Music Notes: AFI, December Underground
Tanja received a box of promo CDs from a record label, so I think it will be fun for me to post my aging, Gen X thoughts about this “new music.”
These guys are supposedly really popular and I guess they’re from California, too. Seems to be a hybrid of punk and goth. The songs ocassionally deviate from standard Green Day crunchers, some sounding like the Clash and another (probably my favorite) reminding me of an 80s flashback to The Cure, Asia, and Erasure.
The singer’s voice in general is decent enough, although he sometimes lapses into shouting, screeching, whining, and being bratty so I don’t know how often I’ll be repeat listening. Frankly, I can only take so much being yelled at. So this isn’t the worst new album I’ve heard, but it’s somewhere on the slightly above 50% list.
