SING THE SORROW was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package.
With its major label debut SING THE SORROW, AFI (aka A Fire Inside), has made the leap from being strictly hardcore punk denizens to a more complex outfit dabbling in goth guitar textures and a soaring sound. With Nirvana/Smashing Pumpkins producer Butch Vig and Green Day/Rancid knob-twirler Jerry Finn manning the board, this transition ends up being a smooth one. Swirling synths, disembodied harmonies and the Tool-like bashing of drummer Adam Carson help the foreboding "Miseria Cantare" set a mood closer to Dead Can Dance than the Dead Kennedys. Although "Death of Season" predominantly rides a hardcore vibe, the most obvious indicators that this ain't your older brother's punk rock are "The Leaving Song Pt. II," with its sing-along-chorus and pounding rhythm, the dark Cult-like rocker "Bleed Black," and "This Celluloid Dream," a charged anthem of vulnerability.
Further indications that AFI successfully straddles the worlds of mainstream acceptance and street credibility are radio-friendly songs like "The Leaving Song" and "The Great Disappointment" featuring Jade Puget's melodic riffing and Davey Havok's heartfelt crooning. This Bay Area quartet seals the innovative SING THE SORROW with "Girl's Not Grey," a perfect pop-punk song that rides along on catchy, chanting harmonies and churning guitar.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (3/20/03, p.64) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...SING THE SORROW is a dark planet that refracts various strains of rock, from punk to hardcore to metal to mope rock, and beckons everyone to twist and shout along..."
Spin (4/03, pp.101-2) - "...Retaining nu metal's most-friendly sonic whomp, the band replace the genre's pervasive despair with open-hearted punk uplift....Even this record's darkest moments sound hopeful..."

Sing The Sorrow Music Review
Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All 257 Reviews excellent cd
This cd is more than I was hoping for. I can't stop listening to it. Truthfully, it is different from the older AFI but these guys just keep getting better and better. Congradulations to AFI for putting out another fantastic album!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Still Great After All This Time
I fell in love with AFI after i heard The Leaving Song pt.2 They instantly became my favorite band since i bought this cd and continue to be my fav. Davey has such vivasity and writing capibilities most of us can only dream of. Not only that but he has an amazing voice and Jade is an excelent guitarist. Hunter and Adam are great too. Wouldnt be AFI without them.
Even 7 years after the album has come out i still play the cd from time to time. And of course i still sing them. Always will love AFI.
