Not their best work but still an incredible album by Avenged Sevenfold. The Rev sure does know how to make a good guitar solo!
For an album with 7 songs, the length of Birthing is ridiculous to say the least. PinkPantheress' 'Fancy That' has 2 more songs and is over 90 minutes shorter. An average of 16 minutes per song is bizarre.
The sound is very different to the old Swans music and while many people see it as masterful and innovative, I simply just don't agree. Whether I'm stuck in nostalgia or just don't like it, it hasn't stuck with me.
Anthony James' production on this album goes so under the radar. This album wouldn't be what it is without him. I think the thing that proves this is Senju's verse on NOBODY because Senju is such an underrated rapper but the production on Blackman Wunderlan isn't amazing and he sounds amazing on NOBODY.
Michel's rapping is something to watch because I'm sure this is not going to be the last time he tops the AOTY list. A star in the making right here.
