Songs in the Album Sing the Sorrow
Detailed information about album Sing the Sorrow
Special limited edition[edit] A special limited edition was released that included the short film Clandestine on DVD,[15] directed by Norwood Cheek.[citation needed] It also contained a 60-page booklet featuring extensive artwork and lyrics as well.[13] The film is eight minutes in length and stars all four band members.[citation needed] The film contains references to imagery and concepts from the album. The film focuses on the four band members trying to obtain a mysterious box which bears resemblance to the Sing the Sorrow album cover. The film features two playable soundtracks, one by bassist Hunter Burgan and the other by guitarist Jade Puget.[citation needed] Only 20,000 copies were pressed. Reception[edit] Professional ratingsAggregate scoresSourceRatingMetacritic81/100[16]Review scoresSourceRatingAllMusic[7]Alternative Press5/5[17]Blender[18]Entertainment WeeklyD[19]Los Angeles Times[20]Q[21]Rolling Stone[22]The Rolling Stone Album Guide[23]Slant Magazine[10]SpinB+[24] Sing the Sorrow was met with critical acclaim upon release. The review aggregator Metacritic scored the album an 81 out of 100, based on 11 reviews, with the mention of "universal acclaim".[16] E! Online called it a "well-crafted mix of hardcore bluster, determined melody and anthemic grandness that boasts depth and texture rarely heard from the Warped Tour ilk."[16] Alternative Press awarded the album a perfect score, saying that, "Sing the Sorrow soars with the kind of melodies hit singles are made of, yet it somehow persists with AFI's esoteric darkness."[16] Allmusic awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars and wrote: "Emerging in early 2003 with Sing the Sorrow, it's clear the molting process AFI began with Black Sails in Sunset is complete," and concluded that, "Whatever factions of the band's longterm fans might think of their major-label affiliation, Sing the Sorrow represents a coalescing of the band's sound."[7] Rolling Stone awarded the album a 4 out of 5, claiming that "Sing the Sorrow is not exactly a concept album, but it does have a singleness of dark purpose that builds in momentum as the disc progresses."[16] The New York Times rated Sing the Sorrow as the tenth-best album of 2003.[25] Conversely, Entertainment Weekly gave the album a 'D', commenting that "The songs combine the most pretentious and overworked elements of their influences."[16] The album ranked number 77 in the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's List of the 100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time. The album's lead single, "Girl's Not Grey", received a 2003 VMA for the 'Best MTV2 Music Video' category.[26] Alternative Press ranked "Girl's Not Grey" at number 63 on their list of the best 100 singles from the 2000s.[27] Singles[edit] Three singles, each with an accompanying music video, were released from Sing the Sorrow: "Girl's Not Grey", "The Leaving Song Pt. II," and "Silver and Cold." "Girl's Not Grey" was the highest-charting single, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart,[28] No. 33 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart. The second single, "The Leaving Song Pt. II" charted at No. 16 on the Alternative Songs chart,[28] No. 31 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, No. 27 in Australia, and No. 43 in the UK. The third and final single, "Silver and Cold" reached No. 7 on the Alternative Songs chart[28] and No. 39 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

"Reivers' Music" is featured on the DVD of the special limited edition album and the "Girl's Not Grey" single, as well as the 336 EP (2002), on which it backs the demo version of "Now the World".[33] Demo versions of "Synesthesia", "This Celluloid Dream", "The Great Disappointment", "Paper Airplanes (makeshift wings)", "...But Home is Nowhere", "The Leaving Song", and "Now the World" can be found as b-sides on the album's single releases. "Rabbits are Roadkill on Rt. 37" was released on the MySpace Records: Volume 1 compilation[34] in November 2005 and as a bonus track on the UK and Australian editions of Decemberunderground (2006).[35] "Carcinogen Crush"[b] was recorded during the Sing the Sorrow sessions, but the band felt that it did not fit the album. It was later re-recorded during the Decemberunderground sessions, but remained unreleased. It was eventually released as a bonus track on the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (2007)[36] and as a digital single on December 4, 2007.[37] It was also featured on the "Medicate" UK vinyl and the Japanese version of Crash Love (2009). The Sing the Sorrow version remains unreleased. "100 Words"[b] was not released until 2009 on the deluxe version of Crash Love.
