random StS thought remember watching the Silver and Cold video and thinking it was sick that Jade was wearing a Bathory jacket
The band put up an anniversary package for sing the sorrow. T shirt, drawstring bag, and poster for $60. Was hoping for vinyl...
An old buddy of mine had a vinyl copy of StS and it sounded so good on vinyl. Would love to get my hands on a copy as well.
Every time I hear it it always reminds me of original Terminator movie a little bit. The score I mean, not the actual movie haha
I'm revisiting StS right now, and yeah, it's still great. The underlying guitar melody in the final chorus of Silver and Cold adds so much to that song. About to get into the Dancing Through Sunday solo.
Okay, my last post singing this album's praises but for real, this album was one of those rare cases where a band was able to balance between mainstream accessibility/big production and raw energy/song structures that could satisfy their "underground" fanbase (for lack of a better term).
Went to put Sing The Sorrow on the other day and the album isn't on Apple Music. I couldn't believe it how is that a thing?
Yeah it’s just annoying when putting on a playlist on at work. YouTube is battery overkill and the adverts suck. Hopefully they fix it soon must be a label issue.
Agreed! I really like the song writing on the whole thing, for an album where they abandoned their heavy/punk sound. So glad I got to see them tour that album.
I need to revisit that album. I listened to it couple times when it initially came out and it bored me to death, and I haven't listened since. Maybe it'll be a different experience now that I'm older. One thing I thought was excessive/annoying about that album was how often Davey went "OHH!".
But if there's one thing that's been consistent though with every AFI record since Sing the Sorrow, it's that Jade's guitar work gets better and better.
Haha I think he does do that in almost every song. Davey's "OHH!" in the last chorus of Beautiful Thieves though always makes me happy
