I'm not sure it'll stick.... But you have to admit the prospect is attractive. maybe we should take a poll.

I'm not really floored by the first listen but it also took "Miss Murder" several listens to grow on me. But like that song it's the other stuff that drew me in the most. I do hear an "Affliction" similarity in the bridge yet I think in this song it sounds more beautiful at that part. Meh. September. Bunches of great releases coming, but more than I can afford. I'll just go get Muse, Thrice & this. I had initially planned to get Pete Yorn/Scarlett Johansson, Jupiter One, Porcupine Tree (which I'll get for sure later) and Brand New, but those will have to wait.

After tons of listens I'm really into this. This song is really similar to Miss Murder I've noticed. Especially with the Bridge leading up to the Chorus again.

Really like this. Prefer it much more than "Miss Murder". Will likely just fall short of "Miss Murder"s achievements though. I predict a peak of #3 on Alternative.

I think I'm the only one on the board who's kind of "meh" on this so far. I guess I'm the opposite of Pen in that I kind of wanted them to veer more into the electronic realm. I love Decemberunderground and CexCells.

I didn't say I didn't like it, I just think that if they're going to make AFI electronic then having Blaqk Audio becomes redundant.

It's a b-side.

Medicate is good but it's not as striking to me as Miss Murder was to me. I'm not really disappointed in any way, I think I'm just realizing how much I really did like the last album. I still expect to fully get in to this album when I get to hear it all at once. I'm also slightly surprised that it seems to be moving slower on the charts than I thought it would. Not sure if it competition or if it's not audience impacting as well as it was thought to. I'm pretty sure after the last couple albums that radio was anticipating AFI as much as the fans.

Believe it or not I actually prefer "Stiff Kittens" by Blaqk Audio over this

I've streamed the album on MySpace twice now, but won't be able to judge it fairly until I have the physical CD and have played it a ton of times.
Is it good? Yes. Is it Top 5 of 2009 good? For me, I don't see why not. Do I like it near as much as their past 3 albums? Not yet. We'll see about that, though...

I'm not sure how I feel about this album yet. I like it, it's definitely got more of a pop stream to it than their previous electronic direction, but I'm not sure if it's as good as the previous albums though.

I think it's a very good album. Maybe not as good as the last few since it has a poppier sound, but it's still the AFI I've accustomed to love over the six years or so. I think "Medicate" was actually a great choice for an opening single. "Sacrilege" is an awesome fast-paced song. There seems to be a clear distinction of what could be singles with their pop-punk/electronic sound like "Veronica Sawyer Smokes", "Darling, I Want To Destroy You," & "Cold Hands."

Early predictions for the album's sales are starting at 60-70k. Kind of low, seeing as how decemberunderground started with 182k.
