SUM 41 ALBUM !!!

[Phili]

unless for some reason we need to keep going and it pushes it back further.

It is nice that they're acknowledging that this move is in some ways a bit disappointing as it is pushing back the release.

[Billy41]

Im glad its confirmed now.

I just don't want to wait anymoreeee!!!!

[jaw knee jak]

Is anyone else just a little disapointed by this? I mean dont get me wrong its great their doing an album, means longer tours but I was kinda looking forward to an E.P because they havent done one before. And as said above it means a much later release date!

Spose at least theres the greatest hits to look forward too, but that seems trivial when they could release their best album ever 6 months later.

Well, I'm really not happy with this statement. I mean, I think we all knew for a time its going to be a full-length and now when Deryck confirmed it... well, its great, you know, its great he made it official. On the other hand, what happened to "early 2009"? or 2009 at all? now when he actually says its an album it seems like he's not even sure it'll be out this year and if it will, so who knows when? I mean, hopefully we'll see it in the summer and thats when I expected it before, but with this post again... and it was like that in the other posts by Deryck and Steve or when Cone answered questions on his myspace, it just seems they don't even sure when this would be, making it hard for me to believe it'll be even ready for a summer release, which sucks. I wonder what takes 'em so much... It just sucks to hear this "I think we'll be putting it out this year" posts all the time... or "Sometime this year" and stuff, that sucks.

Early 2009 was for the originally planned EP. That may have only been 5 songs, who knows and perhaps only released digitally (itunes, for example). Obviously switching to a full length album is going to cause a huge delay.

Why would anybody be disappointed with this news? Sure, it's going to be a lot longer wait, but it's definitely worth it. If they released the EP, they would play a very limited tour and most likely head back on a traditional hiatus. It would be years before the next full length album was released. So now we wait an extra 6 months (hopefully not much longer) and we get a world tour along with an entire album. Sure seems worth it to me.

Also keep in mind that a record label has a lot to do with when an album is released. A band does not have the only say as to when an album is released.

Well, everyone knew that they are not making ep.. but yeah what the fuck, they are not even 100% sure that its coming this year, oh my god.

[ReemFTW]

Fuck, I'd want to break something if they said it's coming in Jan 2010.

[Susanne]

Fuck, I'd want to break something if they said it's coming in Jan 2010.

Hahah me too :P It better be coming in 2009.


I'm glad that now I can be completely sure it'll be an album.

[Max]

This is awesome. I hope its good and it's out this year!

[phatass]

Well, I told you it would be an album, I'm not surprised at all.
But hey its good to hear it from the man himself.

[cool kids]

yay! im hoping in 2009 cause it would be nice to have gd and blink in the same year as sum.

[Jeremy Kill]

Even if it doesn't come out this year, at least I have Green Day, Blink-182, Taking Back Sunday, Muse, Good Charlotte, Brand New, Eminem, Sonic Youth and Metric to look forward to.

*cough* HHOP *cough cough*

[spider-man]

yeah HHOP as well as the motivation EP. doesn't have much, but it's still called an EP.

[d4rkst4r]

HHOP is an album, the actual written material is only an EP but they intentionally put the 5 minute silence (or however long it is) just to make it an album. its an album, end of discussion.

[spider-man]

^


I'm not so sure, inside the HHOP booklet in the thank you's it said "this EP is.....blah blah thank you" I actually thought it was an album untill I saw that. and really, silence doesn't make it an album.

[Aaron]

well EPs are usually followed up by albums with the same stuff and none of this is on any other album, and technically anything 30 mins or longer is a full album.

[ReemFTW]

^ Actually, it's 29 minutes, 50 seconds. Does it matter?
Well anyway, I've always thought it was an EP, everyone refers to it as one.

[Dylan]

it's a studio album, but they clearly mark it as an EP. and Summer was on HHOP then rerecorded for AKNF. i would consider it an EP.

[Aaron]

but its all original so why not use it on the Greatest Hits Album.
