[QUOTE=nightbringer]I like all AFI, new and old. I enjoy the older stuff because of the raw energy mainly, and because of the sense of community and belonging the records give.

I'm guessing Sing The Sorrow and Decemberunderground would be classed as the much hated new stuff. I like Sing The Sorrow because it still feels really energetic, but also has more interesting elements, such as the addition of some electronics. Overall, the record has such an intense and beautifully sorrowful feeling. One of my favourite records ever actually.

Decemberunderground is just a really great pop rock record. I love all the synth experimentation and hooks. Good, fun record. The only thing I'm mainly dissapointed with in the album is that the lyrics aren't as good as previous efforts.

Havok is not an outstanding singer, and I can understand why his voice might not appeal to some people, but it's unique and fits the music well. His lyrics are usually nop notch as well. Jade's guitar work is often more technical that it initially appears and although once again, not outstanding, he is a good song writer. Adam and Hunter don't massively stand out, but what they contribute works well. In summary, no individual member is extraordinarily talented, but the fusion of their sound is really attractive, at least to me.

I'm not a 'scene' kid whose taste in music ranges from Linkin Park to Good Charlotte, I just genuinely enjoy the band. AFI are so often unfairly thrown in with a lot of the poorer mainstream bands that are around today, but they really aren't that bad. At all.

This could all be worded better, but it's 2.15am and I'm tired.[/QUOTE]


Alrighty. Thanks for the objective view, sir.

Ehh. I slack them into the other mainstream, although putting anybody with GC is harsh.

I love Sing The Sorrow. It has a really cool vibe to it that I enjoy.

^ Have you heard their older stuff, Anthony?

It's really REALLY good.

NP: AFI - Strength Through Wounding

you dudes are totally mallcore

Yeah, I've heard it. It's good, but I'm not much of a punk fan.

There may be alot of Mall in AFI, but there's certainly no Core.

Meh, I like them. I'm getting my guilty pleasures out today :p

Try clicking on the "Charts" tab and then go to weekly charts. That's what happened with me, it doesn't show mine on the overview yet, but when I go to the "Charts" tab it does.
