Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes (Nitro)
by Scott Hefflon
From the more hardcore side of punk rock (meaning they sing only a few notes and bitch about a lot of stuff while you slam your ballcap off), AFI has a surprising number of hooks and harmonies amidst all the shouting and chugging guitars. Some fine moments, similar to Minor Threat, otherwise, Victory records sXe kids oughtta love these guys.
