Negative Positive
Title: Is this supposed to be the "mainstream" album?
Review: I listened to this album several times wondering what the .... was wrong. For example, why did it sound like every other punk band out these days? Why did some of the songs sound like blatant Danzig ripoffs? The whole thing is really boring and melodramatic and I see no positive progression from Black Sails to this album, as there was with all the other albums. If anything, it shows a sharp degression. If you're not ready to put out more material, DON'T PUT OUT ANOTHER ALBUM. To be honest, I expected a lot more from a band like AFI. What happened to the energy? Why is Davey taking this whole Goth/Misfits/spooky image so far? What the .... is going on here? Why is AFI doing ...... 80's metal ballads (the last song). This album is just embarrassing. Don't buy it. It sounds like the offspring mixed with 80's metal.
Is the review positive or negative?
