Title: All Killer No Filler
Artist: Sum 41
Rating: 5/5
It's a little corny, but at the same time the best album I have heard in a long time!!!
The Toronto based early 20's group release music with the same attitude as Blink 182, yet with a lot of musical references back to the Judas Priest days - fantastic!!

when i heard it, i thought they were blink 182 clones.. and it's not a good thing to be affiliated with blink 182 in any way.

not at all, blink are more punky, sum 41 are rock, old fashioned rock in some sences and that is very lacking from the industry at the moment since the phonics went soft.

nah Sum 41 are sooooo punk! Its just that everyone has come to expect that punky sound to be So-Cal and now when people hear it outside of it they dont quite recognise it. I'll agree with Chris's point that some of the tunes are heavily old school heavy metal influeneced (pain for pleasure HAD to be a piss take) but the majority of the albumn is pure punk rock.
