The long-gestating follow-up to 2016's ambitious concept album, Stage, Life Is But a Dream… sees Avenged Sevenfold go further down the rabbit hole with an innovative set of progressive metal epics rooted in existential crisis. Inspired by the band's dalliances with hallucinogenics and the writings of French philosopher Albert Camus, the LP covers a wide swath of sonic terra firma, from punishing thrash and hardcore to operatic, Pink Floyd-esque space rock peppered with Daft Punk-inspired vocoders and lush orchestral flourishes.
