Final Totals: Intro/No Reason - 8 Walking Disaster - 6 That's it, everyone! Intro/No Reason has won the Sum 41 championship bracket!!! Thank you again to everyone who has participated these past several weeks. Hopefully we can revive this page sooner than later for another round. If you need another bracket to scratch that bracket itch, consider participating in the Underoath one: Reinventing Your Bracket (Underoath Brackets)
I can accept No Reason winning the bracket although it wouldn't have been one of my first choices. This was fun though. Thanks for running it!
I feel like this played out how I thought it might, only real surprise was Fat Lip not winning All Killer, even though it came back anyway haha.
Now that this is over, I wanted to ask this while discussing Chuck but wanted to save it for after the bracket: If you could create one 6 song EP to introduce someone to Sum 41 for the first time, what would your EP be?
I'd go with something like this (with one song off each album): Fat Lip Over My Head (Better Off Dead) No Reason (I might've picked something different from Chuck, but this did just win the bracket, so I have to give it some respect) Walking Disaster/Speak Of The Devil (either one represents UH pretty well) A Dark Road Out of Hell (this is one song in my head, not three, so I'm using it) Goddamn I'm Dead Again I feel like that's pretty good representation of all their styles over the years and it's pretty singles heavy, so someone might recognize a few of them.
I'd probably go: 1. No Reason 2. We’re All to Blame 3. No Brains 4. Walking Disaster 5. God Damn, I’m Dead Again 6. 88 I know there is a lot of Chuck on here (and zero from my second fav SBM ) but I feel like this would strike a good balance of the punk/metal/melodic sound they do so well. That epic 88 ending would make them come back for more
If I had 7 tracks I would have went Over My Head. such a good song. A Dark Road out of Hell as one song would be epic lol.
I'd probably go with something similar to @danielm123 with one song from each album. All Killer No Filler - Fat Lip (how could it not be this song?) Does This Look Infected? - Still Waiting Chuck - Pieces Underclass Hero - Walking Disaster Screaming Bloody Murder - Screaming Bloody Murder 13 Voices - Fake My Own Death Obviously that's very singles heavy, but I personally think they made smart choices for singles and if it's this person's first time hearing them it's not like they're going to care whether something was a single or not. Pieces isn't my favorite song on Chuck, but I think it shows a bit of a different side of the band. Interesting question @Davjs !
They really did, their singles are so good. I don't there there is a wrong answer to this question haha, soooo many great songs.
Hmmmm, another fun game. What would be the worst possible Sum 41 EP you could make lol 1. What We Are All About 2. Exit Song 3. T.H.T 4. Intro 5. Ma Poubelle 6. A.N.I.C.
Thanks for doing it. It was a lot of fun! Now if only enough people wanted to do a Good Charlotte bracket...
After seeing all the Chevelle love on here, I was thinking about doing one for them after Underoath possibly
