This cd is really amazing.I wouldn't say it was their best but it is still good. At first i was like what is this because this isn't really their punk roots. After listening to it for awhile, i was really in to it. For u older AFI fans, give this cd a chance.If your new to AFI, buy it.Then buy their other cd's like The Art of Drowning" and so and so until u have them all.
