most "least" played City of Evil song, definitely one of my favorites. Just goes to say how good that album really is
The Wicked End has such a wild solo too that I feel not enough people recognize. One of my favorites.
@@tsukuyomi-r Agreed. The chorus is also amazing. Wild, catchy and very powerful
Its my favourite A7X song, I bet a large chunk of those plays are me!
Literally that song just started to grow on me. I’m a waking the fallen , stst guy always have been
Everyone points to "Little Piece of Heaven" as "A7X trying Danny Elfman", but honestly that song did it way before. Awesome song, solo's one of my favs off of CoE
forgotten faces being 2nd last is CRIMINAL. such a great song
So true
The fact that Hail to the King has almost twice the amount of plays as Nightmare.
Rightfully so
@@Halledoo not rlly
@@Halledoo Nuh uh
@@Halledoo hail to the king is an uninteresting and boring song by a7x standards, as is most of its album

Sound of the Seventh trumpet is criminally underrated

Especially the version of the album before Synyster Gates joined the band and Zacky Vengeance did all of the guitar writing and performances. And The Rev's drum solo in "Darkness Surrounding" is unreal!
The only thing that ever REALLY put my off that album were M. Shadows' harsh vocals. They sound fucking gaaaaaarbage imo 😂
@@Grim_Nerd huh that’s an interesting take. I personally love the sound of his screams on STST. I think they fit the thrashy sound of the album perfectly.
most people who listen to A7X don't even realize when a drum solo is taking place buddy...
Agree with you. For me it is one of their best albums.
I think SofST showed their potential, but Waking the Fallen was a far more refined and realized sound of what they were going for.
Clairvoyant Disease is such a masterpiece
The transition from sounding the seventh trumpeted to the cover of God only knows is hilarious 😂
I Won't See You Tonight hits so fucking hard
Anything on waking the fallen is goated tbh
Very surprised Welcome to the Family is 6th, they gotta start playing it live again. Such a banger
Fermi paradox being that low down is absolutely criminal
Tonight the world dies is super underrated. And desecrate through reverence.
Exist, Sidewinder, Fiction, Save Me, and Nobody are maybe my top 5 favs they’ve made rn…..but a little piece of heaven beast and the Harlot and some others also make it hard to decide
Wow, how is Exist so far down?
Absolute masterpiece
one of my favorites if not my favorite but i barely listen to it because of the length
A lot of avenged sevenfold fans really hate the more proggy stuff. I expect the new album won't do particularly high numbers.
Because it's 15 minutes long
Short ass attention spans
Too bloated
And All Things Will End has got to be the most under appreciated Avenged Sevenfold song. It’s so good, one of my favorites!
In my opinion it’s there best song they have ever made
Desecrate through reverence with the transition to eternal rest 👌
Something no one mentions is Spotify didn’t come out until 2008. A lot of the “lower” ranked songs are much older predating streaming. I’d say Bat Country and Afterlife are prob more popular.
Not to mention you’ve gotta be a goated band if your least played song on Spotify has over a million listens.
That and the fact Spotify, even though it started in 2008, didn’t get much traction until a few years after that.
but those older albums had a longer time to get plays, while the more recent an album is, the less time it had to increase in numbers

Any real fan knows this
@@kurtleeney7205 This is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
Not a lot of people even know that this song exists)
Dear God, So far away and Until the end brought me to A7x, and those 3 albums will always be my top 3
Not Ready to Die in #21 ? I didn't expected for this.
Probably from call of duty, was the first a7x song I heard back in the day
@@SirFabulouis this lol
its the song that got me interested in Avenged Sevenfold
Sidewinder, victim, dear god, angels, and exist are my favorites.
I love forgotten faces so much
Old A7X was so much better. Breaks my heart to see what happened to them over the years
@@bobafett109 I can't really agree, I love the new stuff too but I understand other people don't

