Cover: 9
Fat Lips out of 10.
The cover is the drummer with a gash
in his head and he's bleeding. Bloody band members always get high scores.
Booklet: 9
Fat Lips out of 10.
Like the cover, the booklet is filled with photos of the band all fucked
up and bloody. They look like zombies. It also has all the lyrics, thanks,
and that crap.

Fat Lips out of 10.
I've had this CD in my player for the last few months and that says
something, since I have an attention span as short as Ronnie James Dio.
A lot of people consider Sum 41 just another poppy punk band like Blink
182 but I think they're more metal than a lot of people give them credit
for. They're waving the rock flag and like to wreck hotels and fuck
groupies, so they're like a little Canadian version of Motley Crue.
If you're unsure about this band, check out the heavier songs like "Mr.
Amsterdam," "Billy Spleen," and "Hooch." It's
good modern metal type shit. "Mr. Amsterdam" has parts that
remind me of classic Metallica and the entire album has a lot more of
an edge than their previous CDs.
Comments: This CD also comes
with a great bonus DVD which has a mockumentary of their alter-egos
Pain For Pleasure, which is along the lines of Metal Shop. The DVD comes
with two Pain For Pleasure songs that would make Iron Maiden proud and
also contains a variety of nudity, destruction, and chaos. What more
could you ask for?
I'd also like to say that guitarist Dave Brownsound purchased our
No-Frills Metal Sludge T-Shirt from our Sludgendise
Store! Now that's metal!
