Really into this band at the moment. Loved them forever, but right now they're all I'm listening to as well as all of the recent Deryck podcasts, etc. His book was fantastic. Funnily enough, I never really gave 13 Voices and Order In Decline a lot of time, same with SBM. Revisiting everything now and it's all good stuff. SBM still sits at the bottom for me, but it's not without its good songs. Seeing them 2 more times in a few weeks, can't fucking wait.
same here man, been jamming them so much this year, 2024 is really the year of the sums! its awesome seeing them get the well-deserved credit and love. and i agree the book is fantastic, i finished it in 3 sittings, excellent read! my amazon review for it went live the other week :) A thrilling read about a rockstars rise and fall and rise again!
I know stevo said he prefers this over Underclass Hero, but honestly I enjoy both a lot for their own reasons.
I'd say the chorus hits more on Underclass Hero as it contains a pre-chorus that builds to it. I've never been a fan of how Subject To Change directly goes from the verse to the chorus, even if the latter is such an earworm on both songs.
i dig the bridge on subject to change, but my overall song preference would probably go to UH just by a tiny margin. The release of that album holds some good memories, so that certainly plays a part.
i like subject to change musically over UH because it doesn't sound like sum 41 trying to do sum 41 haha but yah made sense to reuse that banger of a chorus!
Fuck me they've cancelled the Brisbane show cause Deryck's got pneumonia. I hope he's ok but fuck me it's a bummer, I don't think they've done an actual headline show down here since like 2012.
This is such a good interview. Never really encountered Dave much outside of his music but he comes across as so down to earth and has some super interesting stories. Sad I had to miss their UK farewell shows but glad I caught them the previous time around.

The hate of Underclass Hero and most of their ballads won't be tolerated! Interesting to hear his thoughts though. He also talks about Deryck's book at the end, and has a nice enough message for all the members.
Good video. He handled the book stuff the same way I would have too. The hatred for UH did upset me....just a little bit haha...but its justified and I get it.
