radioactive tomdog Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 it would have made more sense to do a Chuck tour because they already did a 10 year tour for this album. i'll see them do it again because dave will actually be in the band this time. also, deryck refused to play "thanks for nothing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I've never seen them, I'd like to but this isn't the album I'd like to see. It just wasn't very good, in my opinion. To me each album was a handful of great songs mixed with shit. They will always be a greatest hits band to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojangles Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 anyone else seeing the irony of having Steve-O as their backdrop in a Zombie form and he's not even in the band anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 well, it's the album cover. not much they can do about that. his face is also on two other albums covers. it would be weirder if they removed it. my opinion in this band has always been that AKNF through Chuck are awesome but I think people who prefer AKNF over DTLI? probably still listen to pop punk on a daily basis and stick to the same music they liked in middle school. I say this because there really isn't anything unique about AKNF. its in the same category as most early 00s pop punk staples. DTLI? isn't a genre-defying/ground breaking album by any means (the band themselves are a guilty pleasure) but it set them so far apart from every band they were compared to. I remember reading an AOL interview with blink in early 2003 and they were asked how they were going to compete with DTLI?. i recall the album being praised for its production and how drastically different it was for a mainstream pop punk band's sophomore album. They could have easily followed AKNF up with a TOYPAJ like blink did after Enema but they didn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I havent listened to AKNF in so long. I also couldnt tell you what songs are on DTLI vs chuck. I need to listen to it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 In terms of aging from this era, Sum 41 comes across as the worst. Feels like mad cheese and cringe now. The bands I used to think were cheesy, intentionally or not, aged well though, like Bloodhound Gang. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addendum: UH is the only album I really enjoyed all the way through by this band. Sure, there are a few stinkers but the whole thing is catchy and has great hooks and that's what I care about.

Chuck was their last good one. The new stuff is horrible. I loved AKNF. Good times. Gonna listen to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 The production on DTLI? bothers me, it feels very plastic. I like the record no questions asked but it could have been a lot better and like a few other said you have to admire a band that just sold millions of records deciding not doing the same record again and instead actually shaping it up and making something else.

Knapppers Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I listened to it on the way home from work the other day and i didnt realize i like basically all of the songs individually lol. I really like that album. The Hell Song maybe one of my all time favs. Right up there with Makes No Difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to AKNF the other day and thought it held up really well. Surprisingly really great bass lines throughout the album, I never appreciated Cone until recently. Some of the lyrics are pretty teen angsty, like TOYPAJ, but it's still enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 i went to this show last night. it was sold out and they were really good. i honestly don't think i've ever seen them play a bad show. brownsound grabbed all of the attention. my only complaint is they need to stop filling their sets with fucking cover songs. i think they played at least four covers and the drummer did a pointless linkin park solo mashup (why??). they could have easily just played six more of their own songs. @_Kyle_ that's an interesting article and i have reason to question the idea that greig nori "wrote a shit load of songs for the band." yes, it is obvious that his presence was essential to their sound. he even has writing credits on a handful of their songs. when deryck parted ways with him, their music went downhill fast. however, i don't really buy the idea that he wrote full songs for them. he most likely was just a great producer who would suggest ideas while recording if needed and received credit for it. the reason i say this is because demos and new songs show that the core songwriting is clearly coming from the band even without that guy around. all it takes is for some bitterness on his end to suddenly claim full responsibility for their songs. i would really love to it if deryck caught wind of this statement and responded to it. update: there's a longer version of the article here. they now say deryck originally wrote the song but the no warning guy claims to have written "we're all to blame" for them. this is getting confusing because i always thought deryck wrote songs for no warning. http://exclaim.ca/music/article/sum_41s_in_too_deep_was_originally_a_reggae_collab_between_treble_charger_and_snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Yeah I never knew who he was or what his involvement was. Makes sense I stopped liking Sum 41 when he stopped producing them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Brownsound and Cone joined Billy Talent to cover Still Waiting and The Hell Song. This would have been cool to see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
