"More people should know about this album! It's experimental jazz meets polyphonic classical song in one song, then monk choir meets a soprano with harps and greek folk guitar in the next, then harmonica and sighs and funky guitar. So sad it's not widely available. Updated in 2025: It's on differe..."  [+]  Reply

"A cracking wee album. Touches of Placebo and Manic Street Preachers. Bits of Muse. It is a poppy indie rock. Couldn't place his accent - but soon discovered Irish connection"  Reply

"I honestly love this album a lot. I picked it up from a CD store when I was a kid cuz I liked Sweetest Girl and Gone til November, and it was a really cool listen.

"A beautiful mix of all the things that make AFI a terrific band. Catchy choruses, vivid imagery, the energising tracks, the mournful ballads. I think Sing the Sorrow is their best, but The Art of Drowning is my favourite."  Reply
