AFI - Sing The Sorrow
(Island)

Released 10/03/03

No.12 in the Best Of 2003 Top 20


Moving onto a major was never going to go down well with AFI's ultra-elitist fanbase, but as it happens it doesn't seem to have done too much harm. Standing defiantly by their sound and image (sound: the Offspring doing the Cure via Motley Crue; image: stocky bloke dressed as Morticia Adams fronting the Skids), they seem to have got away with it. Whether it stands up to the previous two albums is debatable, but in its own right this is a great collection of shouty anthems dressed up in silk cobwebs.
