Nothing To Do With The Baby....

I'm just here to whine.

Just now I heard 30 second samples for 4 songs from AFI's upcoming album "Crash Love". There aren't words to express my disappointment. I have 7 albums from AFI. I have been in love with this band for over ten years now. Even 2006's "Decemberunderground" wasn't a disappointment to me; but most people hated it. Everyone that likes AFI likes to say that the "true" fans are the ones that embrace the new style that AFI like to take with each new album. Well, I guess I'm not a true fan then. I am not embracing this new album. I think it sounds EXACTLY THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER CRAP-TACULAR, LABEL-MADE/MANUFACTURED music out there. There is nothing distinctly AFI about any of the songs I heard. Yes, they were mostly short clips. However, of the 3 FULL songs I've heard, only one is decent. And decent for AFI is, in my mind, the same as failure.

That's all.

PS In case you were wondering, yes, my world did crash around me for a split second this evening. Amazingly enough, I survived. (But there were tears...)

PPS Liliana and Derek are both doing well. Um, growing and learning and stuff like that.

Peace out homefrys!
