Jul 17, 2023It may seem as an experimental project at first but the more you listen to the album the more you see the harmony of former A7X sounds, all in one album. Definitely worth listen.

Aug 1, 2023this is not A7X.
Just an experimental mess that doesnt sound nowhere near Avenged Sevenfold.
No feeling or whatsoever in these songs.
Really wonder what they did all these years. -

Jul 8, 2023This albuns features a lot of improvement of the band Lirycally and in melody as something very proggresive but pleasent to listen. Not all sounds are uniform and some features some weird choices but still, I see the band reinventing theirselves since the lost of Jimmy. I like it a lot

Jun 25, 2023A beautifully devastating and heart wrecking work of musical art. Life, death, what it is to be, the realization of the self and what to do with the absurd nonsense we call “the gift of life”, a gift no one asked for, but a gift non the less. Life is meaningless and that’s what makes it beautiful, like a dream…

Aug 1, 2023People actually like this album? Now THAT is fascinating. Listened to the entire thing and it felt like they missed the mark at every corner. I hope I'm wrong and it's just me, but this album has to be the worst they've ever done.. and they did NFT's!
-
Aug 3, 2023The album is fresh, full of new and intersting ideas from the band. "Nobody" and "Cosmic" are one of the best songs the band has ever made.
-
Aug 10, 2023The absurd and bizarre should be embraced, especially when employed with absolutely finesse as did A7X. This is a metal band breaking conventions and leaving sameness behind like few are able to do.

Aug 18, 2023I still don't fully understand why people hate this album. Most of the complaints I've heard boil down to "oh, this just doesn't sound like Avenged Sevenfold" even though those are the same people who complain when bands do the same **** over and over. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that this album was the product of the band doing mushrooms, though. Bands should do that more often.

Jun 22, 2023In short, whatever your thoughts are on the band, leave your preconceived notions at the door and give it a try, Life is But a Dream… is set to be one of the best albums of 2023.

Jun 22, 2023Avenged Sevenfold go further down the rabbit hole with an innovative set of progressive metal epics rooted in existential crisis.

Jun 22, 2023With Life Is But A Dream… Avenged Sevenfold haven’t just transcended their metal peers for good, they’ve also created their definitive artistic statement. And it’s bloody fantastic. [Jul 2023, p.80]
