i only have deja entendeau from them, but i've heard they're quite transitional.

A lot of popular modern day rock bands were well into their careers before the Sums even formed. Eg. Green Day is 22 years old now; they were putting stuff out in the 80s, and how have they changed in comparison to the Sums? None at all. I guess I just love Deryck's philosophy that no two albums should ever be too similar. He is constantly moving on, exploring new directions while making everything he writes still distinctly Sum 41. That's the mark of true musicianship.

I think the next album will go a step in the style that SBM hinted at - with the influences that prompted SBM to be so dark gone, I think we can expect a real heavy, yet upbeat rock album.
Either that, or Death Metal

It's funny how the music business works. Release an amazing debut album, and it is generally recognized as such by critics and laymen, helps to set a new genre standard, is replayed for years, and assists the band in building a huge fanbase. After that is when things get weird. If the band in question decides not to vary their formula, makes mediocre music that retains many of the elements of their original material, and plays it safe, their fans stick by them and the critics aren't too harsh (see: the response to my review of the new Goo Goo Dolls album). However, if the band realizes that to make a real, long-lasting impact on the world they must be fluid, maturing with every album, changing their sound, exploring new territory, they are vilified by former "fans" and critics alike. They are disparaged all over the internet, ignored and/or disemboweled by elitist music listeners, and their efforts at making cutting-edge, mature, different music are mocked, whether or not the mockery is justified. And in many cases, it isn't.

very true. I do like they're newer stuff alot. I'm exited for their new album- but old-school rush (like their first album) is some awsome material too.
I just hate their techno/synth phase, with the exeption of a few songs

Right? That's a band that changes literally every album (and never disappoint either)

Tyler. wrote:Blink did change a fair bit. If you listen to all their albums in a row they actually have very different sounds, EOTS and TOYPAJ are pretty different styles really. At a glance you'd think they're just the same but they're heaps different. They didn't change any less than any other bands mentioned here really.

Isn't Screaming Bloody Murder essentially just that? It's dark and heavy, still upbeat and melodic and uses all the elements that were in Underclass Hero.

It's like UH with a heavy switch turned on. Chuck was a different type of heavy.
