Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

AFI

A relentless 28-minute blast of dark, aggressive hardcore. Fast, gritty, and fueled by gang vocals and Davey Havok's most visceral early vocal performance.

It's 28 minutes of pure, dark punk adrenaline that makes you want to run through a brick wall.

A relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the atmospheric spoken intro into the blistering speed of Three Reasons.
The massive, anthemic gang vocal chorus in Third Season that defines the album's communal energy.
The sudden, jarring shift into the frantic, acid-themed aggression of the closing track Triple Zero.
