  • Good ol East Bay Hardcore!!!

  • this has dexter from the offspring in it

  • @absurd207 Many songs on the album do.

  • awesome song, perfect song to mosh to

  • Just did Jagerbombs with friends here to this. Good stuff!

  • @notyoursavior78 Jagerbombs?

  • @Abercrombieand1Bitch

    It's an alcoholic mixed shot. I'm pretty sure these guys are more straight edge, but yeah I'm not.

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaand in the distance there's a gatheriiiiiiiiiing that no longer seems so far AWAY

  • Go!

    

  • As much as I like old AFI I think DecemberUnderground is really good! It has a mood-setting thing about it...

    

  • oh... and also.... 5 people are starving static minds...

  • The lyrics to this song are BRILLIANT!

  • @jafsica Seriously. What I love is that when I bought this on iTunes it recommended fucking Thrice...lol

  • @ScinLaeca358 I vaguely remember Thrice. They had a stint of popularity a few years back, no?

    I don't remember being terribly impressed.

    AFI and Bad Religion helped save my life in high school.

    (I was a nerdy, awkward, sciency person growing up in a small town where most of the people had small minds. I was also bullied by some family members, too.)

  • @jafsica Yeah I mention Thrice because they're basically a Christian band, which as everybody knows means they suck - I mean of course they don't even cop to it, it's just all their songs are super-Christiany and full of Bible verses like fucking Evanescence. So to see them pop up when I buy a song about how religion is mental slavery makes me laugh. This CD takes me back to freshman year in college...it's like the sound of me having fun when I was 18, plus the lyrics of course reign.

  • @jafsica Same, cept it's middle school, I'm still in it, and I"m pretty sure I won't survive it.

    I hate people...

  • @Abercrombieand1Bitch Hang in there.

    It's so much better when you get done with it. And the people suck less, or at least you don't have to be around them as much.

  • @jafsica THANK GOD!

    I always thought it would be this bad...

  • @Abercrombieand1Bitch Im in middle school too, its sucks doesnt it -.-

  • @iYaoiPanda Damn straight...

  • @Abercrombieand1Bitch yeah I hope high school will be much better

  • @iYaoiPanda Lets hope so...

  • @Abercrombieand1Bitch ya no kidding.

  • you are welcome prawn

  • "steal the flesh back" - take back sensory pleasure from religious austerity

    "from nature...to clarity" - turn away from religion and see the truth

    "deadly impulse" - religious impulses

    "brand new evolution" - new man without God

    "pushed to our knees...bring the real rain" religion is forced upon us, but we can cast it off and achieve real things (rain dances are silly Davey says)

    "our will be done" - human empowerment

    Song is about forsaking religion and taking responsibility as humans.

  • @FeelingFreshSon This is a wonderful song, with brilliant lyrics about the damages of religion and the benefits to leaving religion!

  • @FeelingFreshSon Fuckin' a.

  • @Cliffsofburton

    XD A friend asked me what this song meant because he was using it in a project. He was like "oh this is badass....what does it mean"

  • @FeelingFreshSon Ha. Tell him its about leaving a religion you were pushed into and suddenly realizing its all bullshit.

  • @xBlaqkWingsx yeah thats why id didnt go to the greenday show one i dont like greenday and 2 they werent gonna play a very long show worth my money but i agree during december underground touring his voice was bad off even on the i heard a voice dvd i was like what cause when i saw them live 3 times last year he was way better then the recorded long beach show wasnt as scratchy when he screamed.

  • my opinion is if you're a REAL TRUE AFI FAN you will love the new stuff as much as the older stuff :D I KNOW I DO!!!!

  • @BitterforSweet2 you probably werent even born when this album came out, shut up. the real fans are the ones who grew up with this band before they sold out. they suck now, face it. but their old stuff is absolutely golden.

  • @sansdeity420 Yes I was around :) I'm a real true fan and like I said they're all equal. Love ALL OF AFI from the beginning til.........(there's no end) so, FOREVER!!!! :D

  • there is nothing out there that can compare to the power of this album

  • Davey CAN'T yell like he used to anymore, seeing as how he's had surgery on his throat and his voice changed. It's sad, but we do still have many great albums, compared to their newer material. Despite many fans' disapproval they continue to do what they love. Amazing.

  • @xBlaqkWingsx whens the last time youve seen them live I have to ask cause he sure does scream love is a many splendored thing and death of seasons just fine and this was last year i saw them.

  • @willbirkin666 Two Augusts ago, but they opened for Green Day and played their hits starting from Sing the Sorrow. He kind of screamed in Dancing Through Sunday, but it wasn't as intense the album version.

