The CD case was cracked upon arrival. Whether it was mailed like that or if it happened during shipping, not sure. Although the packing material was very slim. The CD played well and the shipping time was appropriate.

I started listening to Avenged Sevenfold when most others did, after the release of their popular sophomore album, Waking the Fallen. Well I was curious about this release and after picking it up I found it to be much better than Waking the Fallen. Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is produced in a different way than anything they have done after this (City of Evil, Waking the Fallen) which gives it a raw feeling and sort of an underground one as well. M. Shadows's vocal work on this disk is harsh and reminiscent of the Casualties. This is complimented by the hardcore punk sound made by the bands dual guitar work. The drumming is the showcase of any of the instruments, the loud thud of the double bass drums echoed by the trash-like sound of the snare and dynamic cymbals. It's no wonder why the band went on to do great things, especially with a solid foundation like this. The soungs range from fast paced angry hardcore punk like to a touching piano ballad called "Warmness on the Soul". This purchase is definetly worth the money for any fan of the band or even a fan of hard music in general.Read full review
Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of A7X and I am in my late 30s. I have not been into a band like this since I was into Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Pantera - among others. It is definately a high energy album, but the singing style just doesn't do it for me! I hate to sound like my parents did, but it's a little too much "screaming" for me. Still, it's A7X, it's how they started out, and it's a "must have" for any die hard fan.
This is Avenged Sevenfold's first album. It's a great album and has many good songs to offer. If your a fan of Avenged since the beginning or not you'll like this album. It has much to offer from beginning to end. Their style has changed from their first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, to their newest album, self titled, Avenged Sevenfold. In the beginning there was more screaming and on their later albums it's more singing and screaming as well. Either way, no matter what, this album is 100% phenomenal! If you like Avenged Sevenfold at all you'll appreciate this album. Get it!
Avenged is a band to be looked up to by all. How can you hold there genesis albums to the same standards as their "prime time" album. Theres nothing punk about this band. The very "twangy" and sharp lead guitars flow perfectly with the beefy rythym lines. Absolutely amazing the way these guys compose. Not yourr average musician. In this album its a little harsher than their more obvious vocal led recent albums. I had to buy this album because it would not be right to call myself a fan until I heard all their music, but as always I was left impressed.
