AFI - Sing the Sorrow

Their debut album from Dreamworks includes two bonus tracks: "Now The World" and "Synthesthesia". Album Description

 My favorite album EVER!
There are almost no words to describe the impact this wonderful, flawless CD has made on my life. This is goth/rock/punk/emo...whatever label you want to put to AFI at it's best. The only label I think they need is amazing. This is an album with countless themes and morals, thats sings of all of lives heartaches and triumphs. It's as haunting as it's is beautiful, each song epic and soul touching. I've had to buy two copies of this CD because I've worn out the first. If you buy the bonus version of the CD it's well worth your money, the bonus songs on this CD are absolutely perfect pieces of music. Davey sings with more emotion than most artist dare touch there songs with and his lyrics are artistic, and utterly poetic. November 26, 2007

 This is a great CD
If you like AFI, you'll love this CD. There is not one bad song on this CD. And the two added songs are awesome. I highly recommend this CD, whether you buy the regular version or the England version. July 11, 2006

 i wrote this review for the bonus tracks
i have 2 versions of STS and this UK version with synesthesia and now the world

im just gonna review the bonus tracks, cause simply put, the rest of the cd is amazing. buy this

synesthesia - 1000000/10 - the most amazing song from the STS era of AFI. words cannot describe the bridge/outro of this song. i think i cried a little.

now the world - 9/10 - good song, personally i like the 336 10" version of this song better. this one is more professional sounding and a bit more produced though

buy this cd. now. June 18, 2006

 Natural Progression
When I heard this album I was floored. I had their back catalog for two years prior to the release of Sorrow. To me this was a natural progression that should have been seen from Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes. Still the first listen of this album is very emotional and I still get choked up on the epic finale ...but home is nowhere/This Time Imperfect. Still haven't purchased the Import yet, but contemplating it. June 6, 2006

 Complete
AFI have come a long way from where they began. They have changed so much that many fans of the early years are very turned off by their recent efforts. I am not one of those fans. When I was introduced to AFI, I listened to "Answer That and Stay Fashionable". That cd has some of my favorite songs such as "Half Empty Bottle", "Yurf Rendenmein", and "High School Football Hero". That was some great music. Compare those songs to "Girl's Not Grey", "This Celluloid Dream", and "...but Home is Nowhere", and you will have a hard time recognizing that this is the same band. Still, the transition from Bad Religion-esque punk rock to Dark (tad Gothic) rock was not bad, but very unexpected. As a long time fan of AFI I give this album 5 stars because it's my personal opinion that AFI have done something fresh, musically, and not only that but every song on this album is so well done. The best part about this import is that the bonus songs are not only epically good, but they go so well with this album that I am surprised they were left out. If you liked the bonus tracks on this album then I recommend you get your hands on AFI's Girl's Not Grey EP, the one that has Reiver's Music. Another track you will thoroughly enjoy, assuming you enjoyed this album. March 15, 2006
