This was difficult. Also I have a lot of love for the self titled, took all the extra and single tracks and made a damn double album version for my own enjoyment.

I bought that one because I really loved the track Jupiter Crash and was hoping the rest of the album would be at that level. It wasn't. I mean there are a couple of catchy songs on it but nothing to really encourage me to keep exploring their discography.

As for their Greatest Hits CD, in no particular order, the songs I like are Inbetween Days, Just Like Heaven, High, Friday I'm In Love, Mint Car, and my favourite Cut Here. And the songs I don't really like are A Forest, The Walk, Why Can't I Be You, Lullaby & Never Enough. I don't know what that says about me for what kind of music I prefer from this band, but maybe someone can recommend an album of theirs based on these choices?

I'm gonna say your go-to album is Wish. Failing that, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, maybe Head On The Door. Those are the most eclectic ones that have the most "something for everybody". I always tell people Disintegration is the one everyone should listen to first, but it's a bleak album, but in a beautiful way, so it might not be your thing.

Just checked the track list for Wish and we have High, Friday & Elise so I think we may have a winner here for my uninitiated ears. Thank You. Also, I think I did try Disintegration many many years ago but couldn't really get into it. Will try again someday...

I love AFI, this song, and this live cover version..



I was posting in the SP forum earlier, I mentioned That Which Animates The Spirit
Felt I needed to post this as a palate cleanser.

and yes Wish is very mid and Disintegration/Pornography area godly

Wish is great, some of you just need to go in the sun once in a while

I thought nobody would top Blood Incantation, Opeth or Chat Pile for best in 2024, but this Cure album is absolutely far and a way better

[smashingjj]

I like it a lot!
