Dear Jared,
If you or any staff member of this site this, you're just proving everything I say here
and even being cowards.
So...
Where are the arguments for such crap you said? You look ridiculous and seem to be doing
some kind of rvengeance.
If you want to say something so negative, you should at least give examples to support
your arguments (can we evenrclassify what you said as arguments or just bullshit?), but
you just criticize without any basis.
Seriously, who hired you to review music on this site? Do you have any training in music
and/or journalism? You do rit for free? Probably.
I bet you have almost no money and lives at in your parent's home, or maybe a minuscule
and cheap rented rapartment. (This is the kind of arguments you use, just wanted to show
how any one can do the same job you rdo...I'm sorry for my honesty, but you're just a
joke).
And yeah, you wish to be half of what any member of Sum 41 is, but you're just a loser and
a joke. I hope you don't rneed any anti-depressive pills after read this (if you're
capable to follow me until the end).
(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 ris poorly constructed and full of bugs. This site will
be dead soon.)

We're dark and brooding! Now we're catchy and fun! Oh, now we're dark and thrashy this time!
Whoops, too thrashy, let's do a power ballad. Wait, we're not dark and brooding enough! THREE PART
DARK SUITE. OK that was too much, soft piano ballad. WAIT WHY ARE WE BALLADING WE'RE DARK AND
BROODING GODDAMNIT
What does this album want to be and why am I even listening to this

So what happens when Sum 41 FINALLY leaves behind their ever going success of "Fat Lip" and tries to write something completely different and new? Screaming Bloody Murder happens! It features a much more mature and darker version of Sum 41 that we've NEVER seen before. Is this a good thing though? I've always enjoyed the rebelling high school Sum 41, but the ice was getting rather thin for my taste. I mean, how long can you surf on the same wave? Screaming Bloody Murder is a really good album. Strong song writing and really impressive and improved vocals, although I agree with critics that the songs "Holy Image of Lies", "Sick of Everyone" and "Happiness Machine" might sound a bit of the same mash if you randomly are listening though the album and not paying attention to the track listing. All in all it's a really good album, sometimes the album might get a bit boring for those who can't stand an album that stays true to one tune and style. Although if we look on each track we see a new and stronger Sum 41 with better and stronger songwriting! Who would have though we would ever see a post-highschool Sum 41?

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!

if you actually give it a shot w/o giving a fuck what its review or overall rating say, this ris an excellent album. really a ton of variety (even moreso than chuck, surprisingly) is rfound on this cd and it's easily their most experimental. if you're just gonna write it off ras "it's sum 41 post-dave so it's gotta suck," you're missing out. listen to jessica kill, rthen crash, then the title track for starters just to get a glimpse of how diverse and just rflat out good this album really is.

Unarguably the darkest album that Sum 41 has released.

I've been waiting for this album for some months now and now that I've finally heard it I am actually quite disappointed. This sounds too much like Underclass Hero, I miss chuck and previous albums.This album accentuates Sum 41's transformation from punk rock to pop punk.

After a few listens it is a great album, with all the nostalgia but with a new level of maturity to the songwriting that really says F*** you to the pop-punk title that they always fall under. This is by far Their best album, and hopefully a great comeback.

From what I've heard so far this has a chance of being Sum 41's best album to date. Seriously intrigued as to how this will turn out!

Generic Power Chords: The Album. Continuing their angsty persona first encountered with Chuck. Thing is, Chuck was released in 2004, and continuing to tread the same grounds while writing less good songs makes this record sound quite lazy. Nothing more to say, it's not offensively bad, it's just painfully average to the core.

It's not good. I'm well aware of that. However, middle school me would cry if I put anything below a 3

This isn't as bad as I remembered it being. It has some pretty fun jams on here.

Sum 41 attempt a darker, brooding record, and end up with a wimpy, pathetic stinker. An utter waste of time.

As a rule of thumb, I usually try not to rate albums by bands I've never enjoyed. I feel it's a bit cheap. But this album feels so earnestly terrible... I seriously think that they really thought this album was a step in the right direction and it failed so miserably that it earns its 1 hard. A huge, epic, complete failure.

Sometimes what bands will do from time to time, they will show the progress of an Album (through youtube, photos and etc.) that the band is working on getting fans hyped up. I was one of them. I remember checking their website everytime thinking "Wow what if this album is better than Underclass Hero?" The demos shown by Sum 41 seemed promising enough. Unfortunately, it turns out that "Screaming Bloody Murder" is an overhyped disappointment to the fans. To describe the sound for this Album is that it's very similar to "Does this look infected?" It's going for more of a Hard Rock feel to it. I find this a bit disappointing considering how I feel that Sum 41 is rehashing their older albums. Not that "Underclass Hero" was bad. In fact, I found it to be good but the problem is that at a certain point, it becomes a bit generic and that's the same thing with "Screaming Bloody Murder". Fortunately, There are a few songs on here that are excellent though. The songs I recommend for this album are "Reason To Believe", "Screaming Bloody Murder" and "What Am I to Say?" The rest is a bit generic. I feel bad how I'm giving this a low rating because this band was a band I liked when I was kid. This band also helped me out through a lot of times but I guess all good things must come to an end.

I think the thing that I most want to comment on after looking through a handful of reviews of this album is people's lack of perspective. This is, after all, Sum 41. They're not going burst out of the woodwork with an instrumental prowess that rivals Colors or lyrical depth that challenges The Wild Hunt, but deliver us again their fun brand of teenage pop-punk. And that's precisely what this is to me, fun. I don't care what it makes someone think of my musical taste, I'm not afraid to reach back into my memory banks and experience some 4th grade nostalgia while listening to a few of the entertaining cuts off of this album. I may have developed a much more mature taste over time, but that doesn't mean I forgot what it was to be a kid blasting "Fat Lip" out of my CD player.

Screaming Bloody Murder's ambition is commendable, but it is overlong and many of the tracks are just plain boring. The title track is kinda cool, and there certain moments that show promise, but this is overall a tedious record that doesn't live up to the expectations it sets upon itself.

Green Day took a new approach with "American Idiot" and continued down that path with "21st
Century Breakdown". Sum 41 follows suit by traveling down a similar road, first with
"Underclass Hero", and now with "Screaming Bloody Murder". This album is not original and
it's not traditional Sum 41, but it is still a pretty solid collection of music.
