Avenged Sevenfold "the stage"

Spotify listen:

seventh album from the band and my first....
no screamers, no growlers or even scrowlers to be heard...
straight up heavy metal here...
heard bits of Iron Maiden in some of the solos....
apparently its a concept album about artificial intelligence and
the destruction of society as we know it, I didn't get that, but Wiki told me so....
first couple of tracks sounded okay to me then it all appeared to sound much of
the same for the remaining hour...
still, at least it was metal in the old fashioned sense of the word.
