Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 68.2/100, a mean average of 67.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.3.

Always good when a band in the 2000's does a metal album without trying to reinvent the wheel. Just straight forward metal. With this they've done alright. There are some absolute cracker tracks on this showing they can write a decent song. However, there is a fair amount of filler as well. Not one that sits with the behemoths of the metal world, but above average.
Solid heavy metal, nothing spectacular or groundbreaking, it could be shorter. The fact that it targets a wide audience and can be appreciated by non-metal fans has led to severe criticism, but that is pretty much the case for most if not all of the mainstream metal bands in the 2000's. Overall, 60/100.
I can understand any point of criticism against this band, but every note and lyric kick so much ass, I can´t not like them. A7X has one of the most epic sounds of any band I heard, which has been perfected on this album. Beast and The Harlot is just epic, just simply epic.
Awesome album. Very creative. I don't understand how this album and modern metal in general aren't higher on this list. This a really well realized album who excel at what is it.
Why so much hate to this band ??, and especially THIS ALBUM!! Allright I don't Like the look of them, but the music what them make is Classical Heavy Metal, is Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc... with a modern sound, M. Shadows is a excellent singer, The Rev is a Beast (R.I.P.) and solos and the Smashing Riffs of Johnny Christ, Synyster Gates are powerful (Especially the final acoustic solo guitar in Sidewinder, BRUTAL!!)
Is one of the best Heavy Metal albums than I've ever Heard. My Expectatives of this was negative, but, if you are looking for modern bands with a style of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and other classical bands, listen to City of Evil with a positive personality.
Thanks to Guitar Hero for introducing me to them
I would have rated this album higher if the second half was as good as the first. Avenged Sevenfold are the best metal band I heard that came in the last 10 years. They continue the evolution of metal music. They brought something that is new, fresh, and unique. They have a lot of energy, amazing technique and their song-writing is excellent. But the thing that makes them a great band above all, is their ability to express themselves through their over-the-top music.
Love this album. these guys rock out so hard
It's Iron Maiden meets Guns 'n Roses meets Skid Row, Motley Crue and Metallica.
This is A7X's breakthrough album, and with good reason. The juxtaposition of each track is such that the whole album fits together in a very deliberate way.
Once heard, songs like 'Beast and the Harlot,' 'Trashed and Scattered,' 'Bat Country' and 'Burn it Down' are hard to leave behind. A great 'guitarist's album' there is much to admire in the sweeping fretwork of Vengeance and Gates, and the way the harmonies mesh together and drive the melody of each track tastefully forward.
The most underrated track on the album is probably 'The Wicked End,' which evokes a dark, apocolyptic biblical saga
of sin with a truly epic Danny Elfman-style orchestral breakdown midway through.
Shadows' multi-tracked vocals can make some songs somewhat frustrating to sing along to- he tends to sing over himself with some parts overlapping- but the '80s-style hair metal bravado sets the tone perfectly with Shadows' unmistakable nasal twang letting anybody familiar with the band know instantly that this is definately Avenged Sevenfold.
The late 'Rev' commands the sticks with superhuman flair and class, with some truly mind-melting drum flurries and double bass pedal domination.
All the hallmarks of an exuberant, cocksure and talented young band are woven into every second of this album, and back in 2005 caught the music industry's attention in a huge way. 'City of Evil' remains on many 'best albums of the 2000s' lists today.
Sadly no comments!? First: Two guitar players who harmonize perfectly. No matter what you have to say about the vocals on this record. The songs are well written. Seize the day motherfuckers! This album reminds me of apetite for destruction in so many ways.
