The keyword specifies 1995-2009. This stops right before the band’s major shift with Burials (2013). For purists, 2009’s Crash Love was the last album recorded to 2-inch tape (mixed digitally). It represents the end of AFI’s "Classic" catalog. A fixed EAC-FLAC set of this era ensures you have the definitive version of AFI before streaming services ruined dynamic range with their loudness normalization.

Before diving into the music, let’s dissect the technical jargon. The average listener might download a 128kbps MP3 and be satisfied. The discerning collector, however, demands perfection.
Thus, “AFI - Discography -1995-2009- -EAC-FLAC- Fixed” represents the definitive digital archive of the band’s most creative period.
This is the linchpin of the discography. Sing the Sorrow is a textbook example of a dynamically mastered album that suffers greatly from lossy compression.
In 320kbps MP3, the string swells in "...But Home Is Nowhere" become a mushy blur. In FLAC (EAC secure mode), the soundstage opens up. You hear the separation between the cello and the distorted guitar.
Why "Fixed" is mandatory for STS: The original CD included a hidden track ("This Time Imperfect") with a long pre-gap of rain sounds. Many early digital rips cut off the rain or clicked harshly when the track started. A Fixed EAC rip uses a proper cue sheet to retain the 2-minute pregap as a seamless index, preserving the album’s narrative as intended.
