It was good for the first 25 seconds, then it went downhill from there. Haven't finished listening to Hail to the King, nor do I intend to, but I remembered hearing (or at least parts of it) "Crimson Day", a song that's better than any of the singles off the album (maybe save the title track). Doc Indie Party Rock will probably like it since it's pretty 'melodic'.

I'm glad "This Means War" is out. I like the instrumentation, but otherwise the song is really underwhelming and boring. I always end up having to change it on the radio before the song's over.
Avenged Sevenfold is a mixed bag for me. When they're good, I absolutely LOVE them. Then you get songs like this that are really 'meh' to me.

The higher songs that I'm losing are songs that were first listens that I liked enough to put high.
I'm not really shedding tears over "Darker Side of the Moon", "What If I Was Nothing", or "Soul To Preach To", but I thought they were solid first listens.

It was good for the first 25 seconds, then it went downhill from there. This rankdown was good for the first 25 updates, and now it's gone downhill.

"False Alarm" would have been Top 30 for me if there was more than one lyric in the verses... and if the two verses weren't that same one line

Then you get songs like this that are really 'meh' . God Damn. That's definitely one of them... as is the other song they have in this rankdown. "Buried Alive," "Bat Country," and "Nightmare" are my 3 favorites from them, that I can recall off the top of my head. Those are incredible. I'm a huge fan of M. Shadows's vocals on those, but then it does nothing for me on songs I don't care for. Actually, I can find it a bit grating then.

"Almost Easy" and "Afterlife" were the only A7X singles I like. "So Far Away" too, but admittedly that's a different pace for them.

It'd be interesting to see how "Back from the Dead" does in the 2017 rankdown. It'd probably have a high standard deviation as I know of people here who hate the song, as well as people here who love the song.

Avenged Sevenfold are so hit or miss for me. I really like "Bat Country" and "Hail To The King", but nearly everything else I find to be lukewarm/acceptable or just boring. Going to see them open up for Metallica in a month though, so maybe they can change my mind then.

rainie it seems as if there's been many reveals where we have both lost very high ranked songs. lol rip us. Anyway, the chorus of "False Alarm" gets me. I think it's incredible. The verse is amazing too imo, but I understand where it's probably not very memorable. Not surprised to see this out earlier sadly. Agreed, that's the reason it's so high up for me despite the fact that the verses are basically tacked on. With better verses this could have been my #1, I'm serious. Anyways this and STPT being out at this point annoy me but I'm not shocked or anything. Not too happy about Rise either, but the rest of the songs I couldn't care less about.

"Back from the Dead" is nothing great, but it sounds like a masterpiece compared to this.
I thought the whole Rise album blew.

I wanted to like this more than I did, but the vocals were really dampening the song for me.

Also, lol at their label trying to get them to chart on alt and not active with little results. May be because their on an independent label since their sound pretty much fits alt. (all 3 singles from their latest album failed to go top 50)

I guess you started this at 6:00pm my time?
i'll comment on current song and go back to others later. Honesty; with all these great songs dropping off so early; I can only imagine what's in the top 50.
67. All Who Remain - Beware of Darkness Great song. I want this one played at my funeral.

68. Rise- Skillettis alright. I like "Not Gonna Die" miles more than this one. 69. This Means War - Avenged SevenfoldThis should have been at least Top 40. 70.. f**ked Up World - The Pretty RecklessI hate everyone here. I knew I would rank this the highest. "f**ked Up Rankdown" more like it. 71. Darker Side of the Moon - OtherwisePretty good. Better than where it ended up here. 72. False Alarm - Smile Empty SoulUgly song. At least another of my bottom ten is out. 73. Soul to Preach To - FuelNot nearly as great as 2000's Fuel material, but at least they attempted a comeback. 74. What If I Was Nothing - All That RemainsA great powerballad. I'm glad I ranked it Top 10.. Otherwise it would have been lower

Surprised AWR got out this early, thought it was very well liked amongst rock posters. It's a good example of a song I respect more then I enjoy, though I do like it.
