JamesS.Nov 13, 2009That Americans continue to listen to this suburban teen crap reminds me why I never want to go back there. Honestly - America - your latest generation has been raised by marketing execs hiding behind fake entertainment, and now you are paying the price by becoming zombies.

Oct 21, 2013This album like most AFI albums changes to a new sound and genre. They are more pop-rock oriented than previous efforts but have some really catchy and mesmerizing stuff on this album.A well done effort but some songs fill like fillers. 8/10.

JoshHOct 15, 2009Always had a weird thing with AFI, yet, even though I find some of their music just plain crap, they still manage every album to produce something really catchy and attractive to listen to. Even if it may not be the "hit single", it's still a half-decent album. Props to them for being one of the only commercial bands this year to add a flavour of creativity in their music.

TruterR.Sep 30, 2009Exactly what I didn't expect. A totally new sound from AFI. It may have lost that hardcore edge, but this new style isn't that bad at all. Something for everyone. Also the riffs are catchy and the choruses are melodic. I was most impressed by the sound engineering, the songs doesn't get dull on you that you need to press the "skip" button.

JasonSNov 19, 2009If I were younger maybe something I would play all the time. It's listenable but not in the best way for someone over a certain age.

CharlesSNov 3, 2009AFI's reach into influential territories of The Smiths, Bauhaus, etc. and create a their own version of 80's rock.

Mar 12, 2011While Crash Love is stylishly produced and pays tribute to the pop-punk genre more than recent albums, it's sad when the most devoted fans are disappointed by Havok's lackluster in the lyrical content department, as well as the band's overall depth.

Mar 13, 2014the album crash love AFI band and album which emits more sentimental songs and this leaves little umm comic book style, but their beats not fail to match such as letters, Ok I Feel Better Now and bonus Breathing Towers to Heaven, and that in my opinion the best album
Awards & Rankings

Ultimately, AFI have lightened up the band's darkly-sexy vibe on Crash Love and delivered a yearning, perfect pop/rock crush of an album.
-
In no uncertain terms, Crash Love is an accomplishment that raises the bar for them as musicians and writers.
-
With fewer studio effects and electronic twiddles, Crash Love is a simpler rock record than its US number one predecessor "Decemberunderground." If anything, it's better however, and shows that while fusing goth, punk and pop doesn't need to be rocket science, when AFI are involved it's very definitely an artform.
