Sum 41 / SBM discussion

[Mitchell]

It might be a good Idea to put the reviews we have so far in the info summary.

- Rock radio consultants came to Deryck's and listened to the album and called it "groundbreaking".
- He said the album is a punk version of the Smashing Pumpkin's Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness mixed with Metallica's Black Album and Does This Look Infected?.
- By far, the best Sum 41 album in his opinion.

These are a few tweets posted by the IR employee.

Listening to new @Sum41 music! Epic!!

@MitchellK41 you are going to LOVE it!!!

Yeap, that's the official word to describe the new @Sum41 music: EPIC!!!!!!!!!

IR tweet(not that reliable, they do anything to make money.

meetings went well. it was an unofficial listening party. for most of them it was the first time they heard the album. they were pretty surprised by it. they only heard 4 songs. the metal heads loved it. still no official release date. you will probably hear around the same time I will

I'm trying to get a date out of cone for the 12 minute song, whether it will work or not is another matter.... I just reminded him that stevo said 'soon' about 4 months ago so we need more than that cos 'soon' can mean anything with the sums All this waiting is horrible, even more so now we know what people have said about it.......

Here's an update I got from Matt:

yeah, I was telling him I finally graduated and said I hope the meetings went well, he said "Meetings did go well. Let's hope they don't fuck it up haha! " they sure as hell better not

and Sam41, I added that video to the summary page, thanks!

let's have a little faith in IR and hope that they will really try to advertise Sum 41 new music :) I will rather begin to believe that my dog is an alien from outer space ...

haha would be so funny if this album is gonna let us all down

..

:'(

I'm trying really hard not to get all hyped for this album like I did with Underclass Hero. The only difference this time around is that there are third parties saying how good the album is and not just Deryck himself. Skumfuk has kept my hopes up. Even though it's not as metal or as heavy as Infected/Chuck I don't really care. I could live without another Bitter End. To me, Skumfuk has an attitude that wasn't in Underclass Hero. Plus, the chorus is catchy as fuck!

All that aside, I'm sure this album will meet expectations. As long as your expectations aren't Does This Look Infected 2.0 or Chuck 2.0.

I think that from what we have heard in the updates it just has to be perfect ! I love every fucking sound there in all of the updates ! and I like Skumfuk too pretty much ...

[SumGeek]

It was two years ago on this month, I believe, when Deryck was on the Absolute Punk forum answering questions. Saying it out loud doesn't seem like it's been that long ago.

Ahh, I was just gonna say that wasn't that long ago, was it?! Wow. They need to do another one of those once SBM is out.

you know what really ticks me off, Yellowcard regrouped, went into the studio, FINSIHED an album, have a title, a release date, and album artwork. All we have from Sum 41 is a title name. Nothing else.

Nice addition to the summary, it is!

Not sure whether this could be considered a good thing or a bad thing, haha.

Yellowcard also played their new song live !

let´s hope that WYATTSY won´t be better than SBM...

and btw Yellowcard studio updates were not full of drunk band members and other people maybe that´s what we should also consider XD

it depends on how much inspiration he had

[Lars]

He probably got an idea in his head, thought of some bridges etc. and worked it out afterwards.

Sometimes it just happens: you see the light, you got the song.

You think you are the only one? Pretty much every active member on TNS wants to know that ;>
