Where should I start with this band?

 

It's also very reminiscent of the first Talk Talk album's artwork.

 

Wooohoo

 

I’d suggest starting with crisis, then watch out. Check out the rest from there

 

or just start from the beginning, they have four albums, it's not like it's that much of a time commitment

 

Crisis is probably the most accessible, but .44 Caliber Love Letter is such a distinct and special opener that I can’t imagine starting anywhere else than the self titled.

 

yep absolutely, also "most accessible" is kind of missing the point for AOF haha

 

Dogs Blood and Death Letter both feel essential to me though

 

I always go chronologically with an established band I'm wanting to properly check out and give a go, because I can see how they've progressed, changed, and evolved which also gives me a better sense of how other fans feel if I want to discuss them.

But, if you want to go from accessible/popular to the more experimental then I'd say Crisis > Watch Out! > Old Crows/Young Cardinals > S/T > Dog's Blood.

Then the Death Letter EP which is basically some of their songs (mostly from Old Crows/Young Cardinals) reworked.

 

skip the self-titled at first, start with Watch Out! then work your way chronologically. if you're still hungry for more engage with the self-titled, but I don't really recommend that record.

 

All their albums are pretty different from one another, so there’s a good chance if one doesn’t click with you the next one might.

 

@xapplexpiex I didn't see any mention, but make sure you listen to City & Colour too.

 

I'm already thinking about a possible setlist if they open for UO lol.

Open with Season of the Flood(maybe trimming the opening for times sake). Then after a little excessive guitar feedback blast into Drunks, Lovers, Sinners, and Saints.

Don't let me down random message board rumors! I need this.

 

Last time I was this surprised was that one (or two) days that saw Thrice and Thursday going on hiatus on one side and Refused and At The Drive-In announcing their reunions on the other.

 

Really hope the guys are the new support for Underoath. I need to see them and I can't afford the time and money to get to So What? fest

 

instead of going to Furnace Fest I've decided I'm going to follow AOF around the US for a few dates of their tour if they announce one

 

New single next week

 

Hope this is the album announcement we've been waiting for.

 

Genre tags have me stoked

 

Stoked.

 

Hope its true

 

vk is usually right about 99.9% of the stuff they post

 

I am sure it is haha I just wanted that album announcement really bad and it didn't come

 

Beyond stoked!

 

I’m ready
