"Almost Easy" was the lead single from Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled fourth album in 2007, and it sits second on the record, right after "Critical Acclaim". Drummer The Rev wrote it, and the band first tried it out on a crowd in Virginia during their 2007 Warped Tour dates.
It's heavy metal with one eye on the radio: Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance lock into riffs that gallop and chug, Johnny Christ and The Rev pound away underneath, Greg Kusten's piano slips in around the edges, and M. Shadows bellows a chorus built for arenas. The band produced it themselves and Andy Wallace mixed it with plenty of punch. The RIAA certified it Platinum, and it later turned up on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack and in Guitar Hero III and Rock Band 2.
