blazebaileyfinnegan3: AFI Albums Ranked

Pikazilla 12.22.23	yeah 12 is omega shite
nightbringer 12.22.23	List is wrong.
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 12.22.23	4 is great. I never got around to the rest
blazebaileyfinnegan3 12.22.23	Whoops deleted my last comment so I'm just gonna try and repost it from memory: I wanted to shout out The Fire Inside EP. Their cover of The Hanging Garden is chefs kiss Also wanted to give some love to some of their b-sides/random etc. (not ranked btw) that are better then more than half of this list: - Synesthesida - Dream of Waking - Who Knew? - Lower It - Transference - Midnight Sun - Who said you could touch me? - Reivers' Music - Rabbits Are Roadkill on Rt. 37 - Now The World - Ether (not to be confused with the Jay-Z diss by Nas)
bellovddd 12.22.23	swap 3 and 1 and we are good.
Beardog 12.22.23	Decemberunderground and Crash Love have some great highs imo. Never cared that much for anything before those tbh
ShapeOfJizzToCum 12.22.23	Damn it's been a long ass time since I listened to Rabbits are Roadkill I gotta jam that. 1-3 are correct and I could prob swap the order around depending on my mood. Very Proud and Answer that are way too low give Geoff's bass some love. I dropped off rly hard with Decemberunderground and have barely fucked with anything since but I've been meaning to give the last couple a try, I heard a few singles off Blood Album i didn't hate.
Beardog 12.22.23	Blood album was surprisingly good agreed
Faraudo 12.22.23	Band is pretty damn solid now that I'm looking at their albums ranked
lyzakthellama 12.22.23	silver and cold is a great song, idc
GreyShadow 12.22.23	crash love good tho
Tyler. 12.23.23	4 is so good obvs
Storm In A Teacup 12.23.23	Most accurate to my perspective ranking ive ever seen.
Storm In A Teacup 12.23.23	I dont understand why bands cant let the bass fill a track like afi let bass fill a track.
SlothcoreSam 12.23.23	Black Sails Sing the Sorrow Shut your mouth Art of Downing Very proud of you Answer that December underground The others are not good
ShapeOfJizzToCum 12.23.23	"I dont understand why bands cant let the bass fill a track like afi let bass fill a track." Yeah Geoff had some of the most fun punk bass lines of all time and then Hunter was a perfect fit for their shift in sound and brings a ton to the table on those records, always appreciated.
Sinternet 12.23.23	swap 1 and 2 and nuke 6 to the bottom and this is pretty accurate their early hardcore stuff is fine too, nothing mindblowing but decent
blazebaileyfinnegan3 12.24.23	"Most accurate to my perspective ranking ive ever seen." Thats awesome. I love this damn band. Also anyone with any disparity as far as 1-3 goes, I'm with you. It's a tough choice. Those albums are so dang good.
blursuckhard 12.24.23	11 is the worst for me, but the band are fun regardless. Their middle-era stuff was fantastic.
blazebaileyfinnegan3 12.27.23	"I dont understand why bands cant let the bass fill a track like afi let bass fill a track." Love their bass work between hunter and geoff. Still to this day Hunter be having solid af basslines.
blazebaileyfinnegan3 01.12.24	Was just thinking I could maybe move 10 and/or 11 before 9 (burials)
StonedManatee 01.12.24	Sing the Sorrow, All Hallow’s EP, Black Sails in the Sunset, Decemberunderground (my hot take), Art of Drowning, AFI EP, Shut Your Mouth (and Open Your Eyes), The Missing Man EP, Burials, Crash Love, Blood Album, Very Proud of Ya, Answer That and Stay Fashionable, and Bodies…
GreyShadow 01.12.24	i feel like DU is more well respected than its average rating lets on. most surprising thing there is AFI EP that high but those tracks are def sick
blazebaileyfinnegan3 01.15.24	DU is the fuckin album for a lot of younger folk but we know. It's still the closest to sing the sorrow of the later albums. If I was gonna rate the a fire inside ep (assuming that's what you're talking about) would prob be right under decemberunderground.
blazebaileyfinnegan3 06.22.24	Was just thinking about this list and listening to AFI (and missigs), I think I wanna switch 2 with 1. Black Sails fucks my shit up
artiswar 06.22.24	A really solid ranking! Snow Cats also annoys the shit out of me and I love that album more than most on here. I can't believe you like Prelude off DU, that is maybe their worst track ever. Also think you underrated Burials and Crash slightly, but it's ok. I had a good time reading your list, would definitely switch around the first 3. Black Sails > Sing > Art
artiswar 06.22.24	also sidenote... literally never told this to another living soul but there's a specific line in At A Glance that completely broke my brain as a teenager. Completely influenced the rest of my life, probably for the worse unfortunately
blazebaileyfinnegan3 06.22.24	What's the line??
artiswar 06.22.24	Honestly, pretty much the entire song... But I'll leave the line up to your imagination. (it's the chorus)
blazebaileyfinnegan3 06.22.24	Ha I'm with you homie
blazebaileyfinnegan3 06.22.24	do you fuck with shut your mouth? Underrated. Sing the sorrow is on a whole other level, it's ridiculous. Random af but I think my fav songs there are Death Of Seasons and Paper Airplanes. It's almost a bummer how corporate ass money shit can perfect your sound. Idk I'm out of my guord
artiswar 06.22.24	For sure I fuck with Shut Your Mouth! I would rank DU above it (which sounds demented) but I liked your list a lot. Death and Paper definitely are the best on Sing for sure. Plus closer
artiswar 06.22.24	also I like how you're done talking about DU... I had so many mental breakdowns around that album, I understand. I've been there
blazebaileyfinnegan3 06.27.24	You're the man artiswar
blazebaileyfinnegan3 06.27.24	And there's a lot of people who'd rate decemberunderground #1 so it's not even too hot of a take. It's good shit but for me it was the album that kinda was like "wtf is happening to my band" lol it's almost like the black album for metallica and how i'd imagine older dudes felt about that. DU def grew on me over the years tho because it's still almost Sing The Sorrow AFI albeit with karen haircuts and poppier tendencies.
artiswar 06.27.24	I fucking can't stand the black album from Metallica, and I had a near mental breakdown when DU came out. I wanted StS pt 2. I grew to love it over time, but yeah, it's not top 3 by any means
blazebaileyfinnegan3 10.08.24	Still listening to AFI on the reg, esp the first 5 albums in this list.
