COME ON! It's obviously a tribute to their Pink Floyd's The Wall influences!
I got into AFI a bit before Sing The Sorrow, which I bought, because the other cds were too expensive. Their music is cool on it, but the lyrics kinda annoyed me. T'was too much emo-deepness for me. When I feel a little punk comeback in me, I listen to their older stuff, but Sing The Sorrow is going to stay on my shelves for a bit. And I'm so not going to check out Decemberunderground. The name kills all hope for me to like the cd.

Don't disgrace that brilliant record in such a way.

I think I liked "Girl's not grey", but I haven't heard anything else by these guys that I've liked. When any of their recent stuff comes on the radio here at work I generally turn it down or off.
Also: I've never really liked Green Day. Back at Uni a few of my friends were into them, but I couldn't see the appeal. I think I just can't get past the guy's voice. Not sure if it's the nasal whine or the affected half-english accent that I feel is an attempt to seem more old-school british punk (shit, I just realised that I've never heard the dude speak, so maybe that's just his accent?) but when the dude starts singing I want to punch his mouth until he stops.
Please note that I am a girly man whom the singer from Green Day could probably destroy in a fight. This doesn't stop me from feeling like punching him in the mouth, it merely adds one more item to the reasonably long list of things (including the law, distance between us, common decency) stopping me from doing so.

--- Quote from: Caspain ---Ok, I gotta get this off my chest. Green Day has yet to put out a bad album. They got different, they got popular, they got famous, they got *insert here*, but that doesn't change the fact that you all secretly like most the new songs and just want to fit in, thus you bash on them for their new sound.
Thats complete bullshit, because if they didn't change their sound you would be bitching about how they keep "putting out the same stuff."
I want an HONEST opinion on Green Day, not one from people who are scared to say they like something the masses hate.
Change leads to variety, variety is the spice of life, without change, life would be plain.
Grow up

Grow up? Yes, I did, and I guess that's part of the reason why I don't like Green Day a whole lot anymore. Dookie was great, and I still have a copy of it (even though I haven't listened to it in a long time), but it's just stupid fun teenage pop songs. Everything they've done since has been either an inferior facsimilie of Dookie era stuff or an over-ambitious and awkward attempt at being a "serious" band.
How can disliking them now have anything to do with popularity? Dookie sold 10 million!

Dude, have you ever seen a Green Day video? The guy's a twig in eyeliner. You could tear him apart.
