The Stage Review
March 23, 2021
My most played album #220. Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage. 2016 This baby only had 3 years for most plays, most albums had 20 years. Rising fast on my most played list. Amazing musicianship! Great songs! A conceptual album, with its main theme being based on artificial intelligence and self-destruction of society. #4 US Billboard 200 #1 US Top Alternative Albums (Billboard)
