AFI - The Art Of Drowning - CD (2000)

Labels: Nitro
Review by: Russell Opie

Wow. So this is one of those semi-mainstream bands that I always saw in the metal/punk section at HMV, but never actually bought. What a wanker. Anyway, enough about how I spend my private time, on with the review – now I would think that everybody who reads Collective has at some point heard this band, probably making this review pointless. But just in case you haven’t I thought I’d knock up a quick little paragraph or two in order to rectify your mistake.

If you like fast paced, melodic hardcore with lots of punk fucking rock influences, shouty vocals and amazing lyrics, please just go and buy this new album. Then start to cry when you realise how knocked out you are, and how you just *have* to check out their entire back catalogue immediately. Ummm, yeah nuff said.
