[The Art of Drowning]

also Lightyear, R.I.P brings back memories of Reading 2002 when they somehow smuggled all their equipment into the campsite and played a nice little set right near our tents

was amazing

No-one has mentioned AFI yet either actually.

What's peoples opinions on them? Not the new stuff really but The Art of Drowning, Black Sails stuff...Deserving of their status? They also have some good stuff before that - some of Answer That and Stay Fashionable is great, especially Brownie Bottom Sunday.

The Lightyear campsite set is legendary, so wish I was there or even knew of them when they were around the first time...

I saw them at Leeds in August 2003 before they broke up as they were playing the Concrete Jungle stage at the festival :cool:

the 4 bands in a row that day were Boysetsfire, Poison The Well, Thrice and them :cool:

think they split up about a month after that Leeds gig but we still have the material

AFI's new album is beyond awful, it's just emo rubbish. Dont like their image these days either, such a shame.

Their older stuff was quality, some of it could even be considered hardcore Punk I suppose. One of the best live bands i've ever seen

Have Heart released possibly the best true to Hardcore album last year. Its a must, if only my copy wasnt lost in postal world right now.

I thought their last two albums were aright I've heard the earlier stuff and yup their sound has changed, but stuff like Kill Caustic on the last album is a bit like the earlier stuff :cool:

compared to the earlier stuff, the later ones can't though

I just mean the new album I dont like, Sing The Sorrow is good. having said that Kill Caustic, Endleslly She Said and 1 or 2 more are good.

It's just stuff like Love Like Winter which I really dont like
