Here is the reviews I found for the album, post yours:

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=12897 - This one is ridiculous

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/6vxm/

http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Music-Revi ... class-hero - This review takes a good positive aproach for the album

http://music.guardian.co.uk/reviews/sto ... 32,00.html - In this one they said that "Derek Baksh" leaves the band

http://www.entertainmentwise.com/review?id=35095

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/content_ ... 157913d001 - I actually feel identified while reading this review in the "maduration" part

The only one I agree with is the one that game them a 4/5

On the first one I agree and especially with what 'Skyler' said.
Dave only wrote solos from what I heard.
Deryck did most of it.

LOL That wasd hilarious! Wow if you don't even know Dave's name and you're going to talk about that then that's pretty fucking stupid to me. Seriously people like that need to do research! It's NUTS.

what the hell is going on here?!!
Sum 41 deserve better reviews than these on this new album.
A lot of them are trashing it but I love listening to it.
They all talk about Sum 41 like they have a grudge or sumthing.

One of those reviews is from a fuckin teenage (the first one i think) thats just his opinion thats not a review(they arnt the same thing), its like getting a g-unit gangsta wannabee hip-hop faggot to review an album like this....its conflict of interest people... and also the guardian gave it one star..

Face facts guys, Sum 41 is a niche group. Deryck's voice can be highly annoying to people. I love Sum 41, but I don't expect them to be getting 4 or 5 star reviews for everything just because I like it.

I wouldn't go as far to say that nobody likes them considering the fact that it was supposedly hard to get tickets to the show that I was at. You can only win them and even before that, I knew people who couldn't get into the show at Metropolis because it sold out so fast. They have fans. They're just not super commercial like Green Day is and what makes Sum 41 different from bands like Green Day and Blink 182 is that their sound changes significantly between each album and reviewers are always caught comparing their albums.

The thing with the reviews is;

1. It's as if Underclass Hero fucking lives under the shadow of American Idiot. They're different bands, why do they need comparison? They're in somewhat of the same genre, you don't see every review for Lamb of God have them compared to Metallica. Yes, they're both metal but do they sound AT ALL the same? No!

2. Seriously, bands like the Rolling Stones who barely ever change their sound are still critically acclaimed. Sum 41 took a different direction, like they did after All Killer No Filler, and yet they are still being criticized because the REVIEWER IS JUST BIASED.

3. One review complains it sounds nothing like Chuck. If it sounded anything like Chuck, you'd say it was bad.

4. The same reviewer saying it didn't sound enough like Chuck says the only good songs are Underclass Hero and Ma Poubelle, the poppiest songs on the album.

5. The Sputnik review? It says that they rip off every band including themself YET IT PRAISES MA POUBELLE FOR SOUNDING LIKE THE BEATLES'S "MICHELLE."

These reviews just piss me off so much, none is yet to give a fair, unbiased opinion.
