AFI's Shut your mouth and open your eyes is a fun album, simple as that. It doesn't possess any songs that really break out of the mold they were using at the time this was released but there are some really strong songs here such as Third Season, A Single Second, Let it Be Broke, and Triple Zero. Sadly it does suffer through some filler issues through its latter half. Still a solid fun album.

Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes is a nice turn towards a more serious AFI. This album shows nice growth from Answer That And Stay Fashionable and Very Proud of Ya and foreshadows the change present with Black Sails In The Sunset. The band moves away from their punk roots slightly, adding in more elements of hardcore. This is the first AFI album featuring their current bassist, Hunter, who brings more interesting bass lines to the music. Davey's lyrics also offer a lot more than the band's previous outings, being much more earnest and displaying much more self-disclosure than in the past. This is an excellent record with great energy and passion.
