Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

VINYL FORMAT. Limited edition on colored vinyl! 'In AFI's tertiary record, Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes, the group matures from their youthful light-hearted punk riffs, and grows into dark chord progressions and meaningful lyrics that are pointed enough to relate to any teenager. This being the first major change in AFI's style, it is a rather rough transition. From songs like "Cereal Wars" to "Salt for Your Wounds," the band grows out of the immature style that their first two albums were full of. This is definitely AFI's most hardcore punk album to date. With irate lyrics and pounding three-chord progressions, the band slams through all fourteen tracks on the album with amazing speed and maniacal flailing. Davey Havok (vocals), and Markus Stopholese (guitar) lead the band through the album at a speedy and more sinister pace than ever before. With Hunter (bass) and Adam Carson (drums) backing up these two, this quartet put out some of AFI's most unrefined yet remarkable hardcore punk music, even to this day.' - Epinions.com