    I only read about his throat surgery on the DF boards. I'd love the opportunity to see them live and watch them play more of their older songs.

  • Old AFI amazing. New AFI not so much.

  • @philosophicaljanitor thats your opinion. ♥

  • STFU FAGS!

  • Comment removed

  • great song (: thanx benji madden 4 bringin me here (;

  • miss the bangs

  • I miss old skool davey!!

  • I hate using the word epic, but that is what this song so is.

  • No matter what album you look at, the lyrical matter is all just as brilliant as the last. Once you start debating what sounds better, its opinion.

    Stop arguing and try to comprehend the lyrics, they're magic.

    Personally I love the sound of older AFI, cause I'm a hardcore type'uh'nigga.

  • @rriperr1991 I gotta say AFI is actually one of the most talented bands out there. The instrumental part is great, albeit nothing THAT special.......however the lyrics...oh my god the lyrics

    Most amazing words ever

  • @rriperr1991 Well said! Answer That and Stay Fashionable is my favorite punk album of all time. :D

  • way better than there fag emo scene stuff

  • One of my favorite songs in my favorite AFI Album ever!

  • This is one of my favorite songs! I use to sit in my room and put it on replay in 7th grade. This band got me through high school!! I LOVE AFI and i thought you guys should know

  • This song has always been a favourite of mine.

  • dude this tape...tape!!! used to get me hard..i'm listening to it now and it's a good ol hummer for sure

  • I love how you all call this screaming :D its not, its yelling! x] Davey shouldnt be screaming but hes damn good at it. Yelling is his thing though :)

  • this song has dexter holland

  • Lol Davey had no issues with his voice. Watch him live he;s still screaming.,..a lot. It's just a style change. Jade brought a wide variety of style that opened them up. Davey's lyrics though..seems to have lost a little substance but nothing is wrong with his voice. Watch "I Heard a Voice" =)

  • @thehumanbirdie REAL AFI fans = awesome people.

  • @shaneistheog you cant go wrong with an afi loving virgo, and in the distance theres a gathering that no longer seems so far away

  • @Scone54 true that.

  • Sorry but since Davey Havok has had an issue with his voice, AFI has lost its power, they are rather emo, but I think this is planned anyways, they did say they are disappointed in every ass hole who has a full sleeve and would not have done so themselves if every jack ass did the same. They probably realized that no matter what they do it would have a large following.

    I love AFI no matter what from Answer that and Stay Fashionable through today they are my favorite. Rock on Shits awesome.

  • Kinda reminds of old Nuclear Assault, WOW, am I giving away my age now?

  • fuckin loved this shit when it came out... n still do.............too bad there scrEMO now

  • @HxC4life11 theyre not... even close....

  • @HxC4life11 have you even heard their new shit?

  • @jvillenigga11 yea they went from punk to horror punk to emo to screamo now there alternative rock! what gives bro

  • Davey Havok doesn't scream anymore. His voice broke. You don't hear any screaming on Crash Love song.

  • @edroivas i think just so many albums of this type of music they wanted to make something different and yes he does scream go to one of their concerts

  • @edroivas

    i know and Crash love sucks every one of afi album has screaming and is somewhat hardcore but Crash Love is pop rock

  • Everybody!!!! My afi poeples!!! Go to "baby oh" now and flag it as innapropriate, or dislike it!!! Then we will slowly bring justin beieber off the web for good!! ( lmao this is corny :p) so, my afi fellows, we shall ALL untite as afi fans and bring the "beaver" DOWN!!

  • @Mswolfhugger

    that would be a waste of time!

    i'd rather listen to more afi songs :P

  • dexter hollands sneaky backin vocals make me crease my nutsack

  • im looking back seeing people rank albums. well here i go

    1.Black Sails/Sing The Sorrow TIE they are both phonomenal

    2.Art Of Drowning

    3.Decemberunderground/Shut Your Mouth

    4.Crash Love

    5.Very Proud of Ya

    6.Answer That

  • @GreyShadowUchiha You're a fucking moron. I just look at your name ontop of it, fucking anime losers piss me off. How you put answer that on the bottom is so far beyond me I can only hope you somehow get knocked the fuck out on the street by some punk.

  • @smokingbandit67 I'm a fucking moron? First of all people like you piss me off because you think your so cool calling me a loser. also TONS of people think that answer that is their worst album. its my opinion and i still like the album. its an opinion. its all AFI so i dont see what to make fun of. i could easily go on and say how STS, AOD, and BSITS are the greatests albums ever but i dont need to cause i dont care what you think.

