August 31st. First single from Crash Love, which comes out September 29th. I really hope they continue more in the vein of their newer albums, but I also hope they leave the trance and electronic stuff more for Blaqk Audio and get back to a more Sing The Sorrow vibe. If anything, at least I hope this album is epic.

The clip of the song I'd heard sounds more like a Sing The Sorrow approach. And it kicked ass.
All the same to me; I love Sing The Sorrow, I love Decemberunderground, I love The Art of Drowning, I don't really get anything before that nearly as much, but nobody goes that deeply back to their roots anyway. And I'm sure a newer, unforeseen direction would be well played by them as well.
I do also hope that a purpose remains for Blaqk Audio to continue.

That's somewhat unfair. I knew there was a TBA thread somewhere around here, but I want it known that your thread did not say Medicate until just now.

Ah cheeky. He must be one of Artie Ziff's disciples. As, for AFI, another "Miss Murder" will do just fine for a casual fan such as myself.

Looking forward to this. Their last album did not disappoint. But let's hope this is better than Carcinogen Crush. Which sucked.

I expect whatever their new material sounds like to be awesome. AFI's never disappointed me before and I don't expect them to in the future. That just reminds me, it's been awhile since we heard new stuff from them, but then again it's about the same three year or so gap between "Sing The Sorrow" and "Decemberunderground."

Remind me never to listen to clips again and wait for the whole thing. I listened to the FMQB clip and was underwhelmed. Of course it was only about 15 seconds. The scarier part was that the link went to a pic and website of the band and they looked......normal.

^I was decidedly underwhelmed when I heard a 30-second clip of "The Pretender" back before its release, and I don't think I could have been more wrong about how good the full track actually was.
Not to say that 30-second clips don't give a good impression the majority of the time; I just felt I needed to mention that.

The clip sounds promising to me... but yeah, what Matt said.

Now after hearing this in full, I will say it's much better than just the clip, however still not as crazy immediate as "Miss Murder" was. Then again I'm not sure many songs will ever be quite as immediate as that one was for me as a lead single. That one has really stood out to me as a lead over the past decade.
Still it's going to be on my personal power rotation I'm sure and I'm looking forward to the whole album.

Pretty decent song. I like how it picks up quite a bit towards the end. It doesn't grab my attention as far as a lead single as much as "Girl's Not Grey" or "Miss Murder" but it'll grow on me I'm sure.

Admittedly the chorus is a little lackluster. The song sounds like it belongs somewhere between Sing the Sorrow and Decemberunderground. I love the half-time (or less?) bridge, reminiscent of the one in "Affliction," not to mention Jade's ripping guitar solo in the coda. Plus I love that a lead AFI single clocks in at 4:15.

I just don't like when people get too technical. I know alot of people like that, and I work with people like that, it gets really annoying when you deal with it day after day after day

^And I was only about to put a semicolon after "people like that", until I saw the other four errors and figured correcting them all would go above and beyond being TOO technical. .

I know Nick's just playing around, but in general it usually is foolish, and quite insulting to be technical like that. Whether it's a simple mistake or grammatical error, not everyone is a grammatical genius. Some of us aren't very good writers, and some of us do not possess the greatest vocabulary, and sometimes it just goes too far...
