Decemberunderground is a concept album...meaning the whole album makes up a story.
Just like AFI's previous album, the story may not start on Track 1. One popular theory (and my opinion of the album) is the story of an actor (possibly the same actor from Sing the Sorrow), is recieving an interview. He tells of an affair with one of his costars, and, eventually, the interview is over, and I think the interviewer commits suicide afterward. Anyway, the actor eventually goes to the set of his movie, and kills himself onstage.
This is not my theory, rather one that I heard on AFI's forums. I think it's a pretty solid theory, and my description was pretty bare-bones (the original description was much more in-depth, interpreting every little nuance of the songs), but...it's something to think about.
This album is incredibly inspiring. Even though I enjoy earlier, more punk-based AFI material, this album is one of my favorite CDs. Great job guys!
