AFI - Silver Bleeds the Black Sun… (October 3, 2025) • Page 21

Yep on Hardlore when they were discussing All Hallow's, was pretty amusing

 

Davey was throwing some right grenades in those interviews. He even said he regretted the screaming in DU

 

I absolutely love how much Adam and Hunter get to shine on this album. A lot of AFI albums feel like Davey and Jade are at the forefront on the bands sound, and this album really shows how great Adam and Hunter are as a driving force.

 

crazy how many people i know that never even jammed this band that were watching and talking about those interviews lol cant think of that happening too often

 

I’ve only listened a couple of times, but I’m really loving it. They’re definitely ready to take this step in their career, they sound comfortable, not forced at all. Listening to the record after the Hardlore podcast definitely adds another level to the experience.

 

A truly singular rhythm section

 

vinyl for this album has been gorgeous all around

 

I dunno why but listening to this album makes me regret not seeing Blaqk Audio last year with Sisters of Mercy

 

Which variant is that?

 

Clear with black/purple marble, 500 made. Got it off run for covers site.

 

I’ve got a sealed one of these on discogs for 35 shipped if anyone is interested!

 

Black and pink remains a cool color combination

Makes me want to sing "blackpink in you area" when spinning this

 

I went with Rough Trade.

Not only did I like their variant best, I feel all classy when they tell me my order has been "dispatched" instead of shipped.

 

Got a decent setlist in Cleveland, they absolutely killed. New songs sounded massive.

 

Currently listening to this while sitting next to a fire in the rain, it’s cold and spooky out and this is hitting.

 

Finally getting to the Blood Album in my discography run. I was anticipating this to be the worst one. So Beneath You, Dumb Kids, and Pink Eyes (why would you call a song this lol) I could leave but the rest is great.

 

Damn, Bodies might have my weakest reaction so far. Dulceria is amazing though. His delivery on "inhaled sugar there, dancing through the sweet air" throughout got me good. The bass and sparse guitars hit so well.

 

Bodies felt like their Joy Division record and this new one feels like their Bauhaus record.

 

AFI is really stepping into something smart and remarkable with the new album. Can't wait to see them in Tampa!

 

Been spinning this album a lot this last week, I like it a lot

 

This is incredible. Wow. Behind the clock is still my favourite but every song is pretty cool.

 

I'm so angry at myself for not springing for the extra $4 for Priority Mail from Rough Trade. Media Mail has never felt so sluggish.

 

Not sure how I feel about this record. It’d easy to put on and have in the background (which is not always the case, so I do think it’s good) but outside of the opener I don’t remember very many specific moments. Needs more listens.

 

There's a b-side floating around that sounds like a Scooby Doo song to me
