AFI-The Art Of Drowning *****
The Art Of Drowning may be AFI's very best album, certainly many of the bands fans would agree. Drowning was the bands first album with new guitarist Jade Puget and Hunter on bass. As the original two left to start a new band. This marked new direction for the band. Slightly more commercial and less punk, and slightly more melodic and less hardcore, but that does not mean it is a bad thing as you can tell by the accusation that this may be the bands very best album. The elements of Punk, Hardcore, Melodic, and Commercial are all here all the elements that up to this point made the band great. They had not yet fell in love with techno.
Songs like 'The Lost Souls' 'Ever And A Day' and 'Days Of The Phoenix' are among the bands all time best songs, and contain some of Davey Havoks greatest vocals. The power of his vocals on this album is over welming. Jade Pugets guitar playing is double that of the original player, and brang new life to the bands style and musical ability. 'Catch A Hot One' 'Smile' and 'Sacrafice Theory' are all classic AFI. Many of the songs on the album feature backup vocals from Lars Fredrickson which is became a major voice in the pop punk movement of the 1990s and Nick 13 of Tiger Army who shared a practice pad with Davey Havok when both bands were just starting out.
The Art Of Drowning is an album that fans of both new and old AFI can enjoy but most importantly The Art Of Drowning is and album the true fans of all of AFI's music love and it is truly a great album and one of the truly great punk-ish albums of the 1990's.
The Art of Drowning Poster
You want music that is loud, fast, and heavy? The Art of Drowning delivers on all three fronts. Songs like "Ever and a Day" and "The Days of the Phoenix" sound like a crunchy, no-nonsense cross between the joyful minimalism of the Vandals and heavier hardcore outfits such as Sick of It All and the Cro-Mags. Davey Havok's vocals are impassioned, focused, and undeniably sincere. Newest members Hunter (The Force) and Jade Puget (ex-Redemption 87), meanwhile, contribute to the album's dark intensity. The Art of Drowning is harder than Black Sails in the Sunset (1999), and all the better for it. --Jerry ThackrayThis is the 2000 release from the reigning kings of the East Bay hardcore scene. 15 punk gems including 'Days Of The Phoenix', 'Ever And A Day', 'Catch A Hot One', (hidden track 'Battled') and more. Nitro Records release.