Waited so long for this vid and it’s finally here let’s go
Same here man
The Wicked End is so underrated imo the best on on City Of Evil
one of my favs from the album :p
facts
I agree, the setting, the chorus, the bass and the vocals of M. Shadows in this song make it a piece of art
Lost it all is criminally underrated
0:06 i was kinda shocked that Jade was the least listened to.
Fermi Paradox #71... Easliy the best guitar solo I've ever heard!
totally agree
Such an underrated song
"My sweet medusa, reflect the empty in our beings"
this line never fails to give me chills
until the end, radiant eclipse, planets, exist, simulation, tonight the world dies, forgotten faces and many more songs are really underrated songs thanks for the video it's a great video. 🔥🔥
Crazy how they predicted the name “diamonds in the rough” so well. All those songs are so good
Apparently Matt doesn't like it and wishes they didn't release it. Per his recent interview with Bradley Hall
the least played song off like all their albums is seemingly their best or top 3 for me
Why is alot of city of evil and tonight the world dies so low, that ain't right
And all things will end is probably one of there best song thats crazy
Soooo surprised that sidewinder is so low - that’s the jam!
Surprised at some of the rankings honestly. Loved this!
The Stage album is Amazing! i'm going to keep it on replay to boost those numbers 😂
10. Strength of the World
9. Almost Easy
8. Blinded In Chains
7. I Won't See You Tonight, Part 1
6. Seize the Day
5. Buried Alive
4. Hail to the King

@aracely9176 Understandable, honestly, I realized that album existed because I started buying their CDs, and I came across that one in a store 😂

april fools idea - just put everything at number 1 :p
I couldn’t believe how low betrayed was especially
Glad to see MIA in the top 30’s combination of lyrical genious with Maiden-esque guitar work.
So many brutally underrated songs

I love Mad Hatter and Save Me

Higher might be my favorite song off my favorite album by these guys and it’s at 66
how is chapter 4 and second heartbeat so far down the list?!?! they're like my 2 favorites
Thank you for uploading!
The entire Diamonds in the Rough album is so underrated
i needed this it really cheered me up, thank you
Lost it all is amazing
Save me is their best song
Sounding the seventh trumpet so underrated man
Had to pause this video several times to listen to some of the bangers that I forgot about!
Lost it all is so low!!! That’s one of my favorite songs of all time!

all of those streams of the song “Exist” are all single handed my from me. favorite a7x song by farrrrr
Sounding the seventh trumpet is criminally underrated and waking the fallen is their best album imo
Diamonds in the Rough has some of their greatest ever in my opinion. Until the End. Dancing Dead. Demons. So many more.
OMG Crossroads too
I'm shocked that "Dear God" made it so far up the list. Don't get me wrong, I love the goofy novelty of that song and blast it every time I hear it but the amazing acoustic solo at the end of "Sidewinder" really makes that track stand out.

Such a bummer to see so much of the stage and waking the fallen on the bottom lol my 2 fav avenged albums!
I love that alot of my personal favs are deep cuts, especially from STST. I think the entire beginning of that album is some of a7x’s best work that really let us hear their raw and true emotion
I love how most of the songs from HTTK are in the top of the list. That means people who listen to A7x are different from people who criticize them on the internet.
It just shows that how successful HTTK is.❤
Clairvoyant Disease. That is all
As someone who got into A7X on Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and lost interest after City of Evil, this is rather interesting.

Legitimately gasped when I saw demons so low, goated song ngl
Dancing Dead is their best song
Nooo lost it all is so good imo. I love it sm 😭
It’s a good thing I am still listening to every song on sounding, city, white, and waking but sounding the seventh trumpet is so underrated

Tbh, I feel like you should've uploaded this after their newest album gets released (June 2), but it's fine anyway.
Also, can you make a video for Opeth sometime? I know it's lowly demanded here on this channel, but they're my favorite band atm and they can mix several genres together.
Sorry if it was a little long, but I really enjoyed this video and I'm amazed by how these songs get a consistent amount of listens!!!

Their new album is going to suck ass
it wouldn't be a fair comparison anyway since every other song has been out for so many years and has had the chance to get millions upon millions of plays. that's probably the reason nobody is so far down the list
I love this band
turn the other way is simply their most underrated song
It’s nice knowing how much I listen to A7X and know I play a good portion of those plays. On ALL songs 😁
Some of these are surprising
I Guess I’m into their under rated songs :)
how I feel when making these videos
Proof Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is underrated
Demons so far down wow, such a great song, i guess most diamonds in the rough sounds are not very known
You're right I didn't even know of the album until I saw this video 💀
listen to it bro its full of bangers !!!!!
seriously... I feel like no one ever mentions this song but its awesome
"been dealt some good cards that I'll fold before it's time. Can't promise you that it's my last time"
