**💭 Thoughts:** *Nightmare* is Avenged Sevenfold’s first album without their infamous drummer The Rev after unfortunately passing away a year prior, however, the band manages to maintain the same level of consistency they did throughout their previous albums. This is probably one of if not my favorite A7X album. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Nightmare 🔵 2.) Welcome to the Family 🔵🥉 3.) Danger Line 🔵 4.) Buried Alive 🔵 5.) Natural Born Killer 🔵🥇 6.)
