TomBJul 6, 2003This is the best punk album ever made. AFI is one of the most clever bands of this generation. This is a must buy for anyone who even remotely likes rock music!

jweezyApr 7, 2003A very good effort for their first big budget album. More intricate songwriting. However, it is a little soft in spots, Hunter's magnificent bass sylings are subdued and it simply needs another big fast song to complete it. Synesthesia should have made it on here from the B-sides. Great, yes, but not as great as Black Sails in the Sunset for pure energy.

-
msApr 9, 2003This is a great album from top to bottom. AFI has matured ten-fold with Sing the Sorrow and Davey's vocals have never sounded better

punkrockMar 20, 2003the lyrics are not as dark as they were. that was was why the fans gravitated toward them, but still something the fans can relate to, kick ass anthems and hopeless yet revealing lyrics

Jean-philippelejuifApr 6, 2003I use to listen to old cd's of afi and they wrere great, but this one is a little diferent, but so much better...
-
-
GLENNDANZIGMay 19, 2003This is an awsome band. They most definately entered my top ten list along with THE MISFITS, DANZIG, SOM, and RAMONES. AFI sing the sorrow is the LP that i believe will bring real punk back to life!!!!!
-
-
AndrewEJun 4, 2003Mediocre and somewhat predictable. It's a decent album, but nothing really stands out. The whole cd just comes out as a pseudo-goth rock facade to draw in new and unaware funs unknowing how to hear true substance in music.

NkotiSep 10, 2003AFI SLAMS!!! Their cd is perfect.
-
-
HaleySep 27, 2003I have loved everything that AFI has made, but this new CD shows that AFI is going to be around for a long time, it bring in some of the new elements of music but still keeps their own sound.

AndreaASep 30, 2003I LOVE this cd I love afi. Their lyrics are so deep.... I have been listenin to this cd non stop evre since i got it, wich was when if first came out. It's something you can never get tired of!!!!! AndreA

-
-
AbelDMar 9, 2007This the magnum opus of AFI. The album is focused on one theme and is shown throughout the whole album. AFI's sound keeps in tune with their dark lyrics and focus, making the whole album weaved tightly together to create a musical trip for all the listeners.
-
-
gkJun 1, 2008This albumn captures all my deepest feelings in a way that is both poetic ans stark simultaneously. But it never gets too overdramatic or careless in its presentation. Despite some sharp negative criticism it is AFI's best album.
-
-
DejaSNov 10, 2003i really love this cd it is one of theirs i can keep on listening to anyway i have loved afi ever since 91 they kick A$$
-
-
MichelleROct 11, 2003I completely agree with the person who noted that anyone who doesn't rate it a 10 should rot in sucky-music hell. [Where they play *NSYNC all day, har.] AFI is definitly my favourite band. With rather haunting and creative lyrics, AFI is the most listened-to band at my school, by listener survey. Guaranteed worth the $17 dollar price at Wal-Mart.

mercyrOct 6, 2003I give this CD a 10 ,Why? you ask if you like all thire other cd's your going to like this and if you never heard of them if i was you i would go buy this cd and tell all of your friends about it this is the cd you want.If not then you don't know what your missing.

-
sambMar 18, 2003this cd blasts harmonic melodies, heavy metal guitar riffs and everything in between. even though most people think they've sold out by signing with dreamworks, they're still rockin more than ever
-
-
neilMar 21, 2003not a bad listen, but doesn't reflect their past albums very well.
-
-
floydcMar 27, 2003This album is the best thing to come out of America ever. Havok's lyrics are inspired, and the melodies ans harmonies go hand in hand with the mastery of the guitar. Undoubtedly the best album in the world since maybe 40 Licks by the Rolling Stones.

-
-
AubreySApr 3, 2003One of the best albums I have heard. The lyrics are completely unique and they show the deeper side of Havok's existence. We all knew it was there but this album just expresses and identifies what is truly inside. The melodies compliment the darkness of the lyrics and it all forms together to be one truly amazing album. I love it!

FatSamSep 24, 2003This has to be the best CD that they have ever put out. They havent forgotten there roots of hardcore and have adapted some really awesome sounds. My favourite since Black Sails In The Sunset.

-
-
BrianS.Aug 18, 2004I love old and new AFI about equally, but to be honest, this really isn't their best album. I enjoyed it, for the most part, but really I only found myself coming back to a few tracks. I'd recommend "The Art of Drowning" or "Answer That and Stay Fashionable" as your first CD, and for long-time fans, I'd recommend picking this up just because it's got some cool stuff on it.

tylernJan 9, 2005perfection is in sight for AFI. Sing the Sorrow is definately up to par with their past works (if not better)

tomsMay 25, 2005the best punk band ever
-
-
GaryAJun 7, 2005What this record shows is that this band has gotten to the point they wanted to in there careers although many have said they sold out my opinion is whats wrong with wanting to be heard after all Blink 182,the Offspring And Green Day etc all did it and i believe progression is good because it's that or fading away
-
-
RyanCDec 7, 2006Who are they? - Califorinain hardcore punk rock band. Any good? - Oh yes. There isn't a true shocker on the album, all listenable. Must hear. - Death Of Seasons is a really shouty, aggressive song, but is one of the highlights of Sing the Sorrow. My personal favourite. For fans of. -

carmenfDec 8, 2006silver and cold, the leaving song part I, dancing trough sunday and synesthesia are completly amazing. This is AFI greatest albumI
-
-
AndrewFMar 7, 2007In a word "brilliant". This Celluloid Dream and Paper Airplanes are personal favourites and were the two songs that got me hooked to AFI's music. December Underground was slightly disappointing but this album is pure genius.

UnknownPersonJun 22, 2008An album full of songs that will leve you wanting for more. The lyrics of these songs are dark and mysterious. Davey H's voice is AWES0ME.
-
-
JamesSApr 27, 2009An intricate album that manages to captivate even the unknown listner through its use of dark and melodic tones that propel the sound exerted from Hunter's, Adam's and Jade's instruments. In terms of Havok's vocal ability, this is definitely his magnum opus in regard to him exerting power. 10/10 in every regard.

-
AndyBApr 16, 2004Catchy, but not predictable, AFI has earned the number one place in my CD changer. I love the lyrics (something sadly lacking from most bands these days) and love the structure of the songs. Talent, soul and a pure vision of the music are all found on Sing The Sorrow.

Mar 6, 2011Sing the Sorrow is not exactly a concept album -- or one of the smartest albums for that matter. However, Havok's lyrics are deliciously dark, glossed with anguished guitars and the band's overall unique sound.
Awards & Rankings
-
Alternative PressSing The Sorrow soars with the kind of melodies hit singles are made of, yet it somehow persists with AFI's esoteric darkness. [Apr 2003, p.69]
-
BlenderWhat's keeping the band from achieving a unique identity are Havok's generic whine and medoicre lyrics. [#15, p.120]
-
A well-crafted mix of hardcore bluster, determined melody and anthemic grandness that boasts depth and texture rarely heard from the Warped Tour ilk.
