POLL: WILL THE NEW AVENGED SEVENFOLD RECORD BE ANY GOOD?

MTV.com reports that Avenged Sevenfold have set an October release date for the follow-up to City of Evil, which has sold 810,000 copies since its release in 2005. The band produced the album themselves, a first for them. Says singer M. Shadows:

It was a very conscious decision on our part to make the most down-to-the-bone Avenged Sevenfold album we could,” the frontman said. “There’s no glitz or glamour — just a heavy-hitting record that encompasses all of Avenged Sevenfold. It’s a record that new fans and old fans will love. It’s easily our best-sounding record. We spent so much time on textures and different vibes, and we’d try everything in the studio. Whatever worked worked, and whatever didn’t, we’d throw out. We’ve had four months in the studio where we’ve just been experimenting and making this sh– hit heavy.

What do you Avenged Sevenfold fans (or haters) think?
