Average Rating: 
Rating:  - horror-core at its finest
this album is in my point of view the best early afi album. they perfectly capture the harcore punk sound with a hint of horror punk. My favorite track "coin return" has a psychobilly sounding riff thats blends perfectly with daveys screaming vocals. other great tracks are "three seasons", "let it be broke"(the most agressive afi song ever) and the intro awesome. this album is what i call horror-core, too bad such a good band turned so emo and horrible now. whoooooa
Rating: - Brutal!
This album, AFI's 3rd, marked a huge change in the band's direction. Instead of fun skateboard punk, which they perfected in their 2nd album ANSWER THAT AND STAY FASHIONABLE, AFI switched gears and made their music much harder and more serious. SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES rages, roars and rocks like no other AFI album -- Davey Havok screams half the lyrics, giving the songs more impact, and the music is simply brutal. The songs lack the soft, melodramatic goth parts common in the band's subsequent ... Read More
Rating:  - Decent for it's genre
I'm not too familiar with AFI's earlier stuff, the pre-Black Sails stuff. I liked Sing The Sorrow, Art of Drowning, and a few tunes off Decemberunderground. I realize they're fallen into a repetitive, radio-friendly, generic songs trap, but they have a way with melody that made many of their recent tunes awesome, despite being somewhat formulaic. My first impression, as the first track kicked in was this shares the sense of melody and songwriting proficiency with their recent work, but has an extra bit of ... Read More
Rating: - Afi's Harshest and Least Polished Work; Rage
Let me let you in on a little secret; all AFI is good. That's right ALL. Another secret; AFI is my favorite band of all time. Why? I'll show you.
'We are the Ones with the radiating eyes. We are the Ones who have a fire inside. We are the Ones only we can recognize. We've been rejected...'
...and that's the opening for this album, which is AFI's third. It's their harshest, angriest, meanest effort to date, and I don't think they will ever go back to this.

Rating:  - Loud, fast, agressive, and pissed off!
My God, I love this CD. I love AFI's punk stuff in general, but this has to be my favorite album by them. It's loud, fast, agressive, and pissed off! Everything a punk rock album should be. The lyrics are also very well written, and they're almost poetic. Not quite. AFI really started getting poetic with 'Black Sails in the Sunset', which is this band's second best. Anyway, the best songs on here would definately be 'Today's Lesson', 'The Devil Loves You', 'pH Low', 'Lower Your Head And Take It In The ... Read More
