Advantages: energetic songs, motovational, not heavy, just cool
Disadvantages: cant find any!
I like all sorts of music, but up until the last few months, i looked at the people who walked around with chains or hooded tops with band names on them as a little warped in the head! Then I did the sensible thing, I checked out some new rock, what attracted me to it was actually the songs that featured in "American Pie 2" Before then I'd never really heard much about sum 41, but I checked out the "All Killa No Filla" album and, praise the lord, I have been converted!!! This album is one of the best I have ever heard, and I have listened to a lot of albums over a wide range! This album gives the listener a natural buzz, makes you feel alive, as opposed to most albums, every song on this album has had a lot of work put into it, which is obvious. Another unique thing with this album is that, the music on every song is just as good as the words. One criticism of this album is that the songs arent very long and you dont get a lot for your money. Well thats were the title of the album comes into it, All killa no filla, meaning every song is their very best, there are no second class songs on this album put there just to pad, this I think is great. Surely most people have noticed, you buy an album, there are loads of great songs at the beginning then the quality tails off nearer the end, its dissappointing but a fact. Sum 41s quality lasts throughout the album. They opened my eyes up to modern day rock, and after this album I went out and shopped around, I have found my favourite band through doing this, Greenday, most people have not heard of them, but they are a top American band, they are not heavy metal, just mellow. Rock lives on, and I have just realised it!!

- 09/07/02 Sum41 arent rock, theyre a glorified boyband. short songs are one of the pitfalls of "punk" music (if you could call this and Greenday real punk). I;d advise you check out Idlewild, Jimmy eat world (the older stuff), Cooper Temple Clause, and Hundred reasons, now THATS good rock music. Having said that, if you like Sum and Greenday you might not like them. |
