This album is a masterpiece!!!! Every single song is perfect from start to finish and having Jerry Finn and Butch Vig produce the album made it even better.
Agreed, this is one of the very few albums that I usually listen to all the way through. It doesn't feel like a collection of different songs, it's more like one long musical story, and This Time Imperfect at the end is an amazing finale.
You can verify this comment is a fact because of how expensive the vinyls are for this album. I’m still trying to find a good copy x.x Changed my life in multiple ways.
I hadn't searched for any AFI reactions in years just due to the fact very few people do them and I happened to come across this one on a whim. I have to say I'm a huge AFI fan and own all their albums, been to concerts, and fell in love with the lyrics first, and then the sound. The two songs you chose were very mainstream tracks, but glad you gave them a chance though. These guys are what drew me out of thinking only country music existed. I will be subscribing!
Great song and band, every once in a while I'll get nostalgic and listen to AFI on loop for like a week. You guys should check out more Periphery, they have a new album. Try out Reptile or Satellites.
“Hot topic background music”🤣 That’s exactly where I bought my first afi cd👍 Also, trust company cd. You should listen to at the drive in, mudvayne, sparta.
Ok mostly positive reviews. This fucking band is amazing! Thru their journey they have evolved n sound like 4-5 different bands, their live show will prove that n their energy live is Great! I know music...seen bands in Germany, Las Vegas, los Angeles Seattle EdM show...Vans!warped tours. Good video guys. AFI are legit🔥🎉🎆💯
For me when i first watched the music video and loving both song and video then i bought the album and just loving how the whole album pieced together so beautifully and there was the begining of my love of the band . Saw them In concert 3 yrs ago for the first time.
The latter half of the last track called "This Time Imperfect" might be an even better showcase. This was AFI's last good album. They started out hardcore in the early 90's (!) then went into emo years down the road (by the 4th album, basically) - playing very much a defining role for that style - and while I heard they actually got harder again after this in some places, most of what I listened to sounded like emo pop and I gave up on them. Still, you gotta realize that this was an established band and this album sounds like it could be a debut. The album prior to this one called "The Art of Drowning" is probably their best. The songs are not as perfectly produced, with a rougher edge. From that album my pick would (again) be the last one, Morningstar.
I used to listen to these guys when they were a hardcore punk band back in the 90s. Saw them a few times. By the millennium they were heading a lot more into this emo era. I stopped listening to them after this album you've had on. Don't mind it though.
@@xSergioRottenx well honestly I listened to them when they were just straight out punk, emo and all the other terms came out when I was too old too keep track of all the labels lol so I might misuse the vernacular of the younger generation. I was already an adult when emo became a thing, in high school there were goths and punks and skaters that were loosely tied together. But as you grow up you don't define music as well as younger people. With age you just find it hard to keep up with newer trends. I mean technically they went from punk to postpunk, but even then there are so many sub genres too.
The Leaving Song was a more creative and the ratings were fair for both song. If I walked into a bar and these guys were playing, I'd watch and support the boys. I don't have a twitter or instagram account, so can't help you there.
AFI is one of those bands where I _know_ their kind of substandard, but I can't help but to jam out when they're on. lmao, the Fashion Square Mall! 😂 If that's the one I think it is in Orlando, it beats me how that thing's still kicking. It's a freaking ghost town in there 😂
We all have music like that; just to put on and enjoy regardless of "quality". I look back at some of the bands I used to listen to and I KNOW they're not amazing by any standard, but I can't help enjoy listening to them every once in a while. And yeah, it is lol. I think there were about 25 people there and 6 open stores last week :D -JP
The only thing I liked about the first tune was the drumming during the break. What's that worth? 1.5, maybe? In the 2nd tune, I liked the groove and it was generally ok. I guess it sounds too much like other stuff I've heard. 2.9 for the 2nd. Go Sumofish!
There's so much music out there. So many tastes and flavors. Once again, this isn't for me. First song, I give a 2.1. The second song a 2.4. The music is played very well. The band is talented. The singer is an opera. I just wanted something else mixed in there. The added element of a keyboard, or more instances of ambiance. I'm a weirdo.
When the one song you know from AFI before this is Miss Murder then you’re off to a bad start..... Miss Murder is honestly probably one of their best songs in the last 10-15 years but that’s not saying much because IMO there is 2 versions of Afi and for some reason they are very different ( although it’s still all the same members ) there is sing the sorrow and everything before it and post sts mostly everything post sts is really bad they just sold out and started making horrible music but then there’s sing the sorrow and everything before it is really quite amazing in highschool which is when sts came out I was obsessed with them sing the sorrow is a masterpiece and everything before it is great like really great and there is like 8-10 albums and eps but then over the last 10-15 years it has dramatically changed and I can’t even listen to it honestly I have seen very little bands that have changed that much and it’s sad but seriously get into everything they made before 2004 and it’s really great ( side note I do love every song on sing the sorrow including girls not grey but that is hands down the weakest song on that album) Btw is your rating system 1-5 or 1-10?
Guys I'm sure you've noticed that all of your reviews which are classic or prog rock get far more views than some of the other stuff. Those are MY genres. I have tried to watch some of your other vids of more contemporary music and really don't like it. If your goal for your channel is views maybe you should do more classic/prog. I know it isn't your favorite genre so maybe you don't want to do that...I give AFI (0.1) Sorry...hate it.
I SUPPORT TRUMP views are cool, but our goal with this channel is to experience music regardless of the watch time or subs. Thanks for watching though!

