Customer Reviews AFI's turning point. You can even hear a bit of goth in Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (like in the bridge to Salt For Your Wounds). For those of you who think Black Sails In The Sunset was AFI's first turn to dark, goth/horror punk, you're wrong. But half of this EP is dark punk, and the other half sounds like it could've been B-Sides to SYMAOYE. 1. 3 1/2 5/5 This really shows AFI's transition to goth music. 2. Over Exposure 5/5 Sounds like it could've been on Shut Your Mouth. 3. The Hanging Gardens 5/5 My personal favorite. I like it even more than The Cure's version (though The Cure are awesome). 4. Demonomania 4/5 This is pretty good. The Misfits version is faster, and better imo. horrible enough said. i don not reccomend this, afi did a HORRIBLE job of head like a hole, they made it sound like a prep anthem. "Mother, say you'll pray for me!" It is much more original than the All Hallows ep. This is one of the best AFI releases (along with Very Proud of Ya', Art of Drowning, Sing the Sorrow). I also like Davey's screaming better on this release better than on the next two (Black Sails, All Hallows). I'll rate the songs individually. 31/2: 10/10 This song is such a heavy introduction to the ep! It has very good lyrics, and it's a very creative song. The chorus has a really cool sound to it, and an awsome rythem! Overexposure: 10/10 I love this song! It's just as intense as the last one! This song has a really cool rythem change after the second chorus. It makes the song sound alot darker and angrier. I love Davey's vocals at the end. The Hanging Garden (Cure cover):10/10 Awsome song! Even though I love the original song, this version is way more fun to listen to! The drums are heavier, and they do cool stuff with the guitars on it. Demonomania (Misfits cover):10/10 This is such a hyper song! Even though the original version had much better vocals, I think this one is way more intense (AFI always makes such energetic cover-songs). You should definately get this release. It's much more raw and creative than the All Hallows ep! Get as many releases as you can from AFI (exept the Best of the Nitro days album). .
