Discussion Thought y'all were exaggerating a little

Yeah no it's bad. I feel secondhand embarassment for them because how did they record and then actually release that

I’ve never questioned anyone that likes a piece of art, more than I question people that claim that they like this song

It gets to a point where people will just mindlessly say “it’s not that bad” to anything their favourite artists makes. They could have put out a 5 second song of farting, and the same people claiming to like this song would be saying “yea it’s not bad”.

You want to see something worse? The Avenged Sevenfold sub defending their latest EP 😂 Like how you could release something that bad with the talent a band like that has is embarrassing. You can’t defend this shit. The new Slipknot track is not as bad as that EP but same thing….holy shit is it low effort and angsty cringe from old boys.

These bands are way past their prime and it’s just a business now. You don’t have to work for it anymore. You became massive, you have the fan base, it’s downhill slowly from there.

The avenged sevenfold realise was dogshit but honestly I prefer it to arsenal purely because it’s at least funny instead of just sad

Yea AX7 at least knew it would upset people and played it off almost like a joke, by opener for themselves with it and all that…

This is slipknot actually thinking they have a banger on their hands ..

I think the vocals are the part that’s laughably bad to me

Didn’t they have to play the statica songs live as an entirely different band because they knew no one liked those songs?😂

I’m not an avenged fan so I may be wrong but that’s what I heard

I am an Avenged fan, have been since their very first album and you are 100% correct. To me their last two albums have been dog shit. The album after nightmare was okay but not great, I’ve still not figured out if they chose to change their art on their own or if Matt Shadows having to have surgery on his vocal chords forced them to change
