As far as this thread goes, the regs are doing a lot more off-topic discussion and trolling than any

of the fans.

"Went in with low expectations (probably because of all the hoopla from the haters) and was actually very impressed...pleasantly surprised by the excellent drum work throughout, some very decent guitar solos, and I was blown away by the soft piano passages found on many of the tracks, the transitions from the softer moments to the more hard hitting faster moments work wonderfully on this album...good variety/mix of music, probably my FAV Sum 41 album!"



I agree with you on a lot of this. I know "Underclass Hero" has a poor reputation too, but I personally liked both of these albums. I feel like Sum 41 has matured as a band and they have a more dynamic sound now:



- like you said, the changes in tempo and going from harder/softer music is a nice touch

- I think they've done a really good job with backing vocals in the last two albums -- they have some pretty decent harmony mixed in some of these songs

- a lot of catchy (albethey generic) guitar riffs

"not to pull this card, but you have 3 posts, I don't think you're certified to say the site is shitty. browse some more reviews and then decide it's shitty, fine.



but this is how the site works, sometimes you don't like a review, and that's fine. there's plenty of reviews here I think are poorly written, both by regular users and staff. so dislike the review, voice your opinion on it and then jesus titty fucking christ stop whining.



I'm like 60% sure I'm just feeding trolls here but holy shit



holy shit."



You sure have a point. But that's not what I meant. Read my note again:



"Note: By the way, this site is so shitty that your e-mails are recognized as spam by Google. Not to say that the site

is poorly constructed and full of bugs. This site will be dead soon."



I'm just pointing that this site is full of bugs and has a poor construction technically.



And you're right again...this is just a review. And basing on what I read it has no value, so why try to discuss it with a fair analysis? It doesn't worth the time.



Thanks for opening my eyes. You're not feeding trolls. At least with me.

"re: http://moaropeth.tumblr.com/post/4189335023/lol-no-worries-about-somebody-deleting-this-little



How can you study music for 12 years and not realize Sum 41 are a complete

load of shit? lol"



And you're basing that comment on what? What do you know or who you are to say Sum 41 is shit? You can hate it, you can hate the sound they make, but you can't say Sum 41 is shit.



I bet you didn't give a listen to this album, because of your prejudgment, but that's fine with me if you didn't said "Sum 41 is shit and I am the owner of reason" LOL



In fact, I know many people who studied music and likes Sum 41.

Sum 41 isn't, musically speaking, the best band in the world...but it's a fairly good band.

I'm able to say that, (again) musically speaking, this album (Screaming Bloody Murder) is the best they did. Comparable, in music quality, to some past works from Muse.



So shit...shit is what you just said.



In short: you can hate Sum 41, but you can't say that Sum 41's music is shit...unless you consider yourself stupid for not being able to have a proper discussion and decent arguments.

I'm not sure which is more biased, the review or the comments:



Jared mentioned somewhere in the comments that he didn't give this album a low rating just because it was Sum 41 who produced it. Really? You spent the first half of the review talking about how much you hate Sum 41. You keep going on about how Sum 41 steels all of their songs and at one point you string What Am I To Say with With Me and ultimately to Only One by Yellowcard. I see how With Me and Only One sound similar but then you add in What Am I To Say, which sounds nothing alike Only One. I don't think you understand that in this genre a main component of music is powerchords, and due to the nature of powercords, songs are going to sound similar to each other. Melodies do get borrowed from band to band. It happens all the time. (For Example listen to the guitar in the verse of Linoleum by NoFX and then listen to Letterbomb by Green Day).



Furthermore, you never actually explain what makes the album so bad. You mention about 3/4 of the songs but no song has a review longer than a sentence. I don't know what you expected from the album. You complain that it was too long. You complained that there are soft and hard songs. Want did you want?



But thats okay, a review is all opinion right? The problem is that you are so influential on this site that you have fanboys. While some of the members actually made good points, most called others "retarded, trolls, fanboys", and made statements such claiming that the album is terrible even though they didn't listen to it.



""Fat Lip" and "In Too Deep" were my jams back in the day, but needless to say, I won't be checking this out. great review, I like your scathing ones haha"



"lol i havent listend to this but i already know its gonna be bad"

Well then make a start towards proper discussion and tell us what makes this album musically good, because I'm pretty sure you haven't stated yet why you think it's so good (musically).

So many of the people are saying why are you arguing? Music's subjective so they can give it as low scores as they want, and some other people will think it's amazing. Then we get comments like this, it's just uneeded.
