Ok, so I couldnt help myself and downloaded it. All I can say is wow, wait to be blown away. For those who dont know, AFI are a hardcore punk/goth band from the Bay area. They have a big fan base, and this new album, Sing the Sorrow, is their first major label release. Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage) and Jerry Finn (Green Day, Rancid, Sparta) co-produced the album. It's had a lot of pre-release hype, and all I can say is that it was well worth it! I've been a fan for the last year or so, and this album blows all of their others out of the water completely. It's some majorly intense stuff. The album comes out March 11, prepare to have your kiesters kicked in when you finally hear this thing.
AFI's new album, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

new u.s. bombs also comes out march 11th.
I love how a Celine Dion thread has gotten more hits and posts in it than this one. That's really sad. Seems like most U2 fans wait until the press craps their pants over an album, and then act like they're huge fans of the band instead of looking for good music themselves.

I kind of liked AFI. I had a song from Art of Drowning, i think it was Morning Star or something.
I just read a good article about them in a local magazine i picked up for free from an indy music store i stopped by.

Ok, I listened to this album today at the gym and I have to say yet again: PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR KIESTERS KICKED IN A MAJOR WAY BY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!! With the right backing by their label, this could end up being huge.
Thanks cujo, the only reason I ever did this thread was so hopefully a few more people could get interested in or check out this band. I think they're really worthwhile. Just tell me if you want any recommendations on what to download or look into.

i was watching the video for "total immortal" (today kazaa seems to like me) and someone was wearing a johnny the homicidal maniac shirt. cool comic.
Yeah, that's an interesting video. I like it. I like the Jack-o-lanterns in the background. I also like how much Davey Havoc wanted to look like he was in The Misfits back then. I wish he still had that look, he looks like a bizarre woman now.

i asked whether the cd had come in, and he didn't know...
but he said that there is some other afi stuff in the stacks...i have a feeling that the citizens of this town who happen to turn on the radio will hear plenty of afi tonight...
i'd definetly say i like them more now than i did a few weeks ago...

awesome, i hope they make it out to the complete oposite side of the country sometime...
on my show i played three afi songs: "the day of the phoenix"
"the lost souls" and one about wanting a mowhawk...
and then i didn't realise that the dj on before me had turned off the mic competly (cos what kind of idiot does that?) and when i went on air to tell anyone listening what songs they just heard, there was some lovely dead air...dead fucking air

march 11th is a day of cash drainage

They have been playing Girls not grey alot on my local station, pretty good......
Elvis Presley said:
Yeah, it's pretty good. I'm kinda disappointed they released it as a single though. I guess it's the most poppy of the whole album though, so that's understandable. I have a lot of songs off of the album I like more though.
