Overview
Probably my favourite AFI album of them all. It offers great vocals, though many can find Davey to be annoying but personally I love it. Instrumentally, it's nothing special but nothing to dislike about it. It's not like the average 'punk' album, offering much more than the usual fast drum beat and simple guitar riffs. The sound ranges throughout the album and progresses into a perfect ending with God Called In Sick Today, a slow 'ballad'.
What I Liked?
I liked a lot on this album, but the lyrics are great... I love them as well as the singing and just how the entire sound falls together perfectly. It's nothing special like I said before, but it all fits wonderfully.
What I didn't Like?
The drumming seems to have nearly the same beat throughout the entire album which can get a bit annoying but I don't concentrate too much on the drumming.
Favourite Songs
Malleus Maleficarum, The Last Kiss and God Called In Sick Today
Rating
4 - 4.5/5 - I loved it, personally and any true AFI should love this album.
