"Medicate" is already my favorite AFI song. :) Crash Love doesn't do anything for me, though. Listen again. It's a grower. There's zero filler. My favorite songs keep changing each time I listen to it now. It's extremely tough to pick least favorite songs now. The weird thing is that I think the lyrical content sounds like something that would fit with their generally dark fare even though they've practically abandoned that sound for this album. Yeah, the lyrical content isn't a whole lot different in that regard. Noticeably, this time though, it's finally more outward-looking and less cryptic than in the past. Finally I think I understand what the hell he's singing about in a lot of the songs. ;) I've only heard their major releases. I know I know, I just haven't been interested enough to check out the back catalog. 1. Sing the Sorrow 2. Decemberunderground 3. Crash Love If you really like these three, you oughta go back and at least check out The Art of Drowning and Black Sails in the Sunset (plus the 4-song All Hallows EP that came out 5 months later). It's way more punk and less commercial, but the arty, expansive blueprints are definitely there for what started on Sing the Sorrow.
