I have loved every record, until this! I loved the first two, Lies, and even Artwork grew on me. Every song I have listened to off of this is disappoints. It has nothing to do with the whole "not screaming" thing, or the sound changing. I mean, AFI has been my favorite band since Black Sails came out. These songs just sound generic and the lyrics are terrible.

This record sucks all of the dicks.

artwork was a grower, hopefully this will be the same, it took time to really see the great things in their albums

They just aren't what they used to be.

From the sound of these songs it looks like ill be "Moving On" from having any more hope for this band...

Are you the same as you were 11 years ago?

YEP. A legit band.

I never understood the "US".

Is it "United States"? Is it "us" (as in I, you, me we, etc)?

I'm under the impression that their legal name is Beloved(US), for some reason without a space, to separate them from the English Beloved..

That sounds like a compliment to them.

I love [insert any band with more than 3 albums] aren't as good as they used to be comments.

From what I've heard so far, this record is reminiscent of Lies, and I don't mind it at all. I enjoy a lot of these new songs a lot. In Love and Death was my favourite record by The Used, and as much as I love it, I have to listen to each new record (not just by The Used) with open ears to appreciate what the album is by its own merits.

I really hope that pun was intentional.

Everyone just compares it too much to their previous work. Just appreciate it for what it is...which is...I don't know yet

That... is actually not a bad album. It has really exceeded my expectations.
