A.F.I.'s second album features lots of warp-speed hardcore riffing topped with one-note melodies and lyrics dealing with various types of personal disillusionment (sample: "I can't be a part of your modern world"). The California quartet valiantly tries to keep hardcore alive, but doesn't put an individual stamp on the music to make it essential listening. ~ Andy Hinds, All Music Guide
Very Proud of Ya is the second album by rock band AFI. It is the last album in which bassist Geoff Kresge was still a member of the band. Kresge created the cover artwork for the album.
The songs "Two of a Kind" and "Yürf Rendenmein" are re-recordings of tracks from the band's previous album, Answer That and Stay Fashionable.
The title of the song "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" is a reference to the song of the same name by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, but is not a cover. The reference is meant to be ironic, as the AFI song is about hate, rather than love.
The liner notes of the album include a copyright held by "Anthems For Insubordinates", another possible name for which "AFI" is abbreviated.
On iTunes, two songs were misspelled. "Fishbowl" was misspelled "Fishbool" and "Modern Epic" was mistakenly "Modern Epidemic" but those were later corrected.
