AFI (A Fire Inside) Band • Page 6

Wester and A Winter's Tale have been treating me very well as of late despite not fitting the time of year at all.

 

Probably a late 2017 release, right?

 

I've listened to a couple of this band's albums once and didn't think much of it, but they're one of those bands I feel like I should try again.

 

Wasn't suuuuuper impressed with Art Of Drowning but maybe it'll click later

 

I'm a fan of most of AFI's work up to and including Sing The Sorrow but then kind of fell off. Didn't love Decemberunderground, actually liked a decent amount of Crash Love, and Burials was fine but never really hit me that hard. I still respect the hell out of the band and will listen to whatever they put out, just holding out hope I really get into it this time.

 

You could skip their early records, but Black Sails in the Sunset, All Hollows EP, The Art of Drowning and Sing the Sorrow are all exceptional. Decemberunderground is very different, when they embraced the electronic aspect of their sound, but it's solid. Crash Love is hit-and-miss, and Burials is pretty good middle ground between DU and CL, with better songs than CL. That's my two cents!

 

With you on this

 

Something tells me they won't reverse the trajectory their sound is on. I hope I'm wrong.

 

Daveys band with No Doubt members are in the studio now

 

I would love if the next album had some b-sides. Every album from Black Sails to Crash Love has at least one outtake that I adore.

 

Alright what do y'all think the lead-up will be this time? More creepy videos?

 

Listening to Sing the Sorrow for the first time in a LONG time. Man, this album is amazing.

 

I've been hooked on "The Despair Factor" recently. Been a go-to song during workouts and just in general.

 

Also never knew that was what AFI stood for, but you learn something new every day

 

I've been listening to "Synthesthesia" a lot (not sure if that's the actual title but it is on the download I have of STS). I miss this band.

 

new album fuck yes AFI can do no wrong, even when operating at half capacity (like nowadays)

 

I stumbled upon this in youtube completely by accident and I am SO HAPPY. I love it.

Like, how long have we waited for this song?

 

That is a greaaaat track

 

Person who made the download did butcher the name I found out hahaha but yeah it's such a fun song! I completely get why it didn't make it on Sing The Sorrow, but god it's so great.

 

This is everything.

 

Sing The Sorrow is growing on me more and more

 

Sing the Sorrow is one of the best albums of the 00's

 

I could see me coming around to this. Of the more "acclaimed" AFI records this one is definitely my favorite. Dark and moody and goth and macabre, I love it.

 

I'll never forget listening to that album for the first time. "The Beginning," is one of my favorite openers.

 

Yeah that opening is great. The increased use of strings and keys is a nice addition too as far as making an atmosphere and setting the mood. The guitars and bass and drums do a really good job with that as well, especially the guitar.
