Sum 41’s heady CD is miles from rhyming about ”drinking in the back of an El Camino,” and it’s a big gamble for a band whose fans expect easily digestible three-minute blasts of pranks and parties.

Like Sum 41's previous efforts, it's a concise album ... with a basic understanding that fast and loud is what the band does best. But this time around, Sum 41 has made sure to set its message at the same high volume.

For what it is, it's not half bad. But that's about it.

With Chuck, Sum 41 have pulled off a truly impressive knucklehead stunt: They've managed to grow up a little and still have something to say.

Even snotty-nosed punk rockers realise you grow up.

Chuck continues to flirt with the speed metal sound that seems to thrill the dudes in the band, and they sometimes conjure up decent noises out of the metallic bits.

EDIT: Pieces is legit one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard. Love that one, 10/10. Just wish the rest of the album was like that lol
This album is extremely derivative of other artists, I mean No Reason straight-up rips off One Step Closer, We're All to Blame rips off the melody from Karma Police by Radiohead, Angels with Dirty Faces verses sound a lot like Follow by Breaking Benjamin (amazing song), Some Say almost sounds like Wonderwall by Oasis, The Bitter End riff sounds a lot like ... read more
A consistent album, every song on this album is, at worst, decent. The only issue is, outside of Pieces, nothing really stands out as a great song
Fantastic hard-hitting riffs paired with slow, melodic breaks. Just the right balance for people like me who are not usually into full-on metal. Easily their best album.
Best tracks: The bitter end, We're all to blame, 88

“Some Say” sounds like a Frankenstein amalgamation of “Wonderwall” by Oasis, “Complicated” by Avril Lavine & “Jumper” by Third Eye Blind

If you like this, be sure to check out Screaming Bloody Murder album. Same dark tone of lyrics but in different way, many alt-metal vibes (not hardcore-ish, though), heartbreaking meaning. (Also Does it look infected and Order in Decline, but not that much)
