Weak, muddy production keeps the solid instrumentation and competent vocal performance from really gripping you. Otherwise for the most part this is just another AFI album, but with softer leanings than before.

I really like AFI's sound, but this album is unambitious, lacks variety, and most of it blurs together.

Most tracks here are pretty solid but Davey?s passionless singing and Jade?s bad production hold this back

It pisses me off that I like this album. How does this work here and not the shitty bunny cover album or the golden heart shaped turd record? Or the black goatse album for that matter?

The Wind That Carries Me Away is far and away the most dominant song they've written since StS. There are some absolutely fucking dreadful tracks that keeps this album from being tolerable. Deleting the first two tracks, So Beneath You, and White Offerings makes this an easy 3.5. They are so unbelievably awful.

the muddy production, generic songwriting and indifferent vocals really hurt the overall quality of the album and further proves afi is one of the most overrated bands out there ever.

I don't get the hate this album gets by some. It sounds like pop/punk/metal hybrid with influences of "The Cure" and "Depeche Mode" which I find quite interesting. I really like the changes the band has gone through, they have a great sound and nice guitar riffs and licks.

I?ve never been a fan of AFI. Their snotty brand of punk was musically decent, but those high pitched vocals were terrible. Eventually the morphed into a gothy post hardcore band, and again, the music wasn?t terrible, but the vocals sounded like an angry chipmunk. On Burials, AFI made another stylistic change, but it was still very much a transitional album ? AFI (The Blood Album) is the results of that transition and it?s the first AFI album I?ve truly enjoyed. The band have fully embraced an alt rock-leaning version of post punk that reminds me of bands such as New Model Army or some of the more rock-oriented The Cure stuff. For the first time, too, I appreciate and even enjoy the vocals. Gone are the angry pitchy vocals of the past, and in their place are a fuller, deeper, more melodic style that fits perfectly. A lot of their longtime fans seem to dislike this album, but it?s definitely a welcome direction, as fas as I am concerned.
