 | | Sing the Sorrow is an appropriate title for the album, since AFI does mostly that. | | | However, Sing the Sorrow is still a very good album, and definitely one of their stronger releases. | | | The range of music of and singing really make this a diverse and interesting song, and another good sign of things to come. |

| | Rolling Stone : Sing The Sorrow : Review |
| | Sing the Sorrow is a dark planet that refracts various strains of rock, from punk to hardcore to metal to mope rock, and beckons everyone to twist and shout along as the whole shit house burns. | | | Sing the Sorrow is not exactly a concept album, but it does have a singleness of dark purpose that builds in momentum as the disc progresses. | | | Sing the Sorrow begs to be listened to with lyric sheet in hand, preferably by candlelight. |

| | Sing The Sorrow Review Afi Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com |
| | His singing has very noticeably improved and matured with every album, and with his broad vocal style that can manage anything from hardcore to ballads coupled with the haunting elegance of his lyrics, there is not a single moment on the CD which isn't pure rapture to listen to. | | | Sing the Sorrow was the album that got me into AFI, it may not be a great one to start with, since it doesn't really sound like AFI's old CDs, but it's definitly my favourite one. | | | The newest AFI album "Sing the Sorrow" starts with the intro song "Miseria Cantare - The Beginning", which is a sort of chanting song like "Strenght through wounding", and is very atmospheric. |

| | AFI: Sing The Sorrow (2003): Reviews |
| | Sing the Sorrow is not exactly a concept album, but it does have a singleness of dark purpose that builds in momentum as the disc progresses. | | | Sing The Sorrow soars with the kind of melodies hit singles are made of, yet it somehow persists with AFI's esoteric darkness. | | | Just when the strings, piano, and rainstorm effects threaten to turn Sing the Sorrow into a My Dying Bride album, there is a burst of hardcore like "Dancing Through Sunday" to recall California pioneers of the genre like Dead Kennedys or SST transplants Husker Du. |

| | AFI : Sing the Sorrow - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Just when the strings, piano, and rainstorm effects threaten to turn Sing the Sorrow into a My Dying Bride album, there is a burst of hardcore like "Dancing Through Sunday" to recall California pioneers of the genre like Dead Kennedys or SST transplants Hüsker Dü. | | | Whatever factions of the band's longterm fans might think of their major-label affiliation, Sing the Sorrow represents a coalescing of the band's sound. | | | Vig and Finn kept the band's nucleus of pummeling California hardcore but stretched the songs lengthwise to incorporate greater lyrical introspection for Havok and even more attention to melody than on previous efforts. |

| | InternetEd Reviews: A.F.I.- Sing The Sorrow |
| | Overall, A.F.I.& Sing The Sorrow is a great punk rock hybrid album with lots of melody and consistently solid songwriting throughout. | | | Sing The Sorrow shows its pop/Goth-ish influences immediately on the sparse orchestral punk intro titled “Miseria Cantare” and the ultra-melodic “The Leaving Song Pt. | | | Undoubtedly some people will label A.F.I. as a sellout for their recent musical facelift, but more open-minded fans will find Sing The Sorrow to be a thoroughly enjoyable and well-written album. |

| | AFI - 'Sing the Sorrow' review @ into-obscurity.com[enter the underground] |
| | Naturally, the Butch Vig produced "Sing The Sorrow" has been arguably the most anticipated and controversial AFI album, being the first release on DreamWorks Records (a major label). | | | While it has been a long journey for AFI and their diehard tattoo clad fans, "Sing The Sorrow" is just the begining to a whole new mainstream world for the band, and the drones of people who are now just catching on. | | | AFI's highly anticipated album, "Sing The Sorrow", arrived in stores on March 11, 2003 selling 96,000 copies on the first day and has since gone double platinum. |

| | A.F.I.: Sing the Sorrow Aversion.com Review |
| | Sing the Sorrow isn?t a Goth album, by any means: If you?re searching for dismal and gloomy tracks stick to the Joy Division or Sisters of Mercy, but it?s certainly a darker affair than most fans of spit-polished punk are expecting. | | | Sing the Sorrow picks up right where A.F.I. left off, and defines the band as a survivor of the punk-rock midlife crisis that hits bands after a few years. | | | It?s a fitting image change for the rocker, as with Sing the Sorrow his band bids goodbye to the final remnants of its punk-rock past. |

| | Sing The Sorrow : AFI Thoughts |
| | ....cause their is a 22 track sing the sorrow, and that explains where those tracks they didnt show on it went....so... | | | This are thoughts and outlines of A Fire Inside's album "Sing The Sorrow", which I think was the best album of 2003. | | | It had the cd, the dvd short film, and a 60 page little hardcover book, which was like a big colored version of the cd booklet. |

| | Tower Records - Sing The Sorrow [ECD] - AFI |
| | With its major label debut SING THE SORROW, AFI (aka A Fire Inside), has made the leap from being strictly hardcore punk denizens to a more complex outfit dabbling in goth guitar textures and a soaring sound. | | | This Bay Area quartet seals the innovative SING THE SORROW with "Girl's Not Grey," a perfect pop-punk song that rides along on catchy, chanting harmonies and churning guitar. | | | Rolling Stone (3/20/03, p.64) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...SING THE SORROW is a dark planet that refracts various strains of rock, from punk to hardcore to metal to mope rock, and beckons everyone to twist and shout along..." |

