It isn't, and its fans (the adorably named Despair Faction) love the group for it. But no matter, since AFI's relentless verbal gloom is trumped by huge glittering hooks. Miss Murder swaggers by with such confidence that if you block out the lyrics ("Miss Murder can I/ Make beauty stay if I/ Take my life?"), you might convince yourself that lead singer Davey Havok sounds a little happy.
