 Just doesn't do it for me April 20, 2010
Corbin J Mumford (Idaho, USA)
I'm a big AFI fan, but this is my least favorite album. It just doesn't do it for me.
 The BEST AFI album March 4, 2009
B. Carreras (Los Angeles, CA)
I have to admit, Black Sails was the first AFI album I bought, but this was the 2nd. Although Black Sails is good, it can't hold a candle to this one. This is one of the high points of late-90's hardcore (along with, I would say, No For An Answer's You Laugh E.P.). The songs are very well written, well played, aggressive without being cartoonish, and well produced without sounding commercial. It's hard to imagine that less than a decade later they would be playing "Hungry Like a Wolf"-esque songs.
horror-core at its finest September 20, 2007

this album is in my point of view the best early afi album. they perfectly capture the harcore punk sound with a hint of horror punk. My favorite track "coin return" has a psychobilly sounding riff thats blends perfectly with daveys screaming vocals. other great tracks are "three seasons", "let it be broke"(the most agressive afi song ever) and the intro awesome. this album is what i call horror-core, too bad such a good band turned so emo and horrible now. whoooooa
Brutal! June 8, 2007

This album, AFI's 3rd, marked a huge change in the band's direction. Instead of fun skateboard punk, which they perfected in their 2nd album ANSWER THAT AND STAY FASHIONABLE, AFI switched gears and made their music much harder and more serious. SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES rages, roars and rocks like no other AFI album -- Davey Havok screams half the lyrics, giving the songs more impact, and the music is simply brutal. The songs lack the soft, melodramatic goth parts common in the band's subsequent albums, making the hardcore music in SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES even more relentless. The subsequent AFI albums have more breadth and are more radio-friendly, but none can match SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES for its visceral punch. One of the great punk albums.
 Decent for it's genre November 12, 2006

I'm not too familiar with AFI's earlier stuff, the pre-Black Sails stuff. I liked Sing The Sorrow, Art of Drowning, and a few tunes off Decemberunderground. I realize they're fallen into a repetitive, radio-friendly, generic songs trap, but they have a way with melody that made many of their recent tunes awesome, despite being somewhat formulaic. My first impression, as the first track kicked in was this shares the sense of melody and songwriting proficiency with their recent work, but has an extra bit of fire fueling it, and is left a bit unpolished. With the first few tracks you can tell not all of them are going to sound the same, which is great, especially in this genre. It's worth listening to if you like any of AFI's other stuff, but it wont blow anyone's mind.
