....And Then There Was a Crash....





"Crash Love" the 8th studio album by the Bay Area punk veterans AFI has been released to the World and I must say it came with shock. "Crash Love", unlike its predecessor flows perfectly from song to song and its by far the best mainstream release since 2003's Sing The Sorrow. It truly shows the growth that Ukiah quartet has gone through. While there are a few weak songs on this album, it certainly delivers the best with notable tracks such as; Torch Song, Sacrilege, Okay, I Feel Better Now and Cold Hands to name a few.

Unfortunately, the one problem that is wrong is that fact that it was less guitar driven than I hoped it would be, but nonetheless this is an amazing record and should not be written off by any AFI fan. If you have yet to crash into love (bring on the bad puns!) I suggest you do so without a moments notice.

Stand out tracks:
Cold Hands
Okay, I Feel Better Now


Rating: 7.5/10