| | While all their albums are brill, Sing the Sorrow sounds the most professional, and if you have heard, or do later hear, their earlier work, you will notice that they have grown up incredibly. | | | This album is is quite gothic, but their first album would most definitely be placed under the pop-punk catagory. | | | Sing the Sorrow is my first AFI album and I will never regret buying it! |

| | LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - AFI: Sing the Sorrow |
| | The sixth LP from bay-area rockers A.F.I. (A Fire Inside), Sing the Sorrow, is the group's first major label release. | | | On Sing the Sorrow, the band spent considerably more time on small details; ironically, this does not result in an album that sounds over-produced. | | | The fans who wanted to hear more of this style on Sing The Sorrow will just have to wait until the remixes or the tribute albums. |

| | Amazon.com: Sing the Sorrow: Music: A.F.I. |
| | I'm a fan of AFI and I've downloaded all of their albums, so I can say that Sing the Sorrow is not punk rock (at all) and is far inferior to AFI's other albums. | | | As for Sing the Sorrow, I'll go over it song by song to prove I actually listened to this disappointment. | | | AFI was never a punk band, and never claimed to be a punk band! |

| | In Music We Trust - AFI: Sing The Sorrow |
| | Marked with eerie intros and forbidding chants, "Sing The Sorrow" possesses the combined effect of pain and perseverance all in one forward motion, where pride and progression maintain an equidistant measure of respect for the other and in the end, everybody wins. | | | Indeed, one of the Bay Area's finest Punk bands arrives about six months out of season for their "sorrowful" new release, which in spite of its dark wanderings, is as much a breeding ground for rejoice and renewal. | | | Individually, AFI lends merit to the idea of allegiance in musicality and in kind, opts to fill little space with artfully prescient subtleties that associate rather than dominate, in unifying a Gothic/Punk/Metal sound that few have capably delivered until now. |

| | A.F.I.: Sing the Sorrow - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Credit the band for sticking to their 10-years-and-counting vision on Sing the Sorrow, an album that illuminates a viable third avenue for modern rock. | | | Given that, it's no surprise to find the producers maintaining the band's established gloomy hardcore/pop aesthetic while stretching the songs longer to create more opportunities to showcase the band's dark lyrics and musicianship. | | | In today's cookie-cutter modern rock radio work, failure to conform to either of these styles often leaves a band on the outside looking in. |

| | Sing the Sorrow (AFI) : The Time Imperfect |
| | Go to the last track (...But home is nowhere) then wait for after the song, a piano starts, and the song The Time Imperfect starts playing. | | | Since it's not listed anywhere but in the lyrics portion of the front CD cover booklet, I guess it counts as another hidden track as well, meaning there are TWO of them on Sing the Sorrow. | | | Home > Music > Albums > Sing the Sorrow (AFI) |

| | Sing the Sorrow, AFI Review - Noisehub.com |
| | This album (although I haven't got around to listening to it all the way through yet...reasons later in the review) is on the whole pretty good. | | | The reason I haven't gotten around to listening to it al yet is that it can get a bit depressing to the verge that you are almost on the verge of ripping your hair out. | | | It has some great riffs, and Davey's singing is superb (although it annoyed me a little till I got used to it...sorry!) |

| | The repetiton of "never never wanted this, always wanted to believe" makes it a haunting and thought provoking song. | | | The Great Disappointment: The beginning sounds like wind over marshes, with trade mark guitar sound building up behind. | | | Davey appears to be truely singing, reminicent of A Perfect Circle in style. |

| | AFI: Sing the Sorrow |
| | The content remains as expected - songs of despair, pain sorrow (obviously), broken hearts, etc. They also have positive songs thrown in with all the sadness. | | | They rock just as hard as any hardcore outfit, their live show is a massive unification of the masses (big sing alongs), and have been sticking it out for over ten years. | | | However, Sing The Sorrow takes a step away from the Misfits that may or may not have influenced them. |

| | Review - A.F.I.: Sing The Sorrow |
| | Weird electronic effects filter in briefly, and the song ends slowed down with a cascade of strings! | | | "Girls No Grey" is the bog radio hit, but for me "Bleed Black" with its super addictive chorus gets me. "Death Of Seasons," a super-fast tune that is probably the closest to their older style, features Havoc screaming in his older hardcore style and then switching to smooth singing on the chorus. |

| | AFI: Sing the Sorrow |
| | Rolling Stone said, "No wonder AFIâs cult-like following of teenage fans (known as the Despair Faction) feel so much at home: Theyâve finally found a safe place to act out their middle-class alienation." Thereâs nothing safe about Sing the Sorrow. | | | The initials AFI stand for A Fire Inside, which must involve some painful inflammation of the soul. | | | Awash in sorrow, the artist compares himself to puzzle pieces that are lost, donât fit or just add up to emptiness ("But Home Is Nowhere"). |
