Music reviews of Sing the Sorrow
Music Review: Ha Ha! Ridiculous Reviews!!
Rating: 5 Stars
It's really pathetic how many followers are out there. "I'm such an AFI fan! Davey is God!" Non of you really seem to understand them at all. And for you kids who think you're punk; Black Sails is no more or less punk than Sing the Sorrow. Do you know why? AFI was never a punk band, and never claimed to be a punk band! They had punk INFLUENCES, like The Misfits, or Filth. I have to say that this is by far my favorite AFI record. I havn't heard any new albums this original. Every song is flawless and I love the song writing quality. I would call this album "poppy" if it actually resembled the pop music out in the world today, which it doesn't. Most of the pop music out there is trying to bring back the 60's and 70's and has no dynamic, or catch to it at all. The fact that this music is catchy and has an almost familiar sound to it actually seperates it from pop-music. The fact that a song sounds familiar doesn't mean that you've heard it before. It just means that it has a catch to it, and was written in a theatrical manner (like music from an old movie). Why does everybody think Davey is a homosexual? He has never implied that he was in a relationship with a man, or a woman for that manner. I think the "hardcore kids" who are that quick to judge Davey's lifestyle (as if it's their business), have a little secret of their own. Wouldn't you think? Sorry. I got off track. I should just rate the individual songs. I however, have a very different opinion on what songs are best and what songs aren't.
Here they are
Miseria Cantera: 10/10 A perfect introduction.Beautiful vocals(lead & background). The first thing I thought of... ...Terminator 2: Judgment Day! (Bye the way, I'm not under 13. I just didn't want to give out my E-mail, like that other kid. I actually grew up on mostly 90's music. Sigh. The good old days. sorry. Back to the music.)
The Leaving song: Part 2:10/10 In the same key as the first song, so they connect very nicely. I love the build-up on all of these songs. Build up is something that Sing the Sorrow had alot more of than the other albums. Excellent guitar introduction, great chorus, very lovely bridge, good ending.
Bleed Black: 10/10 One of my favorites. Jade's voice is beautiful on the chorus. I also love the acoustic break down. It doesn't sound like most acoustic parts. It changes time-signature, and sounds almost... ...classical! Anyway. Beautiful song.
Silver and Cold: 10/10 I love this song. It's in 3/4 timing (like the bridge on Bleed Black), which AFI never used until this album. I love the guitar parts, but Davey's voice sounded a little raspy on this one. That still doesn't change the great song-writing.
Dancing Through Sunday: 10/10 Wow! This had to be one of the most fun songs on the album! I love Davey's voice on the chorus! It's so clear and beautiful. I think people make a mistake in saying that this song had the best guitar parts on the album. Don't get me wrong. I love the pre-solo, and the solo itself, but AFI has done plenty of guitar solos on their earlier works. Listen to Very Proud of Ya' (the most under-rated AFI record to date), and you'll see what I mean. But the over-all song was great!
Girls Not Grey: 10/10 Very under-rated song! The vocals were superb! This song was perfectly written. The fact that it sounded so catchy and pretty made it seem like AFI was rubbing it in the "hardcore kids" faces. I love it!
Death of Seasons: 9.999/10 Ok. It's a ten. I just think you guys over-rate it too much. It has a perfect chorus, and a great ending. People just say that they like it more because they think that they'll look more hardcore. It is a wonderfull song , though. But one thing still puzzles me. After the "punk" kids heard this song, they freaked out, because it had a short electronic breakout. AFI has already done that before, though. Have any of you heard the intro. to Despair Factor?! How about the bridge for The Last Kiss?! Hypocrites, I tell you!!
The Great Dissapointment: 12/10 Once again, under-rated! This song had beatiful guitar riffs, and a very cool, and constant base-line! The chorus is a beautiful change into... you guessed it! 3/4 timing! I love the backwards guitar effects and the feedback techniques! One of the best songs on the Album.
Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings): 9.999/10 Once again, over-rated! Perfect song. I just don't like how people say it's better than the Great Dissapointment. It's in the same key, you know. It does, however, have some of the best guitar parts on the album. Especially during the verses. I love the singing and the song-writing, too!
This Celluloid Dream: 10/10 I love this song!! The melody sounds so sarcastic! It has great guitar/bass harmony. Davey's voice doesn't sound quite as good, but still beatiful!
The Leaving Song: 25/10 (speachless)!!! I fell in love with this song when I first heard it. The singing is so beautiful. This was by far, the best song that has singing. Also, at the end, you hear the most beautiful, and creative guitar solo ever written!! Bye the way, this song is NOT ACOUSTIC!!!!!! I'm a musician myself. Trust me. I know the difference. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
...but Home is Nowhere: 12/10 This is one of the darkest songs on the album. It is filled with despair. The verses, prechoruses, and chorus, have beautiful vocals. Especially the "To this nature, so unnatural". The bridge is so vicious!! The chord progression that jade used went off of the music scale that the song was in to give it a darker effect. At the end of this song, if you listen carefully, Davey actually hits the highest note ever reached in an AFI song! It gives me chills.
Untitled Hidden Track: 1000/10 Wait about 30 seconds after But Home is Nowhere, and you will hear the most beautiful, artistic, and creative AFI song ever written!!!! Everyone tends to under-rate this song. It's obviously the saddest and most emotional point on the album! Very Haunting!
This Time Imperfect: 12/10 This song is a great way to end the album! It ends in the same key that the album started in. This song is dark, mainly because of the introduction and the very long ending. The overall melody is more positive and happier than the last 3 songs, but it still has a very beautiful sound to it. I love the way it ends, with the backwards guitar riffs and everything! Wow! Very creative.
That about sums up the album. One more thing to all of you guys. Don't say that you hate emo, just so that you can look darker and more hardcore. The term emo is very indeffinate and can be used in many ways. The way I see it. Emo stands for emotional. Most music has some form of emotion in it (anger, happiness, sadness, etc...). So quite trying to look tuff, and be a little more open-minded. Just say that you don't like pop-punk wannabe's (like Story of the Year, MXPX, Antiflag, Hawthorne Hieghts, Fallout Boy,My Chemical Romance, The used, and Rancid. That's right. I said RANCID!! They're not punk. They are a bad remake of the Clash! So that makes them PUNK REVIVALISTS). Also, quit bashing Good Charlotte. From what I've heard of their music, although they're deffinately not punk, they're pretty decent songwriters. Keep your mouth shut until you can write something better!! If you like this album, buy The Art of Drowning, and then the A Fire Inside EP. Those are a couple of my favorites!Very Proud of Ya' rocks too! I'm finally done. I need a life.
Description of Sing the Sorrow
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.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
