You should give SBM another shot if you're down. I love that record even if it has two songs that Island was right on not wanting to fund (Time For You To Go and Baby You Don't Wanna Know) that disrupts the flow. Underclass is their worst though hah.
Awesome news for Sum 41. I'm practically drooling thinking of the tours we could get out of the Hopeless stable at this point. Not necessarily convinced it will translate into big sales of the new album, since even bands like NFG and Yellowcard seem to get big tours and small album sales, but it gives them a damn good chance.
Considering All Killer No Filler was the first "rock" album I ever purchased, I am very pleased with this announcement. Now can we have a Sum 41, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Bayside, Taking Back Sunday super tour?!
I know I just think they fall right into the category with all those bands and came up right with Sum41.
Can I point out they haven't written a good song in over a decade without anyone freaking out? Probably not.
A lot of SBM was right up there with Chuck for me, I don't really understand the overall dislike for that album at all I also personally love Underclass Hero but I'm not gonna try to defend that one lol
I can get behind all of this. I love a lot of SBM a lot. I still love a lot of songs from UH too but I'd agree it's their worst since AKNF. Still think With Me is one of the best Sum 41 songs.
It's not really an unreasonable opinion. I'd disagree just because I enjoyed a handful of songs off Underclass Hero (Walking Disaster, Speak of the Devil, March of the Dogs, With Me, King of Contradiction, etc). Nothing really close to their high points on the albums before that though.
UH basically rips off the sounds of Green Day, MCR and a little bit of Blink but that's probably why I love it
Yea. It's almost as if Deryck knew he'd have to push for stronger melodies without Dave's memorable riffs, and the results were mixed, but it was a pretty catchy album at times.
