Jan 30, 2017Without Davey's screams, you realize how boring AFI can be . Even their best songs like Still a Stranger, Aurilia, or Pink Eyes are still lacking that raw Havok scream. i can't tell you how many chours's would be infinitely better with a 'rawwwwwwwwwr'. Sorry guys, blood album is skippable.

Mar 9, 2017Despite their years of experience, AFI's self-titled effort consists of catchy-melodic choruses and rhythmical performances within a pile of songs which never seem to reach their full potential. A fun, yet ultimately disappointing effort that lacks both energy and effort - it sounds as subtle as its unveiling and release.
Album highlight: Snow Cats -
Apr 3, 2017Do another punk album...just one, for **** sake you, have more fans then those you've garnered since StS... 1 point cause they are still together, and that's the only possibility of it ever happening.

May 16, 2017While showing some surprising signs of creative life in their newest release, the overzealous guitars that blasted through the texture still only make this work good for an angst-filled, early 2000’s loving crowd. My Score: 101/180 (Okay) = 5.6/10

Feb 22, 2017The punk energy remains, frontman Davy Havok’s vocal delivery dripping with drama and passion, but with a glorious, gilded production job from guitarist Jade Puget, AFI (The Blood Album) luxuriates in a velvety richness that makes it a sumptuous listen.

Jan 30, 2017While some of it lacks creativity, expression, and comes off a tad bland, you do get a sense of what could have been, had they just unchained themselves a bit more. Ironically, the songs that stand out the most here are the ones that ape tracks off Sing The Sorrow.

Jan 25, 2017AFI has little in the way of stumbles and no real clunkers to speak of, but a sense of familiarity and repetition creep in before the finish. It’s not enough to tarnish the gems but a greater commitment to ruthlessness would have been welcome.
