Rejammed this again today and can confirm it's still the greatest album ever recorded. Above The Bridge hit me HARD this time around, can the next AFI album just be full-on Cure worship please? Pretty fucking please?



Also Pink Eyes still hits like a fucking freight-train. Shocker.

^ yeah best modern AFI is, for the most part, when they flat out Cure worship.

This album is still so good. So Beneath You is one of my favorite AFI songs period.

I think these guys could genuinely pull another classic out of their ass if Missing Man is indicative of where they are heading.

Missing Man was a step down from this other than the T/t. Still good though. And yeah, So Beneath You slaps donkey dick.

I'd do something like this to combine them and create the best experience



1 Dark Snow

2 Still a Stranger

3 Break Angels

4 Aurelia

5 Get Hurt

6 So Beneath You

7 Back Into The Sun

8 Dumb Kids

9 Pink Eyes

10 Feed From The Floor

11 She Speaks The Language

12 The Missing Man



This seems super well paced tbh, will report back to see if I'm a genius or not.

Interesting playlist, might jam it some time. Not a huge fan of the brutal cuts though haha, I'd just make it longer personally.

i like the idea of making things more concise, hence the cuts

at the same time i will listen from Torch Song all the way to Breathing Towers To Heaven and have a damn good time

hmm, I recall you didn't like Get Hurt that much along with most other sputnikers. Did you change your mind? I fucking love that song so much.

It hasn't really grown but it was either that, Trash Bat, or Hidden Knives for that spot and Get Hurt seemed the most appropriate to have between the big ending of Aurelia and the punky goodness of So Beneath You



and brooo Breathing Towers is one of the most epic sounding songs they have, easily top 15 AFI

Interesting, I recall most people on here complaining about Get Hurt but I adore that song musically and lyrically. Solo slays. Really great song. I love Breathing Towers but not sure if it's top 15... Rank all AFI b-sides some time, that would be an interesting thread =)

Get Hurt is a really good song. Davey really doesn’t want you to see him sleeping tho

I'm also weirdly self-conscious about sleeping in front of other people.

AFI has unfortunately done less and less for me post Crash Love. I really should try again with Blood album, but as of yet it is my least favorite release for them from Black Sails and on. The album just had no highlights for me and was fine all the way through which is not how I want my AFI to be. I did really enjoy the Missing Man ep though. Burials had some peak moments like 17 Crimes and The Conductor, but fell flat often.
