| AFI - The Missing Man Ranked
On a 2010's AFI hype and here is their best work of the decade. Ranked. | | 5 |  | AFI
The Missing Man
5. Get Dark - A tense verse with a sick bass line unfortunately culminates into a boring, yet inoffensive chorus from Davey. At least we get that monster solo from Jade. Fun track that fits right at home with the short but sweet tracks on Blood. | | 4 | | AFI
The Missing Man
4. The Missing Man - The title track has all of the components to be a top tier AFI song with chilling samples and excellent usage of both strings and acoustic guitar. Hell, the instrumental at the end was downright epic. Too bad, Davey ruins the whole vibe with a borderline awful chorus. Ignoring that, you've still got a good song. | | 3 | | AFI
The Missing Man
3. Trash Bat - Jade's having the time of his life here and Davey's got one of his catchiest hooks to accompany it. Trash Bat should be the gold standard for AFI jams. | | 2 | | AFI
The Missing Man
2. Back Into The Sun - let's start by saying these top 2 are nothing short of astonishing to say the least. AFI hasn't released a single song in the past 10 years that has entered my top 20 or so songs without question. The fact that there are 2 is wild to me. Both are inventive and fresh and I can't get enough of them.
Back Into The Sun is one of the most emotionally satisfying songs in their discography. It's the power-ballad-esque track I've been dying for for the past 10 years now. The chorus has this almost nostalgic warmth to it and Jade decides to let loose in places where he didn't even need to making this track even better. | | 1 | | AFI
The Missing Man
1. Break Angels - Slightly edging out Back Into The Sun, Break Angels is the strongest AFI song of the decade. Davey kills it here, being one of their most fun songs while still feeling powerful. This is further fleshed out with the way Adam decides to switch up the rhythm, almost completely altering the vibe for the better. The reason I love this as much as I do is because it really is AFI doing what they have the ability to do best...writing a great song that feels all their own. As if I wasn't 110% sold on the song already, that gang vocal response in the last chorus is perfect. Break Angels is a testament to just how amazing these 4 guys can still be 20 years into their lifespan as a band with this lineup and is hopefully indicative of what they still have to offer.

07.31.19 | I wrote more than I expected to which is surprising because this was my 2nd time trying to upload this but then sputnik fucked it up of course. the first version was even wordier lol so this is probably for the better.
please gush over my top 2 with me. | GreyShadow
07.31.19 | Blaqk Audio - Only Things We Love next and I should probably do Dreamcar too. I have 1 track from each of those that I could definitely gush over though so I'm hype | artiswar
07.31.19 | 1 and 2 are great but 4 should be 1... | GreyShadow
07.31.19 | bro, i swear, if i liked the chorus it definitely would be. hell, with a good chorus it would probably be top 10 AFI which is crazy | Feather
07.31.19 | hahahahahahaha agreed, but I love the whole ep. | artiswar
07.31.19 | the chorus is great wtf | outliers
07.31.19 | 1. TT
2. break angels
3. trash bat
4. back into the sun
5. get dark | Skoj
07.31.19 | Back Into the Sun is their best song since StS was released. | LightChaotic
08.01.19 | The Missing Man, Break Angels, and Back Into The Sun are some of the best songs that AFI has ever produced. Trash Bat and Get Dark are just pure fun. | Feather
08.01.19 | Break Angels and Back Into the Sun: Perfect serious AFI
Trash Bat and Get Dark: Perfect fun AFI
The Missing Man: Perfect experimental AFI
EP is gold. | GreyShadow
08.01.19 | i'm just glad we all agree this rules | Feather
08.01.19 | I don't agree with your ranking. I do agree every song is awesome. | GreyShadow
08.01.19 | as long as either 1 or 2 are in your top 2, I respect it | Feather
08.01.19 | Hmmm I think ... Honestly the Top 4 are all equal to me. Missing Man is only a minor step down because its not what I've come to AFI for.
Break Angels, Trash Bat, Back Into the Sun, Get Dark, Missing Man |
