Sum 41 - 13 Voices (October 7, 2016) Album • Page 6

Yeah as much as I like this album, I wouldn't rank 9/10 songs above anything from Infected/Chuck/Underclass/SBM. The exception being Goddamn.

 

hopefully someone with an itunes japan account can buy the two OTHER bonus tracks that exist:

11. "War" (Featuring Taka of One Ok Rock)
16. "Radio Radio" (cover of Elvis Costello's original song)

 

Holy through Happiness could be my favorite thing in their discography. Adding those last two songs really hurt the album as a whole but I wish it got more love.

 

I guess SBM did 15k first week and 52k total so hopefully Dave coming back helps them do better.

 

I don't like SBM very much tbh, but after hearing and enjoying the new album, I'm willing to give that album another shot. I missed Dave on the last two releases and think that a majority of my new-found enjoyment comes from his presence.

 

Id put twisted by design for sure

 

I actually just put together 20 Sum 41 songs to see where I'd stack up any songs on this album, and this is with zero songs from SBM on it, which might not be entirely accurate, I don't know yet. I held off on placing any 13 Voices songs on the list first to see where I landed. I thought I had room for Twisted By Design at least because I was at 19 songs total, until I realized I forgot to include songs off of Half Hour of Power. Now I'm all kinds of conflicted. I thought this would be an easy exercise.

So my top 20 Sum songs are in (no order):
No Reason
We're All To Blame
Angels with Dirty Faces
The Bitter End
Some Say
Open Your Eyes
Welcome to Hell
I'm Not the One
88
Pieces
Still Waiting
No Brains
Mr. Amsterdam
Reason to Believe
Screaming Bloody Murder
Jessica Kill
Holy Image of Lies
Sick of Everyone
Happiness Machine
Count Your Last Blessings

Probably easy to tell what style of Sum 41 songs I like most and which albums are my favorite Goddamn I'm dead again is probably the closed on the new album to making the top, but I don't know what song I'd sub out.

 

oh, and album ranking:

Chuck
SBM
DTLI
13 Voices
All Filler
Underclass
Half Hour

So many people like the sound of the new album but aren't big on SBM which is funny because they are the most similar in sound.

 

Shit, didn't realize this was out. I'm ready to hear Dave's influence in this band again. Does he get a chance to shine on this album?

 

i think 13 voices is maybe a bit more fleshed out than SBM.

 

Exactly my case....13voices just has something what I missing on SBM.yea there is some similar lines with SBM but also lot of things reminds me Chuck and chorus in Fake my own death reminds me DTLI and I can't say this about any song from SBM

 

Yes he does. You can definitely tell he's back

 

Here are my 20 in no particular order. Keep in mind that a few more from 13 voices may be switched in over time.

fat lip
in too deep
handle this
no reason
open your eyes
pieces
subject to change
the hell song
over my head (better off dead)
still waiting
no brains
underclass hero
speak of the devil
with me
best of me
twisted by design
screaming bloody murder
holy image of lies
back where i belong
no apologies

 

Since no one has ranked close to my preference, I'll put mine out there:

All Killer No Filler
DTLI
Chuck
Half Hour of Power
13 Voices (I think, I may revisit Underclass Hero.)
Underclass Hero
SBM

No one has listed All Killer No Filler as their No. 1 album so far. I didn't expect the majority to do it or anything, but I'm surprised I'm the first. I'm not saying the album takes the crown by a landslide or anything, but it's just one of those perfect pop punk albums for me. There really aren't any duds on there, and nearly every song has insanely memorable hooks. It's just one of those albums that can't be replicated because it was a product of its era. I'd put it alongside Allister's Last Stop Suburbia, Zebrahead's MFZB, blink's Enema of the State, MxPx's Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, etc etc. -- not in terms of it being a "classic" or anything. I just find myself always going back to it and never skipping a track. It never lets up from beginning to end. I love that album.

 

AKNF is definitely a perfect pop-punk album, and the first album I ever fell in love with. Chuck and DTLI? are my faves, but AKNF has a special place in my heart. I'm stoked to check out the new album this weekend.

 

Haven't had much time with this yet, but on first listen, I like it more than SBM.

First Ditch Effort, RevRad and this will be on repeat for the next few weeks methinks.

 

Nice! If we get a lot of people to do this, I wonder if Open Your Eyes and No Brains will be on everyone's. Those are two of my favs.

AKNF is a great album, I just tend to like the heavier/fast punk stuff better than the lighter/poppier side even though I love it all from this band.

 

Some random thoughts about the band:
It always seemed to me that Dave was the most metal one in the band. I wonder if losing him is what influenced the sound of Underclass. I feel with that album they tried to go back to the sound of AKNF a lot. SBM sounds like the album that should have come right after Chuck.

I can't explain how happy I was when I first heard Motivation live. My favorite song from them is 88 and the best part of that song is that outro jam they do. I know better than to think they'd play it live so them working in the ending jam into Motivation was amazing and surprisingly fits really well.

Those are my random thoughts.
