AFI are streaming their new album, Crash Love, on their MySpace. Listen here: www.myspace.com/afi And here's my review of the album, based on my first impressions: http://rosesnoranges.com/2009/09/21/afi-crash-love-first-impressions/
Interesting, there are two threads on this. Yours was first, though! I really enjoyed reading your interpretation of it. My first impression was: "Sing The Sorrow b-sides?" sounds like what they'd make right before decemberunderground.
Hey, sorry that I made a duplicate thread, didn't see yours. I am still taking it all in...but I love Torch Song!
Yeah "Torch Song" is amazing... I think the reason I like it is because it sounds like new-and-approved Sing the Sorrow era AFI. I was okay with the fact that they dropped the electronics and the screaming, but I don't really like that they dropped a lot of the dark feeling... it was kinda like when I was disappointed that LP dropped a lot of the rap
It's grown on me... I saw them at their album release party last night and they killed it. Amazing show.
Just posted my full review of the album and their album release party! http://rosesnoranges.com/2009/10/04/rrreviews-afi-crash-love-album-release-party/
