Hit: 4 Stars
Being that I don't really care for screamed vocals I was a bit skeptical to like this album. I tossed it off as "bad start for a great band" for a while. However upon further listen I finally grasped the true and raw beauty of STST. The screamed vocals isn't what grabbed me. It was the great instrumental work. The Rev was and always be one of the greatest drummers of all time so its no surprise he shines on this CD. But everyone else sounds great as well. However I don't believe M. Shadows reached his true potential vocally. The thing that makes the songs appealing is not only the instrumental genius previously mentioned the Shadows ability to go from a hardcore guttural scream to a melodic clean vocal.
I would have done a track by track review but for this one I can't as it wouldn't do this record justice. This is a very heavy album and I don't expect anyone who prefers clean vocals to care all that much for A7x's debut. If you like anything metal this is a must buy. New fans of A7x might not like this but if your hardcore fan of A7x then you'll find some place for this album in your library of music.
Free Music Review: Is Metal a bad word nowadays?
Hit: 4 Stars
I don't understand all the people calling A7X hardcore, punk and/or emo. Aside from occasional tinges of the former which crop up, this album is metal, plain and simple. Ironic how bands like Korn and Linkin Park get to usurp and collectively soil the banner of metal, yet when a band comes along that deserves the title, no one gives it!
True enough that there are a few punk-ish passages to be heard on this album, and the singer's vocals hover somewhere between a black metal rasp and hardcore yelling; but the total package comes off sounding much more like something out of Gothenburg Sweden than something from the states.
At any rate, whatever people insist upon calling them, A7X is a blissful breath of fresh air into the local erm... "heavy rock" secene. Hopefully more bands will follow their example and put down the DJs, learn how to write a guitar melody, and discover how to carry a tune.

These guys have some real talent. They write some of the most diverse songs I've ever heard. One second it sounds like they're playing a punk song, and the next some awesomely-heavy metal riff starts up behind swat vocals and crazy drumming. Stylistic transitions in the songs are seemless and it doesn't sound lame when the band gets heavy and the singer starts screaming. The elements of punk, hardcore, metal, and some 90's type vocals are all evident in their music. There are some punk moments that go to good hardcore riffs that move to devastating metal riffs which remind me of Megadeath, Iron Maiden, and Justice/Master era Metallica. This album is Metalcore, with some sloppiness and not-togetherness typical of the genre. Really only slightly above average. I'd give it three and half stars if I could.
