My God...

You know what really depresses me? Most of you up there in the "The Sums" section.

You know things are going downhill when a band can't get some peace from their own fucking fans. The occasional comparison? Fine. But it's not friendly criticsm any more when people are saying "nothing is original", "everything is the same here", "these guys are intentionally ripping off other bands"...

What the hell is wrong with you?

Not only do you make constant comparisons that you seem to have pulled directly out of your asses, something I've come to expect from haters, but you say it again and AGAIN as if we didn't hear you the first time.

You make thread after thread; "This is a blink record", "This is a Green Day record", "This is an MCR record", "This is a Good Charlotte record"... then when a critic DARES to say something that's possibly more kind-hearted and better than what you're saying, you crash down on them.
Fan: 'With Me' is identical to Yellowcard.
Critic: 'With Me' is a bit unoriginal.
Same fan: What the fuck?! I bet he hasn't even listened to it!!!

I am really getting sick of this. I admit there are similarities, but that's not necessarily a bad thing and none of them are carbon copies!

Alternative Press, who gave the album 2 and a half stars, had nicer things to say about the album. The band's own fans, who for the most part claim to love the album, makes all these really random comparisons that the critics probably have never considered.

You guys really go too far and REALLY make me wonder where the hell all the Sum 41 fans have gone.

Yeah, it's true. I mean... occasionally, I think is ok, but when it happens once and again and again, it's just stupid. You're meant to be their fans.

Joking of course^ for you serious people.......

Yeah its abit pathetic, I bet no-one has ever taken the time to see how many bands have actually ripped off Sum 41, which has occured.....And people, if 3 lines of vocals have a similar melody to some pussy MCR song get the fuck over it, deryck wouldnt even listen and consider that shit.

Don't be an ignorant. They could. That you don't listen to 'em doesn't mean they don't either. And no, fans and the band don't have similar likings. Not exactly at least.
