What Billy said.
All of their albums got better and better until December Underground.

Then they got all gay on us.

yeah!

they peaked after sing the sorrow. i was so excited when december underground got released. i went to best buy bought a copy, put it in the car. then i gave it to my cousin. just because i got the booklet with jade puget. hopefully the next album would be better.

and, uh:

File 13 is so awesome. It's a great singing + driving + endangering other drivers song.

All their albums are good for what they are, it just that Sing The Sorrow and December Underground are a different genre. ****, even that Cex Cells was decent for what it was.

lol sing the sorrow is my favorite AFI/ one of my all time favorites.
but the art of drowning and black sails and all hallows EP are pretty tight too/
I don;t like that much of their early stuff, i bought answer that and stay fashionable a long time ago, the lyrics and everything just seemed soooo dumb! some of its okay though, shut your mouth and open your eyes had a few tracks i was digging on back in the day.

sing the sorrow was just so artistic and creative though, i love it!

Black Sails, All hallows and STS are my favorites; but I like all their albums (yes, even DecemberUnderground). TotalInmortal and Sacrifice Theory are NICER IONIZER.

Heartbreak incarnate.
I'm nothing if not your memories.
Your beartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain.

Someday I will be, I'll be those common words spoken uniquely.
Because I may, will forever be, floating as you feel.

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow,
Letters of past all tear-stained and wrinkled.
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow,
Letters of past all tear-stained and wrinkled.

(Just say) Say you will for me (For me)
Invite me to your memory.
(Just sing) Sing again for me (For me)
That long forgotten song.

Heartbreak incarnate.
I'm nothing if not your memories.
Your heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain.

Someday I will be, I'll be that waking warmth from a fading dream.
Because I will, I may at best, float as you feel.

it seems like a rehashing of december underground.

i say the way they dress reflects the type of music they make:

Answer That and Stay Fashionable is still their best record.

This, most definitely.

While some other their other releases maybe had more depth [Black Sails in the Sunset, Art of Drowning], Answer That and Stay Fashionable was just a solid, catchy, awesome album.

Ugh, it's so hard to choose. I like Veronica Sawyer Smokes because it's so anthemic and the chorus is just amazing. Then again, the guitar lead in Torch Song is orgasmic.

yeah ive tried to decide and i cant. i love at least SOMETHING about every track.

Too Shy to Scream is oh so much fun.
OK, I Feel Better Now is oh so epic
Beautiful Thieves and End Transmission are beautiful bassy rock tracks.

The AFI retrospective was the first taste I had into older AFI music. It had samples from all their older releases, as well as vinyl only releases. Without it I probably wouldn't have listened to Black Sails or Art Of Drowning.

Also Rolling Balls is one of their most bad *** songs ever.

i just checked out the review of AFI's first show on the Crash Love tour

it seems like AFI is at their best in terms of stage presence and execution (whether it be vocal or instrumental). Hunter is providing awesome vocal harmonies and around mid-set they have a cool interlude section where Adam steps out from behind the skins to use a hand-shaker for 'On the Arrow'. Definitely not groundbreaking but they've never done that before.

The disappointing part: the setlist. =( WAY TOO MANY SINGLES.
