New AFI album is upon us! This band started long time ago as melodic hardcore punk skate punk band, but evolved with time into something else, combining Misfits influenced punk rock, dark rock and darkened pop topped with superb voice of Davey Havok. New album contains eleven songs and it is punk rock in a very stretched term. New songs rely more on darkened rock and pop than punk rock although there are couple of excursions into harsher punk waters like Escape from Los Angeles being one of my favorites on this record. But, although punk rock is no more with new songs, atmosphere that is unique for this band is still here. Mixture of melancholy, sadness, darkness and hope with death and life is still here. Also, good melodies and vocal lines, harmonies and songs that will make you hum long after the album finished are here. Besides mentioned, other personal favorites are Back From The Flesh and No Eyes. This is logical continuation of last full length.
