Speaking of the record, rather than being presented in a gatefold release, this double album is presented in a slipcase that accommodates both records.

Some record labels do this, but I’m sure most consider the addition of a download code, or CD, to be nothing but a loss leader to encourage the purchase of the record. Regardless, I would much prefer the record labels give consumers the option to download either the MP3, or a higher quality FLAC or ALAC 16/44 copy that matches the quality of CD.

Hence, I think in future I may just give away, via Subjective Sounds, the MP3 download codes to readers.

Truth be told, with my ever increasing use of TIDAL Hi-Fi, the lossy MP3 codes are of little value to me personally, plus I can always do a higher quality needle drop with my Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable. Usually it comes down to licensing agreements, or region specific bonus tracks.

This isn’t necessarily uncommon as I have come across variations in downloaded albums that have been supplied with records in the past. What is bizarre is these songs are not bonus tracks and therefore should have been included in the download. The songs missing are the two final tracks Anxious and The Face Beneath The Waves.

The vinyl edition comes with the standard lossy MP3 download code for the album, although it did not include the complete album. I also couldn’t wait to take the wrapping off this album as I was able to source a reasonably priced vinyl copy of Burials from Sydney’s iconic Red Eye Records. While the band has released the incredible Decemberunderground and Crash Love in the interim years, I wanted to take a look at their latest album, released a decade after Sing The Sorrow, to see just how far the band’s sound had developed. They rock.A couple of weeks ago, I took a look at AFI’s evolving sound with Sing The Sorrow. It's either, 'F*ck those guys,' or 'I f*ckin' love AFI. "People have always either hated us or loved us," guitarist Puget told MTV.com, "And the reactions tend to be pretty extreme on both sides, but the hatred is just as cool because people are actually reacting. 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. 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. But neither the producers nor the band went overboard. And the distorted synth and drum programming on "Silver and Cold" and "Death of Seasons" is a cheeky production trick that isn't very successful when married to the songs' upbeat choruses. It's true that the anthemic backing vocal choruses of material like "Girls Not Grey" and "Bleed Black" make the songs more pop than hardcore or even Havok's beloved goth.

Oscillating between churning verses and intersecting solos and riffs, "The Great Disappointment" is like junior-varsity Fugazi, while the heroic emo chord changes of "This Celluloid Dream" transform Havok's preening wail into a sensitive croon, and single "Girls Not Grey" is a car-radio singalong of pure genius.

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. Emerging in early 2003 with Sing the Sorrow, it's clear the molting process AFI began with Black Sails in Sunset is complete. Work on AFI's major-label bow began in August of 2002 at L.A.'s Cello Studios, with Butch Vig ( Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins) and Jerry Finn ( Green Day, Rancid) at the helm. The backing of DreamWorks meant that AFI could now hire major-league production to tweak what Puget had started. Assuming the role of principal songwriter, Puget wrapped vocalist Davey Havok's gothic tendencies in songs that put a finer point on the aggressive hardcore of AFI's earlier material, and massaged hooks from a morass of crashing rhythm, punk rock riffs, and Havok's opaque lyrics. It is merely the next step on a path that began with 1999's Black Sails in Sunset, the first album to feature guitarist Jade Puget. Sing the Sorrow, their DreamWorks debut, isn't the wholesale departure from AFI's roots that some longtime fans griped about.
