Not AFI at their peak

I was incredibly dissapointed when I heard the songs on this CD. I saw AFI at the Warped Tour in 2001, and was absolutely amazed. The band was incredible and sounded amazing. I will never forget hearing Total Immortal - the vocals and the rest of the band sounded exactly like the CD recording. Davey does a moderately decent job on the vocals for a some of the newer stuff, but older songs, and ones that feature screaming such as Death of Seasons, sound terrible in my opinion.

great cd

i think this is a great addition to the afi catalog i dont understand the holdover thing people are talking about afi has like fifteen albums when do you think they should put out a live cd pantera only had four when they put theres out and nobody whined about it but anyways the cd is awsome they could of played a little more from the art of drowning but they played everything from sing the sorrow that i wanted to hear i'm not to into december underground but the songs from it honestly sound better live i think except for love like winter witch will always suck (sorry i really dont like that song)my favs from the cd would be days of the phenox,death of seasons and silver and cold theres alot more but my brains not working and i dont have the case in front of me one other cool thing about the cd is nick 13 from tiger army comes out and does a song with them so over all the cd is great and even if it is a "holdover" cd what better time to do it

p.s. check out the dvd its the same show but its still enjoyable even if you heard the cd and it also has interviews December 27, 2007

A Fire Inside

I could agree with the previous review that this is a holdover album.. However, AFI has been rumored to be putting out an EP at the end of 2007 or beginning of '08 with B-sides from the Decemberunderground sessions.. This album compiles the audio takes from the 'I Heard A Voice' DVD recently released by the band. This disc has a decent assortment of their recent material, mostly from 'Decemberunderground' and 'Sing The Sorrow'.. The only songs AFI played from albums prior to those two are "The Days of the Phoenix", "A Single Second", "Totalimmortal", and "God Called In Sick Today".. However, this album does have its highlights, most notably a performance of the hidden track from 'Sing The Sorrow', "This Time Imperfect".. I bought the disc primarily for that track and it did not disappoint.. The guitars in "The Leaving Song, Pt. II" are incredible, not to mention Davey's phenomenal vocals..

This disc is a solid release as the band's first live album.. However, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't a die hard AFI fan.. If you're looking to get into the band, buy their self-titled compilation of songs from the Nitro label, or 'Sing The Sorrow.'
