AFI turned into mainstream emo shit after Art of Drowning. Sing the Sorrow was so incredibly bad and such a disgrace to their older stuff that I don't even want to listen to the new album.
Its pretty much a whole new band, they lost the guitarist and bassist leading up to all hallow's ep, and art of drowning was sort of a transformation album. i like all afi music, very talented band that changes every album.
They succeeded at creating an emo/pop-punk album and they made the transormation to a major label step very well. Sing the sorrow was an amazing album, probably the most mature pop-punk album i've ever heard.
did anyone see AFI perform on the MTV video awarRAB? Davy has turned into the biggest flamer nowadays. Not just the way he looks but his mannerisms are getting a little ridiculous. I love AFI but I'm starting to get turned off by him now
