A7X’s first album (without synyster gates) is a hardcore metal cult classic
released in 2001 on goodlife, then on hopeless records
1. To End The Rapture- A 1 minute intro,shows off M.Shadows’ singing. great solo 5/5
2. Turn The Other Way-Excellent intro, starts off great. fluid screaming I love this song.. great way to really start the album 5/5
3. Darkness Surrounding- once again, great, yet suprising intro (just listen to it) very melodic, yet chaotic 5/5
4. The Art Of Subconcious Illusion- People go nuts for this song, to me, it is sub-par, yeah it is creepy, but its not that great, but it is still a good song 3/5
5.We Come Out At Night- One of my favorite songs on this album, drum intro is mind-blowing, the melodic parts catch you off guard. the soulful piano outro is Excellent, i could listen to this song again and again 5/5
6. Lips Of Deceit- EPIC intro,it is amazing this song blows away some of the songs later on in the album, this song is great! 5/5 (FACTOID: Lips Of Deceit was one of the suggested names for the band)
7.Warmness On The Soul-this is the soft song on the album. starts out slow,its ok..the guitar solo was good and the rest of the song was overall good…4/5
8.An Epic Of Time Wasted-My favorite song on the album,everything is great, the screams, the rhythm, just everything. 5/5
9. Breaking Their Hold- CRAZY nuff said 4.5/5
10.Forgotten Faces-This song is everywhere, its punk, its screamo, its extreme, very orgasmic 5/5
11. Thick And Thin- Obviously about family, builds up over time and gets better and better, chaotic at times, i love it 5/5
12. Streets- M. Shadows was originally in a punk band, and this was one of their songs. very nostalgic this song just has a charm to it
13. Shattered By Broken Dreams- Acoustic,7 minutes long, written for a friend (see history blog) about the 3 to four minute mark it gets heava and it gets better, my second favorite song on this album, excellence 5/5