Ah Jerry Finn. That explains so much ! As a huge blink fan this was one of my favorite albums of the day.

Thanks for watching! We try to get a little of everything since there's so much great music out there we've never discovered. Appreciate it!
@@jpmp1201 I’d like to see a reaction to “Rolling Balls” by AFI. Such an incredible song on a modern topic
Great song and band, every once in a while I'll get nostalgic and listen to AFI on loop for like a week.
You guys should check out more Periphery, they have a new album. Try out Reptile or Satellites.
My favorite band! Hell yeah
Same they are my second favorite and getting higher as I get older. Burials was solid album for me
“Hot topic background music”🤣

Love this song, i seen these guys in melbourne touring with this album, absolutely amazing show, this whole album is epic 🤘
AFI hasn't been my jam for a long, long time, (like since junior high) but Leaving Song Pt. 2 is still a STELLAR song.
First, and another great reaction, keep it up guys!
Thank you Skelton!
So glad someone reacted to tls pt 2 🖤 take me back to my middle school days deff subbing this channel.
Yall keep up the great content
Thanks Lando!
Great record. Check endlessly she said

I love Girl's Not Grey. It may not be sophisticated in some ways, but I haven't heard a song in the 2 decades since it was made that I like more.
I love afi. All the way back to there punk days. Dave has a amazing control of his vocals

damn dude i hear you AFI is so amazing though I could listen to black sails forever and not even care
"This time imperfect" is AFIs magnum opus. Its a criminally underrated masterpiece.
Bon Jovi was my first favorite band AFI was my second I never saw the girls not grey/you give love a bad name similarity
One Of the best bands in the world
I used to listen to these guys when they were a hardcore punk band back in the 90s. Saw them a few times. By the millennium they were heading a lot more into this emo era. I stopped listening to them after this album you've had on. Don't mind it though.
Third season was the first song I ever heard from them, THAT WAS why I loved them growing up.
what is the max rating?
5
When it comes to this album, there is no "max rating".
At A Glance
I was and still am a big fan of AFI since I was teenager, I'm 38 now lol. Emo rock fits them nicely.
There's no such thing as "emo rock", The genre it's called "emotional hardcore (emocore, emo)" and Afi isn't emo.
@@xSergioRottenx well honestly I listened to them when they were just straight out punk, emo and all the other terms came out when I was too old too keep track of all the labels lol so I might misuse the vernacular of the younger generation.

So when are you guys going to get to Dance Gavin Dance? ;)
Do Deception!!
Haha, maybe one day!
Nica here!
I love how they say the song is very simple but cant make anything themselves. A.F.I. is a great band and these two dont know ish.
Man that's a couple oldies right there. I prefer the leaving song over the other song.
Appreciate you watching and commenting as always Jen!
why would you read the lyrics while u listen for the first time
esp for a song like this is makes it worse imo
The Leaving Song was a more creative and the ratings were fair for both song. If I walked into a bar and these guys were playing, I'd watch and support the boys. I don't have a twitter or instagram account, so can't help you there.
Lol, no worries; your support here means a ton to us.
AFI is one of those bands where I _know_ their kind of substandard, but I can't help but to jam out when they're on.

I understand what you mean about wanting something "more". Appreciate it Rosen!
To be fair I personally like The Leaving Song better than The Leaving Song Pt. 2 and Silver and cold better than either of them.
This time imperfect beats everything.
Leaving song part 2 to me is there only great song they have
I bet he is rating a 3.5, so, there's that
Oh fuck, i was wrong
For the second one, 1.5
God dammed
Hahaha! :D
@@jpmp1201 Do you guys would react to some live videos? Like, i think reacting to the live moment gives an extra layer of, interest
