How many much TBS songs have you heard? I have everything they've done and I know it doesn't sound like this. For one, lyrically/vocally they're completely different and musically this album is nothing special as it was with Sing The Sorrow/Art Of Drowning but not TBSey at all. Yes, its not as 'dark' sounding as Sing The Sorrow, but I wouldn't go so far as to compare it to a pop-group. Then again this album was the most mainstream successful I think, which is probaly were a 'true' AFI fan hate comes from.

I found nothing wrong with AOD or STS, they're my 2 favorites, I can't get bored of them. And as for instruments being less important, I really doubt that BSITS had much to do with instruments at all. In fact, most of it sounded the same. But I liked one, so I liked the rest.



I've heard quite a few TBS songs, they all gave me a serious headache. Some of these AFI songs are pretty much the same headache, and I can't stand it. It's that style they're using that I remember being used in TBS songs. Don't like it. But now that I'm forcing myself to give them second listens, The Missing Frame and Kiss&Control are pretty good.

I just realized something! They ditched the whole "Let's make the title completely irrelevant to the song" thing! Aww man!!!! I liked that!

I've listened to the album through quite a few times. It maybe (loosely) the same genre, but AFIs sound is alot better done (musically) and more melodic/slow/expierenced sounding then Taking Back Sundays.

Bump becuase davey is a hottie.

^ What a Dyke

Anything after "Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes" is a travesty

You have to be deaf to think there are any similarities between AFI and Taking Back Sunday.

Agreed, if you would like to explain where the similarities are that would be great! AFI are just a band who have grown, although i do like STS a little more than the new record. They are a terrific live band too! Just seen um in glasgow the other day!!

Early stuff I found. The first 2 work no problem but the second 2 I can't figure out. I do everything it says but it doesn't work so if someone could figure it out that would be nice.

Davey Havok has an awesome voice. Not many can hit the pitches he does without sounding like a screeching cat.

There's a button in the top left that says download. Clicking that worked for me.

i used to like afi and wouldnt stop listeing to misss murder but now i hate them.

I dunno, they're alright but their voice is too irritating for me to bare very long.

They have a couple of good songs but that's all. I wouldn't listen to them regularly, but good enough for once in a while.

i have only heard "Miss Murder"

Go listen to their earlier stuff. Black Sails In The Sunset is awesome.

Their Sing For Sorrow album was ok. I liked The Leaving Song Pt.2
I've got a question WTF is the meaning to Girls Not Grey.:confused:

it means dance with plush toys

What do you guys think of MTV playing Love Like Winter. AFI has become too popular and sadly turned their back on good rock...If that's what you want to call it.

I could care less, I like Love Like Winter. I also don't have cable, so I don't watch mtv:)

That's a good thing. You won't have to see the corporate bull**** that they sell or see the poision they show. :)

QFT

Yeah Love Like Winter is a good song.

^ fo sure
I'm very fond of The Interview and The Missing Frame

AFI used to be a cool band. What happened? Oh darn, they went MAINSTREAM!

The Dutch version isn't too bad... It's the American shows they put on there sometimes that are pathetic. :')

You've said that for 3 diffrent bands, just because a band makes it mainstream doesn't mean they change the music I can tell you AFI hasn't....I don't think, every band has made it mainstream it doesn't matter. All this mainstream junk is BS and an excuse to not like a band or genre.

AFI definitely did change their sound. Actually I'd say they've been changing since Black Sails in The Sunset. Switching out two members will do that.

Hah i have someone agrees with me

They changed their sound and became garbage before they went mainstream. Two albums before to be exact.

I just dont really like AFI. Not me....

A Fire Inside
 

Im new here guys, so sorry if im starting a thread that has already been discussed, but what are your guys thoughts on AFI. I mean, back in the day they were a awesome punk band, and they have moved into the mainstreme more the past few years since sing the sorrow, but personally i still love them.

What are your thoughts?

Love the old stuff... some of the new stuff is okay.

Old stuff was good, Miss Murder was decent, Silver And Cold was good....Other than that I can't say much positive about the newer songs.

Everything up until Sing the Sorrow ruled. The Miss Murder Era or whatever they are in now is odd. They probably only have a few goodish songs in my mind. But I grew up listening to them all the time, so I like them.

Sing The Sorrow is one of my guilty pleasures :X

ONE OF THE BEST PUNK BANDS EVER, NO DOUBT. xp

I can't tell if you're serious or joking. Cut the fucking caps.

I liked afi from "answer that and stay fashionable" all the way up to "decemberunderground" because even theyre sound has changed its still a great sound...but has anyon heard theyre newer song "carcinogen crush"? because i think that was just horrible
