Review

The turn of the millennium witnessed AFI's bold stride into a wider musical expanse with the release of "The Art of Drowning" in 2000. This album is often celebrated for its inspired blend of punk, hardcore, and even tinges of gothic and electronic music. It marked a pivotal moment where AFI painted their punk rock canvas with broader strokes, appealing to a diverse audience with their willingness to evolve and push the envelope.

The spirited "Initiation" ignites a journey through "The Art of Drowning," where AFI's alchemy of aggression and introspection ignites throughout. Anthems like "The Lost Souls" and "Days of the Phoenix" pulsate with an adrenaline rush that's become synonymous with their indelible mark on the punk rock genre. Even with mixed reviews from critics and fans, the album resonates as a bold chapter in AFI's ongoing saga, enchanting new fans and reminding the loyal ones of the band's dynamic range and pioneering spirit. - Ashton
