Overview Edit

Decemberunderground is the seventh album by American rock band AFI. The album is their first album to debut at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 182,000 units in its first week. The album was released on May 29, 2006, in the United Kingdom, June 6, 2006, in the United States, and June 16, 2006, in Mexico. Regarding the album's title, lead singer Davey Havok said, "Decemberunderground is a time and a place. It is where the cold can huddle together in darkness and isolation." The title itself is found in the lyrics of the track "The Interview." Four singles have been released from the album: "Miss Murder", "Love Like Winter", "The Missing Frame" and "Summer Shudder".

On November 7, 2006, the album was re-released on 6 "icy clear" 7" vinyl discs, with all four band members' pictures and "... a very special guest" being Smith Puget, the band's tour manager, and a poster/lyric sheet.

AFI began touring in support of the album in April 2006. It was noted that Download Fest in October 2007 was the last show in support of Decemberunderground, as Havok and Puget then went on to focus on and promote Blaqk Audio before beginning work on Crash Love.

4 stars Progression Doesn't Necessarily Mean Downfall
When it comes to AFI, I'm very touchy about my opinions. As someone who's been listening to this band for years now, I have to say that even I have had my skepticisms about their transitions through the years. I was one of the fans who initially dismissed "Sing The Sorrow" as the horrid "sellout" album, but with time it eventually grew on me and I realized the true beauty in its nature. And "Decemberunderground" is no different from that album in any respect. Is this the best record they've ever…

2 stars Not their greatest...
I am usually not one to call a band a sell out, or talk about their glory days before they made it big. But I have to admit AFI's second major label album is another let down. As soon as I heard Miss Murder on my XM Radio I knew the band was going once again for the MTV audience. Then came the "Fred Durst like" growl/yell thing Davie did at the end of the song. The rest of the album has its ups and downs but all together if they make a great video it might warrant them a VMA. I just wonder what …
