Bodies

AFI

A sleek, neon-lit evolution into post-punk and new wave. Bass-heavy grooves and theatrical crooning replace the band's former hardcore intensity.

It's AFI's '80s dance-goth record and it's way catchier than you'd expect.

A sleek, rhythmic detachment that feels like neon lights reflecting off cold pavement.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The slinky, bass-driven groove of Dulcería that marks a total departure into danceable goth-pop.
The haunting, atmospheric decay of Tied to a Tree as it closes the album in a fog of reverb.
The sudden burst of classic punk energy in Looking Tragic that briefly recalls their earlier aggression.
