The Art of Drowning also features AFI's first use of electronic music in the beginning of "The Despair Factor".

The Art of Drowning is a book of poetry by the American Poet Laureate Billy Collins, first published in 1995. John Updike described the collection as "Lovely poems-lovely in a way almost nobody's since Roethke's are. Limpid, gently and consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides. The title poem is the 11th poem in the collection, and it describes a man who reflects on the course of his life while he is drowning.

Punk rawkers AFI exude another powerful disposition on their fifth album, The Art of Drowning. Issued on Dexter Holland's Nitro Records, AFI's quick and haughty, spiraling guitar riffs and crashing percussion make for another mishmash for single-fisted anthems for punk revivalists and enigmatic pop kids raging against the machine. Nothing short of Pennywise, D Generation, and Powerman 5000, AFI is rowdy with their old-school-inspired rants like "Ever and a Day" and "Of Greetings and Goodbyes.

The Art of Drowning was a record that I listened to so much in the early 00’s but it wasn’t a quality album from beginning to end. Like many of the bands during my late-teens AFI fell by the way-side as my taste changed so going back to this album after so long was always going to be an interesting experience. Would a seminal pop-punk record that spoke to a generation hold up in 2016? The short intro Initiation leads into the pacey little number, The Lost Souls which cements the punk sound that made the band so popular. In fact, lyrically this might be one of the most sombre AFI albums with a constant undercurrent of hopelessness about the world. Ever and a Day is proof of that with an ear-pleasing opening riff.
