I really like their older stuff. I own black sails in the sunset, all hallows e.p., art of drowning and sing the sorrow. My favourite is art of drowning. I was pretty disapointed with sing the sorrow, I hope their new one will be better.

i highly doubt it will be, there moving more into a techno-goth style of music, i think it will be an ok album, but there not gonna get better.

i don't even know what to think of that. how is sing the sorrow "techno" at all?

Let's Chop Cats! 06-15-2005 05:39 PM

Well there is the song Death of Seasons, plus I hear Davey and Jade are doing a techno side project.

death of seasons? is that the one you mean? unless you're talking about the cello (i think) outro, which still isn't techno, there's nothing in that song that seems even remotely out of place. and side projects aren't really the issue (although that's news to me, any more info?).

Let's Chop Cats! 06-15-2005 05:48 PM

There is techno in that song. Most noticeable at 1:10 into the song for about 15 seconds.

cheeser_1 06-15-2005 05:50 PM

*digs through box of CDs*
*plays*

i stand corrected. still, that's what, .4% of the album?

Let's Chop Cats! 06-15-2005 05:51 PM

Hey I'm not the one who called them techno-goth, just saying I can see where people get it from.

cheeser_1 06-15-2005 05:54 PM

i know. that was partially directed at you, partially at him. i think people confuse cool sounding guitar effects with something that actually sounds like techno.

what i meant was that theyre gonna be including more techno stuff into there music, not replacing the other instruments. And plus davey and jade have a side project called Blaq Auido, which is like a dark EMB style techno outfit. And Davey does DJing under the alias 'DJ Glitterboy'. I like AFI, but sometimes they just make me think "WTF?".

Let's Chop Cats! 06-15-2005 05:56 PM

Link me to this Blaq Auido you speak of, I wish to hear them.

Asharak 06-15-2005 06:01 PM

sorry thats the most helpful i can be, i dont think they have actually recoreded anything yet, im and not sure if they will, they were just talking about it. Why must AFI be so secretive and mysterious.

Txus 06-15-2005 06:01 PM

Good band but their olders stuff was wayyyy better!

they haven't really strayed into techno just yet, and if they've got a techno side project, i can't imagine their new album is going to be techno-laden. and let's not forget, it's their band, and i cede them the right to make their own decisions about what they play above any third party, myself included.

Let's Chop Cats! 06-15-2005 06:06 PM

That link sucks, do they have any songs up somewhere?

Asharak 06-15-2005 06:21 PM

i searched the DF board and cant find anything, i dont really know whats going on with that.

davybum69 06-15-2005 07:29 PM

Afi is the ****ing ****, i love them, espcially there old stuff

RetiredAt21 06-15-2005 11:25 PM

Their old stuff is quality.

luv_bad_religion 06-16-2005 04:21 AM

They really rocks. A Winter's Tale, Falling Children and Porphyria Cutanea Tarda are great! And they have good lyrics

shamed-angel 06-16-2005 10:25 AM

I really hate the way everyone was calling the drum and bass break on "Death of Seasons" Unique. I heard it and it reeks of Refused. but It's still great. Personally I love A.F.I. my favourite song would have to be either Ever and a Day or Total Immortal.

Rancid Dan 06-16-2005 10:36 AM

I love death of seasons.

I don't why people thing Sing the sorrow was a dissapointment.

It's my favourite and i have most of their albums...

SpecialBoy 06-16-2005 11:40 AM

That's because you like pop punk more.

max_facekick 06-16-2005 03:49 PM

Their newer stuff is going to keep going downhill, Davey said in an interview that their new album will be much more industrial sounding :( ....Very Proud of Ya and Black Sails are the shiznit though.

jerrod_gilbert 06-16-2005 08:23 PM

I love all of their albums, Art of Drowning is my favorite tho...... Sing the Sorrow was really different, but I loved the change, I just hope that their next cd kinda goes back to their old stuff, but if it doesn't, I'm sure it'll be great because it's AFI

blacklantern 06-17-2005 04:16 AM

AFI's new album will no way whatsoever be like there old stuff. AFI are a continously evolving band always incorporating something new in every album. I agree that the new album might have some techno flavour to it, but who cares? If it does it probably a tiny bit if any, and how good did it sound in Death of Season?? I also dont see why people say that Sing the Sorrow was such a disapointing album... i own all of AFI's records and i certainly dont believe sing the sorrow is their worst......

max_facekick 06-17-2005 09:37 AM

I liked Death of Seasons, but it was the only industrialish sounding track on StS. If they start writing solely industrial-techno stuff, I will be greatly depressed. I miss the Answer That And Stay Fashionable days.

MSV 06-17-2005 03:24 PM

Abe Afi e edno od najbolji pank sranja!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

blacklantern 06-19-2005 07:05 AM

Yeah i agree... it would be rather sad if all their songs were like Death of Seasons but im pretty sure the new album wont be like that....but theres always the thought of it definataly being like that lurking in the back of my head... :confused:

Rise Me Up 06-19-2005 07:37 AM

We got my brother their rare tracks 12". It rocks.

A SolitaryEcho 06-19-2005 10:32 AM

"We're not an industrial band" - Davey Havok. And as for the Blaqk Audio side project, Jade admitted he was more thinking outloud when he brought that up. And they all said their not going to go overboard with the techno on the new album, and it will have faster tempos then those on Sing The Sorrow.

Do you all honestly think their going to replace Adam with a Drum Machine, and Jade is going to trade in his guitar for a laptop?
