    Decemberunderground has always been my favorite winter album, and will probably always be my favorite winter album hands down. Listening the the opening strings of The Interview always sends chills down my spine, and the album always takes me to a magical winter wonderland.

    I love hearing back story of making an album with the band members. I first heart "Prelude 12/21" at the end of a Season 6 Smallville episode. I convinced me to check out AFI's music. "Love Like Winter" was the song that officially introduced me to AFI's. It would have been a shame if Miss Murder never made it onto Decemberunderground track list. It isn't my favorite song off Decemberunderground...but it still what put AFI on the music scene map.

    • @rossanaguillen1230
      @rossanaguillen1230 2 роки тому +1

      I knew them thanks to Miss Murder, but when one of my sisters got Decemberunderground I feel in love with "Love like Winter", I was going throo my first depression peack, and that song just got me out of darkness, I've always felt something very special with AFI, they are unique, and you can feel and see the hard work, love and passion they give to their music and lyrics, also how compromised they are all.

    I’ve been into AFI since high school and I saw them for the first time 20 years ago to put it into perspective.
    That being said this album came out the day after I left home for the first time and was such a huge part of my summer.
    There’s still a specific drive I have to listen to this album while taking just to remember that moment.

    I remember looking forward to this album prior to it's release. I bought it, I sat in my room, and I listened to it from start to finish, and I remember feeling a little bit... disappointed. I didn't hate it... but it wasn't what I was expecting. It was the last AFI album I bought, and I haven't listened to anything they made after. To me, Sing The Sorrow is and will always be the band's Magnum Opus.

    What the hell man, Miss Murder is seriously a great fucking song. I love this band's entire dicography front and back so I'm not speaking for notalgia's sake. But I'm always going to be confounded as to why they all think Miss Murder is their worst song. I also get annoyed at how they half-ass it during live shows.

    • @SurferCaliSoca
      @SurferCaliSoca 3 роки тому +1

      Agreed👍 also "Affliction"... I think the bridge to that song from 2:00 to 3:00 (exactly one minute long) is some of the best stuff AFI has ever done, that section is my favorite part of this album and it's delivery by the band and Davey's singing is just epic to me during the bridge. Anyways back on topic, i dig Miss Murder too! And also "The View From Here" (b-side) that Davey mentions is also pretty damn good, it should of definitely been on the album no doubt!
      Decemberunderground is one of my favs, easily in my top 3 AFI albums

  • @weserickson4139

I think this album marked their third style change ,if not fourth. I support the bands I love until they start making shitty radio pop sounding music, which they did. This album had a lot of new wave that i suffered through. Inevitably they went pop, and he just can't hit those highs anymore becuse his vocals cords are shot. Judge away I guess dipshit.

    It's great Miss Murder was the reason they reached success, but it was by far the worst on the album. It doesn't flow with the rest of the album at all, which is an otherwise great underrated AFI album. I cut it out completely when I listen to the album in it's entirety.

      Eh, the hook is good enough for me to listen to it every now and again.

    Not my favorite album or single but still a good. I felt Miss Murder was missing something to it. I found it very ambiguous in meaning. Makes perfect sense why it did. The music save it from being a terrible song.

      Ernie Llerena Sing the Sorrow was a much better album

    Hunter talks way too much. He really needs to shut up and let his other band mates speak.
