It's A Greatest Hits For Better or For Worse
Their sound changed so much from song to song it was hard to tell if it was even the same band, but they always had an anti-authoritarian feel to their music & lyrics. In describing the sound of Sum 41 I'd say it's Blink-182 meets Beastie Boy meets Rage Against The Machine, then all of them get into a fight & the result is strangely original if not inconsistent.

Highlights Include:
Still Waiting
Fat Lip
In Too Deep
Pieces
Underclass Hero
With Me

What's probably most disjointed about the album is not the sound, but the tracklisting, as it bounces from album to album, so it all runs together after awhile, which makes things a bit confusing. One minutes they're angry, the next minute they're bouncing off the walls in rebellion. In terms of song selection, they got the major highlights, but then they reached too far into the bin and pulled out some songs best left in. These tracks could have best been replaced by some alternative versions of their hits, and no, not the lames excuses for "live" tracks at the ends. Sure, the sound quality is different, but where's the crowd?

Anyways, if you want to get to know Sum 41, and you don't own any of the band's previous work, then this will set you up. For fans however, this album provides really nothing, and in fact it shows a bit too much of the bad side of the band. However, the DVD portion is nice. So, it's all the good stuff, then some. But again, a new album should be releasing soon, so did we really need this?

Real Score: 3. 5.


Must have for any real fan!
Love Sum 41 and love this CD/DVD combo!! It's definitely a must-have for any true Sum 41 fan!!.
