I definitely use favorites. I’ve never really cared enough for the rating system. I almost use the favorites button as a bookmark for albums and songs I don’t want to lose in the collection.
Hmm, it kind of depends if you want sound like afi, or if you just want some hardcore in general. It’s near impossible to find anything that sounds like AFI and melodic hardcore flirts with metalcore too much sometimes. I like metalcore too, but I also like the distinction.
Hopefully that gets you started. If you’re looking for the new big band it would be Turnstile, but they’re in a mixed bag from the more hardcore fans of hardcore. I personally like them a lot, but they aren’t like that AFI album.
I just discovered them this year and they are awesome! What songs do you recommend by them, and what other groups are similar to this genre of this music that you recommend?