  • @GreyShadowUchiha First of all, I don't care that I piss you off. Second of all, I don't care that a ton of people think it's the worst. Thirdly, I don't care about you. I'm just telling you what I think.

    Keep bopping your head to JPOP faggot.

  • @smokingbandit67 what the fuk is jpop? also if you dont care then why do u take the time to tell me that im a moron? answer that should be on the bottom of the list. its a good album but every single other album owns that. whats ur list if you think that you can make a better one?

  • @GreyShadowUchiha

    Jpop=Japanese Pop

    and seeing how people are talking about this

    I HATE their first two albums its just bitch Punk =D

    from Shut your mouth up is amazing music

  • @thehumanbirdie first albm just not reallly a musical album, second improved by having some better songs (Secret Ninja), while as u said third album and on is amazing

  • @smokingbandit67 see u cant even respond. what a waste of time.

  • @GreyShadowUchiha

    FINALLY SOMEONE THAT DOSENT HATE DECEMBERUNDERGROUND

    we actuall have the same taste except for THE ART OF DROWNING

  • @GreyShadowUchiha i prefer answer tht lol just my opinion tho

  • @liammatthewsmith nothing wrong with answer that, i like it, but compared to everything else its at the bottom.

  • @GreyShadowUchiha all opinions isn't it, however its very nice to see your comment isn't insulting just because you dont agree with it, at least not eveyone on youtube is a dick :)

  • one of my favourite songs from afi

  • JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC

  • My favorite song on the album, pumps me up. Not many afi songs get me ready for sports, it's weird I'm a hiphop kid born and raised on it. This is the only rock artist/group I keep up w/. Theyr music can transcend to other tastes of music

  • Fuckin brilliant band

  • Davey is too fucking good at screaming to not be doing that on at least 3 tracks out of every album.....Kill Caustic is amazing.....

  • AFI rocked big time here but they still do rock big time. AFI is AFI and all fans should accept all of the music AFI is preforming for "us". AFI's album crash love which was out on september 29 is sorta pop rock but hey they are still a great band. LOVE YA AFI!

  • regarding everyone who utters the word sell-out: while Black Sails is the pinnacle of pure musical expression, think of all the impurities that music today forces upon its artists. in order to get any airplay at all bands must subscribe to the way of the sheep; which demand predictable, American Idol like, generic, kareoke trash. So, compared to a Daughtry album, be satisfied with December Underground and Crash Love...because, in comparison, it's some of the last real fucking music left.

  • @JOEYissoJOEY That's total bullshit. There's plenty of real music out there - you just have to go further than TV and the radio to get to it. Sick Of It All have just released a new album and they've been going for nearly 25 years now. They're wiping the floor with bands half their age (AFI included).

  • Enough of the shit talking over what albums better. Sit back and enjoy the fucking music.

  • I saw them a few days ago. They opened with Medicate. It was amazing!!

  • damn this album is so great davey is an amazing singer hell the whole band is great such talent there new stuff is just to polished sounding to me this has a rawness to it

  • i agree with you i dont know why ppl think SING THE SORROW is so great even Decemberunderground is beter

  • 1.Black Sails

    2.Sing The Sorrow

    3.Crash Love

    4.Decemberunderground

    5.Art of Drowning

    6.Shut Your mouth

    7.Very Proud of Ya

    8.Answer That

    disagree with me if you like but understand one thing; AFI DID NOT SELL OUT. Davey and Jade wanted to take the band in a new direction. Their punk stuff was amazing, sure, but their newer, darker, kind of music is good. It has a very unique sound and honestly, the lyrics are much less childish. That's what they did. They didn't sell out. They grew up.

  • @vgmikelink Well said! I agree completely!!!

  • @ vgmikelink. they didn't sell out, but they did change their music genre and Very Proud of Ya is an amazing album all the way through. Decemberunderground gets boring by track 7. Crash Love is forgettable at track 5.

  • -___-

  • am i the only one that can kinda hear Dexter on this track?

  • he did backing vocals for them a few times while they were with Nitro, which if I remember right, is his record label.

  • Mhm.

  • near the end yelling GO!!GO!! i heard him

  • I wish I never got rid of this CD. I'm going to rebuy it lol

  • Sadly... i can't find this CD ANYWHERE!

    All I see are Decemberunderground and Crash love... I didn't even buy crash love and I don't plan too.

  • @Dustin795 I agree I'm a fan of their old stuff and that's it

  • v-v-v-vinyl.  so mch better sounding.

  • Very Proud of Ya is without the best album IMO but Crash Love is pretty good. Better than Decemeberunderground on a whole.

