AFI, they have come a long way, since 1991, none of the boys had any musical experience yet they managed to succeed creating their first EP and later their first album, their lyrics are quite amazing, and Davey is an amazing vocalist.
Most people that say they suck or they hate them have most likely only hear Miss Murder and yes I do admit the song is not their best work, but had it not been overplayed I'm sure people would appreciate that song as for the rest of Decemberunderground, not all the songs sound like that and if you are a fan you know that no two AFI albums ever sound the same because the boys are constantly changing their style and don't want to stick to making albums that all sound the same unlike some other bands.
Another thing is that Davey is not 18 years old anymore and people do mature over the years, so it's not like he's going to be singing about cereal or mowhawks like he used to when he was a teen.
They are a TALENTED band and don't deserve to be bashed so much because of ONE or two songs that aren't very good.
This is my favorite song by them because it has great lyrics, they reach out to tons of people.
