Title: SING THE SORROW
Street Release Date: 03/11/2003
Domestic
Genre: PUNK
Starting life as the most competent Misfits tribute band to not actually play Misfits songs, San Francisco Bay Area punks A.F.I. have not only discovered how to write their own snarling melodies, but have developed the confidence to play them without a cloak. Sing the Sorrow marks the band's first major-label release and the difference from their indie albums is in the details: songs freely shift gears and tempos, singer Davey Havoc flexes his pristine vocal abilities by breaking into the occasional falsetto, and sugary tracks like "The Leaving Song" and "The Great Disappointment" now take a place next to more standard nuclear-charged mosh-pit fare like "Bleed Black" and "Dancing Through Sunday." Longtime fans might take it like a kick to the head, but this band is clearly moving toward bigger things. --Aidin Vaziri
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A disappointing effort
I'm finally getting around to reviewing this album after having bought it the day it came out. AFI up until this point was showing alot of promise as being one of those bands that was going to stick to their guns and actually bring some integrity back to mainstream music. However, they hooked up with Jerry Finn and Butch Vig, 2 producers who have a notorious reputation for ruining bands or just producing outright crap. The result sounds like a band that listened to Linkin Park and decided to drop ... Read More
Rating:  - This album is already legendary...
I remember when I first heard this album - it was the first time I'd heard AFI before, but this was the first AFI record I ever owned. What more can one really say about it? It's just an absolute masterpiece. This band became legends when they released this album, and Gods when they released Decemberunderground. Both of them are probably the best rock albums that have come out in many years. "Sing The Sorrow" is flawless. Every song is great. One of the greatest albums ever recordeded.
Rating: - AFI Owns!
The greatest AFI album ever with hit songs like Silver and Cold, The Great Disappointment, and This Time Imperfect.
Rating:  - "There are no flowers, no not this time."
AFI has been around for a while. I haven't heard anything they made before this album, but apparently it was different enough to alienate a lot of fans. In any case, I like it. They make quite capable pop punk with catchy choruses, a high voiced vocalist, and pretty normal guitars. It's not exceptional, but it's solid. Why I really like them is the bombast. Just the tone of the album is a little mightier and significant-seeming than most other stuff in the genre, starting with the opening song's war ... Read More
Rating: - Maturity in the Misery
With their rather bold major label debut AFI surprisingly submerged themselves in oceans of dense production and studio polish; ambitiously expanding their sound into the wierd darkly romantic horizon merely hinted at in their previous outings. Yet with all of the overdubs and electronic effects, the band doesn't get lost in the murk as they perform with the same firey intensity that them such an outstanding punk band. The detailed, well thought out album flirts with both mainstream pop and edgy punk ... Read More
