Singing the Praises of AFI

by PacManY2J PacManY2J is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 19 '03
Pros: Dark, emotional rock with a good range of styles
Cons: ...
Just when I thought my list of favorite albums for 2003 was set, two more sneaked in at the last minute. In early December, I was given Brand New's Deja Entendu and AFI's Sing the Sorrow. Ever since, both have been taking ...

AFI's Sing the Sorrow -- Overmixed and Sadly Disappointing.

by emptywishes Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 21 '03
Pros: there's nothing really horrible about it.
Cons: overmixed to the point of killing the album.
My other half has a tendency to enjoy spending money. I, on the other hand, stress about money all the time and feel guilty when I spend anything more than like twenty dollars at one time. This weekend marked one of David's shopping sprees (although...

Who is this band, and where did they take my punk? A.F.I.'s Sing the Sorrow

by minorthreat78 , Aug 09 '03
Pros: Surprising production, generally enjoyable sound
Cons: A definite turn for the band...for better or worse
Being one of the few hearing this band prior to their success in the pop world, and one who actually ...

A.F.I. - Sing The Sorrow (This is not my AFI!)

by pearl-drum-man , Mar 21 '03
Pros: Several solid rock tracks
Cons: Not really the AFI I know, kinda disappointing.
INTRO

I was a casual fan of A.F.I.’s earlier works, however with the release of The Art Of Drowning they finally got me on board full steam, mostly due to the heavier vibe from the guitars, and Davey Havok’s more...

Sing the Sorrow: An orchestrated masterpiece for the ears of AFI fanatics

by joe-uncool , Jun 15 '04
Pros: Every track is beautifully composed. A modern day punk symphony.
Cons: Less cons than Arnold Schwarzenegger has body fat.
Biography of album: AFI being a hardcore punk band has always had the worry of “selling out”, this is what many punk critics accuse them of unjustly. With this album being AFI’s major-label debut, the tension and accusations of ...

Sing the Sorrow...For these fools are so bad that it's tragic

by den_inte_dod Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 24 '05
Pros: Hmm...Nothing. I'm not kidding.
Cons: If you buy this album, you are wasting your cash.
Whenever I purchased this album, I should've thought for a bit. Luckily, whenever I buy albums these days, I think it over and truly decide whether I should spend my cash on them. Well, obviously I had made the wrong choice of buying this album, and I ...

Dude, how dare you for branching out!

by blksqul , Jun 05 '03
Pros: It's got, like, punk things
Cons: I'll think of some!
Dude, like AFI sucks now. I heard it from my sister. She was, like, crying when she was tearing down her poster of Davey Havok. I don't even know where she got the poster. But that's not the point, dude. AFI has broken my lil sis's heart!

A Fire Inside? More Like "A Fake Identity" (UPDATE)

by JiggyJay Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 29 '03
Pros: Some great songs, cheaper than hell
Cons: Davey Havok, some crappy songs
I first came across AFI when I was looking up punk pictures for a report I was doing about punk rock ...

Not as good as old A.F.I.? Leave nostalgia behind, it's better than ever...

by willbpayne , Mar 30 '03
Pros: A.F.I. Mature Without "Selling Out"
Cons: More FM-Friendly Tracks May Alienate Hardcore Fans
It is a familiar moment to scores of bands, over decades of musical history. After working hard, touring a lot and releasing albums on small, independent labels, the group has provoked enough interest to attract the attention of major label executives....

Look up album in the dictionary and you'll find "Sing the Sorrow"

by jimmiespipe , Mar 13 '03
Pros: album by definition, complicated intricate yet melodic rhythms
Cons: the vocals are on the high pitched side
This is A.F.I.’s(A Fire Inside) sixth full length release. AFI is know for their intense live shows, and characteristic mix of hardcore with edgy punk rock. The band conjures incredible arrangements with high pitched, very, very punk...

to this nature, so unnatural

by anvrill , Apr 09 '03
Pros: A daring, intelligent look into the depths of loneliness and regret.
Cons: The band seems unable to decide just what they want to sound like.
I had heard the name AFI on and off through the years, and had mostly ignored it, since it always seemed to be attached to NOFX and other pseudo-underground candy punk endeavours. I didn't have the time to invest by listening to the likes of them, nor...

A Whole New AFI...Is That Good?

by blondeatheart , Aug 15 '03
Pros: Incredibly thoughtful lyrics
Cons: Less hardcore elements, some tracks have a poppy sound...where did that come from?, mainstream
This may not be the same AFI that left us with The Art of Drowning, but it is still a good one. Thi ...

A hit or miss album for AFI's die-hards.

by retro_sexua1 , Dec 16 '04
Pros: Lyrics, good songs for the most part, more mature and evolving sound develops
Cons: Three or four songs, sound may or may not be welcome for some, Butch Vig
I was immediately attracted to AFI (A Fire Inside) the moment that I had gotten a taste of their first single from Sing The Sorrow, Girl's Not Grey. Now that I look back on it, Girl's Not Grey was tame and paled in comparison to the rest ...

Sing The Sorrow comes with A Fire Inside

by musicsucks , Feb 17 '07
Pros: some great songs and lyrical bits
Cons: some poor songs
A band that has been so deeply rooted in the darker side of punk rock finally stepped out of their shell. They created a goth rock album with bigger guitar riffs, more dynamics, creative and extremely depressing lyrics, and a vocal range that has been ...

AFI change direction but still deliver the goods

by sexymonkey , Apr 14 '03
Pros: Original sounding, cool new direction for AFI and as ever, fantastic lyrics and singing
Cons: A few generally quite over long and boring tracks. Some sound samey
So after countless albums of basically straight forward hardcore music, AFI totally change what they are all about and turn thier music into a bizarre sounding little thing. But don't get me wrong it is very, very good.


AFI are a...
