From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Critical Acclaim" is the first single from Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled album. A 2-minute teaser was posted on the band's MySpace to tide fans over until the iTunes release date, but on August 20, 2007, Avenged Sevenfold uploaded the full version on their MySpace.[1] The full song was released on iTunes August 28, 2007.[2]
The song's lyrical meaning is a criticizing attack on the Democratic politicians who are in their turn criticizing the soldiers of the United States of America for engaging in the Iraq War conflict, without trying to find a solution to end the ongoing war. Avenged Sevenfold lead singer M. Shadows has close friends who have experienced military service in Iraq.[3]
The Rev provides the vocals for the chorus of the song, as well as some background vocals and screams.[3]
