   Terrific. Melodic and rockin', a worthy follow-up to Decemberunderground. Davey is in fine voice, and still testing all the different colors that voice will produce. Jade has stopped holding back--the guitars are loud and proud. Shy boys do win. Too Shy to Scrream will burrow it's way into your head like one of those worms from Star Trek III, and force you to dance around the house whether you like it or not. A winner!… Expand

   What a disappointment – with each release the rawness gets polished and the sound gets brighter and more pop-tastic. Gone is the depth of earlier works, replaced by polished shiny surface. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the big problem is the songs just don’t have the quality they should – this is cruelly underlined by some releases of this record that include out-takes from this and earlier albums – it’s no coincidence that the final track, ‘100 Words’ from the Sing the Sorrow sessions is way better than anything that precedes it here.… Expand

   I'm perplexed that people are comparing this to any of AFI’s albums (with the exception to the last one). Crash Love is a real disappointment. All the edge and rawness of the music and DH's vocals have been distilled down to radio-friendly nonsense. The last album hinted that they were veering toward the commercial but it still had some edge - CL has next to nothing going for it. I realize that bands aim to sound fresh with each album but this album will alienate a lot of long-time fans. If you though Miss Murder was one of AFI’s best then this may just appeal to you but it is definitely no Sing the Sorrow!!!… Expand