  • @Rok2Slayr Your Jokeing right? Your saying Very proud of ya is there best album? are you on crack? I cant take you seriously you dident include sing the sorrow in that list. That By far is there best album. December underground is 10 times better then crash love. Crash love is like listning to a stoner rock band like Three doors down with a little more style. Its depressing afi Made it even.

  • Sing the Sorrow is shitty. you're a fucking moron.

  • I saw it at Best Buy in 2008. lol.

  • thanks for posting this

    truly this AFI in thier peak and prime

  • THIS SONG WILL LIVE FOREVER

  • again.. the band is not clinging onto their past.. so wth are you? EVERYONE CHANGES w/ AGE

  • fucking awsome song

  • FUCK U GUYZ

    their ep tops all

    Dork

  • 1.Art of Drowning

    2.black sails

    3.sing the sorrow

    4.shut your mouth

    5.decemberunderground

    6.very proud of ya

    7.crash love

    8.answer that...

    disagree, see if i give a damn

  • answer that = 1. everything else is fine.

    but i simply respect answer that because its how they started

  • i disagree bitch

  • of course u do

    cause ur that idiot who i blocked

    u must be lonely

    ur desperate to start a fight over the internet

  • YOU LIKED CRASH LOVE BETTER THAN ANSWER THAT?????? wow

  • a little bit yeah

    so sue me

  • XD it's just i didn't like crash love and answer that would totally pwn crash love XD im not saying you're a fuck head like some ppl would cause no one's the same

  • all of you are all prob 15 16 years im 26 i saw the live when all hallows ep came out when the were still punk the sold the fuck out and now they suck its not the same band in any way the old stuff was the only stuf the new shit is shit dumb ass little kids

  • yupp true that !

  • well im 17 and i grew up with my brother who is 25 so all's i listten to was the pynk and im vary dissapointed in them

  • If you're so much older and mature, maybe you could learn to spell properly.

    Then maybe us "dumb ass little kids" could take you seriously.

  • goes like this (short form names)

    1.Black sails

    2. Shut Your Mouth

    3.Art Of Drowning

    4. Answer That & Sing The Sorrow (tied)

    5. Very Proud of yah

    6. DU & Crash love (tied)

    (all their old E.p's are tied in with answer that and art of drowning, they may not be the best but i love them )

    art of drowning is an album that EVERYONE likes it's as simple as that i haven't met someone who doesn't like it

  • I love them all, but if I HAD to put them in order:

    1)Art of Drowning

    2)Sing the Sorrow

    3)Answer that...

    4)Black Sails

    5)Crash Love

    6)DU

    7)Very Proud of Ya

    8)Shut Your Mouth...

    I only put these two last because I haven't had the chance to hear any songs off of them since my mp3 was stolen. humph, I was excited too!

  • Please do not put Crash Love or DU first....

    1. Black Sails

    2. Shut your mouth

    3. Art of Drowning

    4. Answer that

    5. Very Proud

    6. Sing the Sorrow

    7. Crash love

    8. DU

  • Are we ranking the albums, here? If so..

    Black sails reigns. It's such a tight album in every way. Davey's vocals were top notch. Sing the sorrow would actually be tied with shut your mouth.. They grew up on that album significantly. The instrumentals are very dynamic compared to their older albums. Also, Crash love - The songs are good.. but are missing something.

    1Black Sails

    2Shut your mouth

    3.Sing the Sorrow

    4.Art of Drowning

    5.Crash Love

    6.DecemberUnderground

    7.Answer that

    8.Very Proud

  • I can see why people like this album more than some of their new stuff. Davey's vocals are more original and the music is less mainstream.

    The only problem is that some of their old stuff is that it emits a "cheesiness" factor," heard mostly in the backing vocals.

    1. Crash Love

    2. Sing the Sorrow

    3. Decemberunderground / Black Sails

    4. The Art of Drowning

    5. Shut your Mouth

    6. Very Proud

    7. Answer that

    You're not stupid if you disagree with me. Don't take it personally.

  • lmao cheesiness XD and are you saying that crash love is their best album? cause if you are then i strongly disagree DU or CL would be fighting for last preferable CL

  • you're an idiot. Shut your mouth and open your eyes is the least mainstream lyrics and album I've ever bought.

  • Are you fucking kidding me? You think their OLDER stuff is cheesy? Get off the glue, buddy. Have you heard love like winter?

    Their old stuff is agro-radness. It's not cheesy at all.

    (By the way, before you attack me for not liking the new stuff, I love everything they've ever released. Huge fan of their newer stuff as well as old.)

