AFI - black sails in the sunset LP/CD

  • nitro records. 15824 / 12 tracks / may 1999
  • J (CD): avex. / 13 tracks / ?
  • 300 on purple swirl, 200 on blue vinyl, rest on black.
  • A shift towards darker and more „mature“ material; also the metal influence is a bit stronger. It’s a bit hard to take this seriously, though, when they keep mixing up horror punk with their earlier melodic SoCal skate core, and when the singer goes for a high-pitched hybrid of Glenn Danzig and Dexter Holland. There are some good songs, but overall this is a bit too uneven for me. [6]
  • AFI gehen hier in Richtung eines düsteren und „reiferen“ Sounds, auch der Metal-Einfluss ist etwas stärker. Ich habe allerdings einige Probleme, das ernst zu nehmen, wenn die Musik noch so viel von ihrem früheren melodischen California-Skatecore hat, und der Sänger gleichzeitig nach Glenn Danzig und Dexter Holland (von The Offspring) klingt. Ein paar ordentliche Songs, aber insgesamt eher schwach.
  • Tracks: strength through wounding / porphyria cutanea tarda / exsanguination / malleus maleficarum / narrative of soul against soul / clove smoke catharsis / prayer position / no poetic device / weathered tome / last kiss / at a glance / god called in sick today / midnight sun
