About this album

Universal Music Ltd. (2009) Released: 28 Sep 2009 12 tracks (43:12)
Crash Love is the eighth studio album by the rock band AFI. Produced by Joe McGrath and Jacknife Lee, it is scheduled for release on September 29, 2009 through Interscope Records.

Following the touring cycle for 2006’s Decemberunderground, AFI spent two years writing and recording their next album while also working on a number of side projects: bassist Hunter Burgan started Hunter Revenge and briefly reunited with his old band The Force, while singer Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget recorded and performed as the electronic act Blaqk Audio. Havok also launched a fashion line while Puget worked on remixing and production for other musical artists. In November 2008 AFI announced that they had finished writing their next album and would be recording it with producer David Bottrill. The following month the band’s official website was redesigned and relaunched, and a contest entitled “Begin Transmission” was announced in which fans were invited to submit homemade videos to be considered for a spot to record backing vocals on the album. Thousands of entries were received and personally reviewed by the band members, and the five winners recorded their parts with the band at Conway Studios in Los Angeles in February 2009.

In January 2009 AFI split with Bottrill in favor of producers Joe McGrath (who had worked with Morrissey, Alkaline Trio, and Blink-182) and Jacknife Lee. However, they continued working on the same songs and did not abandon any of the material that had already been recorded. The album’s title was announced as Crash Love in February 2009, and in July its release date was set as September 29.

    The saddest part is that this album wouldn't be getting as much shit if it wasn't written by AFI. It would probably be praised. This is a fantastic album, but will forever be underrated by people who just won't accept that AFI has changed.

    Not their best album...especially compared with the previous 2 albums, too light for me and the bonus tracks are better than the most of the album tracks!....WTF?

    "You can like this stuff if you want, but calling it a masterpiece or their best is wrong. You don't know what a masterpiece is. If you only knew what went into some of their other albums." If someone thinks this album is a masterpiece, it's simply their own opinion, no one can have a 'wrong' opinion. Also do you know the band personally? Because just by listening to this album i can tell a lot of energy went into it's creation, just like the others. Just because you don't like the change in style doesn't mean it can't be considered one of their best by another fan. AFI just have those unfortunate 'punk' roots so anything they release that deviates from that gets backlash. Everyone claims this is their worst album and asks questions like 'what the hell happened? ... just like they did with 'Sing the Sorrow' and 'decemberunderground' all albums they ended up accepting as years passed.

    Not a bad album, but overall it's too soft.

    Not the best to come after DecemberUnderground. I adore DU. :3 But this one was a definitely a bad album...at least coming from them. I think if it came from another band, it wouldn't be so bad.

    I don't the album is all that bad, though a good number of the songs on this album are largely forgettable. I think Medicate, Beautiful Thieves and Torch Song are the best tracks on there.

    You can like this stuff if you want, but calling it a masterpiece or their best is wrong. You don't know what a masterpiece is. If you only knew what went into some of their other albums.

    REAL WEAK is an understatement. Waste of time. Give AFI 3 years and this is the best they could do?

    Great album. But on the first was not familiar. Again the band changed image.

    I love AFI and I really enjoy all the albums preceding this but this, this album is a train-wreck...wtf were they thinking?!?! I actually felt embarrassed for them the first time I heard it.
