Intro
Miss Murder. That's all I know for obvious reasons. Sorry Jake you have been absolutely fucking begging me to get into AFI and I'm finally getting around to doing it. Yeah anyway.
Thoughts & Feelings?
This album makes me feel like I'm listening to Bad Religion. Idk man don't ask me to elaborate further.
This album definitely sets the base point for bitchy punk. It's ALMOST emo but definitely not. It's like this album gave the stepping stone and other bands took it way too far. Not a bad thing at all but this is a stepping stone into bitch punk.
This is a punk rock album and every fucking song sounds like a punk rock song. There ya go.
Smash or Pass?
Initiation - Smash. Just an intro song, sounds like the beginning of an Eminem song at first and then explodes into the actual song.
The Lost Souls - SMASH. Holy fucking bass that shit is wild, the guitar sounds fucking awesome. This IS PUNK ROCK BABY. This is the most punk rock shit I've ever fucking heard. Sounds identical to something like Bad Religion. I legit could see the mosh pit for a second- then all of a sudden I'm back to reality. I like the feedback. That's nice.
The Nephilim - Smash. I love the bass, I love the guitar. I'm not crazy into this song but it sounds great. I can't fucking tell the god damn tempo of this song cause they keep fucking changing it for me. Fucking hell boys chill out cause I can never tell wtf is going on. I like when it's the guitar lick going loud that's great.
Ever And A Day - SMASH. I like this song a lot. At first it had me a little nervous but afterwards it picked up pretty good. This is your standard punk rock song that works well. Actually has a lot of elements that I enjoy a lot. The bass is great. This song is 10 years of inspiration for new bands and new albums.
Sacrifice Theory - SMASH. This is fast as fuck boi. BAD RELIGION BABY, is this NOT Bad Religion? Who is this? AFI baby, because holy fuck this is EXACTLY like Bad Religion like literally the fucking same. It's awesome but heavier, the production quality is amazing- so much better than Bad Religion.
Of Greetings And Goodbyes - SMASH. LIKE WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? WOAH BASSSSSS. Wtf???? Woah vocals though... woah guitar thoouugghhh.????? Straight punk rock and it's beautiful.
Smile - SMASH. This is fucking Tony Hawk shit. No fucking way. This is like your fast paced skater punk rock song. It sounds like shit but in an amazing way. This is your punk rock fast fuck you bada bing there ya go. Fast paced punk let's go. SO FUCKING PUNK.
A Story At Three - Smash. This song has me so fucking confused. One second it's playing with some fucking cool ass dissonant chords and shit and then all of a sudden BOOM WE'RE BAD RELIGION AGAIN BABY. WTF??? That's awesome. Yeah great. The second section transitions into a different style and that's pretty cool I enjoy that.
The Days Of The Phoenix - SMASH. A little dissonance which is cool to see. I am not smart enough to put this song against any other song. They all sound like punk rock songs to me and that's great. B minor shit here.
Catch A Hot One - SMASH. It's perfect, what am I supposed to say? Punk rock fuck you eat my ass, shit yourself, whatever whatever. wHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BASS?? Octave guitar is sweet.
Wester - SMASH. Yep. Punk rock.
6 to 8 - SMASH. Woah wtf. This is Foo Fighters? NO It's U2. This is like 4 fucking bands came together and made a song. I'm so confused. It sounds great but like what am I doing here?
The Despair Factor - SMASH. One big dark room baby.
Morningstar - SMASH. Video killed the radio star. WEEEZZEEERRR. Sorry it sounds like weezer right now. IS THIS THE SAME BAND? Hidden track is the true gold medal.
Conclusion
Bad Religion. Suicidal Tenancies. AFI. Descendants. That's your vibe. There ya go enjoy ya fast ass fuck fuck you fuck you, punk rock punk rock punk rock baby this is punk 90's 2000's punk. Enjoy it. Whatever. I'm over it. I love it but I'm over it.
I'm so sorry boys I'm so lazy with this one not because of the album but because this is fucking punk rock. The songs are punk rock there ya go.
