How can we even put this CD into the Heavy Metal category?

With this album, A7X really did fall into pop-rock music, well, that's my opinion

-The Dude 2

Its actually punk metal (but not metalcore).

Sorry, that just sounded flat out dumb to me. If this isn't Metal, neither is Megadeth. And Megadeth is obviously Metal.

It also classifies stuff like Iron Maiden not metal.

by the way, who cares about a indonesian review of the album? nobody can understand that. furthermore the user who added the link does nothing else. probably its just advertisement for this site.

ok avenge may b pop as u might say, but never forget wat happend to matt, for christ sakes its a miracle he can even sing. i think that this album can do with more screaming but this is what they hjave ad i think its pretty goddam well done, always understanding what happend to shadows. _death metal Scream

matt can still scream he says he can still scream, his burst blood vessel was no big deal and he said it was a common surgery

The intro to Falconer's "The Coronation" and Avenged Sevenfolds "Trashed and Scattered", while somewhat similar, are far from "the same." Removing this line. Clipple 21:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is not Heavy Metal

It is not! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.9.104.126 (talk) 18:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Dude! They kept my input (well, they cleaned it up a bit, which was good). I'm glad someone finally looked into this. Someone should probably clean up what I wrote 3+ months ago at the beginning of the article, it's a bit sloppy, I'll see what I can do myself. Xanofar (talk) 05:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heavy Metal and Hard Rock are only important influences

I don't really know why people put always this album into the hard rock / heavy metal genres. It's obvious that influences of this genres are very big, but nobody seems to realize that these genres are not shown "purely" in this album, and that there are a lot of examples to don't categorize it as heavy metal of hard rock (AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath...). And hardcore influences are also pretty important as part of their past discography.

I think that a good categorization for this album would be something like "metal-influenced post-hardcore", as you know that post-hardcore don't necessarily use screams and there are a lot of post-hardcore bands whose progressive components on their music are very variable, like in the case of Avenged Sevenfold. Summarizing, I think putting "Post-Hardcore / Heavy Metal" as genres would define better this album. Eignatus (talk) 13:51, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

In addition, I think this page shoud be protected and only edited by moderators after the majority speak here. People only edit and write stupid (or not) things and no one agrees with each other (someone wrote that A7X were screamo, WTF). Eignatus (talk) 23:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
