    Absolute classic pop punk/rock album. The dramatic highs and lows, great production, and pure energy is above most bands of this genre during its time. If you're a fan of melodic yet dark punk its a must listen.

    This is not only the album that got me into AFI, but is also a great example of a punk album. Well, except for Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings)...but other than that it was very enjoyable.

    Fifteen years on and it's still without doubt one of the best albums I've ever heard.

    Sing The Sorrow soars with the kind of melodies hit singles are made of, yet it somehow persists with AFI's esoteric darkness. [Apr 2003, p.69]

    What's keeping the band from achieving a unique identity are Havok's generic whine and medoicre lyrics. [#15, p.120]
  3. A well-crafted mix of hardcore bluster, determined melody and anthemic grandness that boasts depth and texture rarely heard from the Warped Tour ilk.
