High Praise from AFI

Reading album reviews, I always thought I'd like AFI, but never quite clicked. They do seem to have excellent music taste though -

Maybe time to give them another try.

The one in the middle clearly has the best taste.

But Davey (on the right) is the most dedicated Sisters fan, seeing as he bought one of those Bak-ta-Bak interview picture discs with Eldritch on it.
I had the Guns n Roses one. I remember selling it on, and the palpable disappointment in the record store clerk's voice when he realised that the obscure GnR 12" I was trying to offload was 'just an interview'.

I thought he was deliberately choosing the most obscure records he could find, to up his credibility. I half-expected that huge record box he pulled out to contain a forty-seven volume anthology of The History of Mongolian Open Throat Chanting.

I saw AFI once back in the 90's, when they were still "just" a hardcore band. They were fucking phenomenal. Unreal. But the record was weak compared to the live show; their gothy stuff doesn't do much for me either.
