former pop-punk/alt-goth band write a harrowing sequel to a perfect circle's thirteenth step. here it is on spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/73h2unQGoSEL75TlZVl7Pb

feel like ned would like this, and tentatively feel like djp would kinda dig this, it hits right in that goth-pop muscle

Indeed, I will ponder this.

emo crossover ppl will probably dig this too

good inspirations imo

agreed

Gonna say.

I am halfway through the second song of this, which is further than I've gotten on any previous AFI release

I see why A Perfect Circle would be namechecked here but I feel it's a little too bombastic/conventional to really link to The Thirteenth Step so far? Very little syncopation, the guitars aren't used the same way, little-to-know time signature fuckery so far, and personality-wise the singing is not at the same level.

It's like Green Day covering The Thirteenth Step, which isn't as damning a comment from me as it would be from others.

fyi "The Conductor" is great

wait brad you compared afi to apc?? wow

"Heart Stops" sounds like New Order covered by Blink 182

the idea that this sounds like a tolerable amalgamation of Muse and Coldplay crossed my mind and now I can't shake it and it's lessening my enjoyment of the album ;_;

the thirteenth step comparison occurred to me in the middle of listening to "no resurrection"; i agree it's sort of like if a pop-punk band attempted that depth of mood, and i think it works really well

also i can maybe hear muse but i have no idea where you're hearing the coldplay

maybe he means metallica

Davey's mom on raising him. This is so great:

aw this is so great

revisiting this record right now and jeez it's still great

the new album sucks :(

So far this new new album of theirs is absolutely a late 80s/early 90s "I am obsessed with the initial Bowie reissues and have learned about Bauhaus and love industrial music" album and since that pretty much describes me around that exact same time frame I am rather well disposed towards this.

In fact I'm very well disposed towards this. And it's barely half an hour long, maximum impact in minimal time!

Yeah, this is fantastic! I, erm, would not have predicted an incredible AFI album in 2025!

To the thread, I never came around on Burials, this new one is my favorite since Sing the Sorrow.

Listen to Ned folks!