  • UnitedWeDivide must be one of those newer fan girls that only like afi cause they're "cute" art of drowning shut your mouth and open your eyes and black sails in the sunset were there best in my opinion greatest lyrics i ever heard

  • I understand why everybody's pissed at me - maybe I was being an asshole - but seriously, "fan girl"?

    Let's be civil.

  • Comment removed

  • @UnitedWeDivide how are the backing vocals cheesy, cant find many punk bands that dont excessively use backing vocals. u obviously have bad taste in music

  • no body cares which is your favorite album your little 16 yr olds who probherdof this band in the late 2000s fucking liuttle posers

  • and december underground would be last

  • answer that , good if u like punk , very proud , good if u likee punk, shut ur mouth. good if u like hardcore, black sails good if u like hardcore, art of drowning, great album, sing the sorrow, best afi album musicly and vocally, decemberunderground good if u like i have no idea, crash love, 4th best afi album.. my order of afi albums from greatest to least......Sing the Sorrow, The Art Of Drowning, Crash Love, Black Sails, Shut Your Mouth, Answer that, Very proud of ya

  • In my opinion, it'd be:

    1. Crash Love

    2. Black Sails

    3. Art of Drowning

    4. Sing the Sorrow

    5. Shut Your Mouth

    6. Very Proud

    7. Answer That

    8. Decemberundergound.

    Harsh rating to DU, I know. But I'm just not feeling it. I only like 3-4 songs from it.

  • crash love sucks

    1. Black Sails In The Sunset

    2. Sing The Sorrow

    3. The Art Of Drowning

    4.Shut Your Mouth...

    5.Very Proud Of Ya

    6. Decemberunderground

    7. Answer That...

    8. Crash Love

  • The fuck it does.

  • Good album

  • AFI for god sake play like this again!!

    much better than the emoish stuff

  • i second that..Best fucking album ever..

  • kickass

  • this is my favorite song from them

  • i honestly used to not like this album that much and now its my favorite AFI album, idk it just grew on me, and my personal opinion is that this is their best stuff right here, give it another chance

  • The style present on Art of Drowning is very similar to Black Sails. The only difference is the differing themes i.e. Black Sails being a little more upbeat than the despair heard on the Art of Drowning. Other than that, they're very close stylistically.

  • fag.

  • i cant help but feel look to my species and treble to think that god is just.........god!!! davey havok u will always be in my heart no homo but for what uve left behind

  • i like playing this after ''strength through wounding'' it fits in my mind

  • This one of their most succesfull songs :)

  • I lurve this song. Black Sails is tied for favorite with Sing the Sorrow.

    This is one of the songs I really want to see live someday so I can shout "AND IN THE DISTANCE THERE'S A GETHERING THAT NO LONGER SEEMS SO FAR AWAY!" with everyone else. And then I'll start sobbing.

  • I saw them play this just after sing the sorrow had come out, it was IMMENSE!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Its not his fault. In one of the interviews the band addmit that they have 'grown up' as there old stuff was fast and agressive. Im a12 girl and i have only heard there new stuff. but there old stuff kicks ass!

  • it wasn't jade's fault, the band decided they were bored of writing the same music over and over, after all there was 4 albums of the same stuff, as Davey himself said in the KROQ interview in 2008 he said they were simply bored of playing the same music. Now they change and try whatever the fuck they feel like. So don't give me that bullshit.

  • Comment removed

  • Totaly agree with that one buddy!

  • lol i remeber back years way back listening to this song and my dad says "holy shit. i never knew they were speaking english. what the hell are they saying?"

  • ya its like the only not gay one too

  • i love this song! black sails is my fav cd by afi

  • Norrit, really? It says Black Sails in the Sunset across the screen throughout the whole video. Take a hint. No offense. :)

  • it's not on all hallows at all. but its an ill song. if you like this go listen to danzig's mother, or danzig's devil's plaything. I'm pretty sure devil's plaything is where afi took their name from but i havent checked if the dates match up yet. idk... listen to danzig if you like afi. it's where this feeling you get that we don't know how to explain orriginated. (misfits actually but its more so present in danzig (they have the same singer he just didnt like the misfits so he left em))

  • Yea, I have to agree with you about liking Danzig if you like this. I wasn't impressed with the two songs you mentioned, though. I like the more dark and hard songs they made as well as songs like Cold Cold Rain.

  • wow...it's been a while since i've heard this song. brings me back to the old AFI days. they're still pretty good now, but they will never be as good as they usedto be..sadly

  • nice screen name

  • Thank you. It's one of my favorite of their albums. :)
