Music Review: Sum 41 - Underclass Hero

Sum 41's new album, Underclass Hero , hasn't come without its hardships on the band. They were nearly killed during a 2004 documentary shoot in the Congo. The band also split with their management. Most recently, it was announced that long-time member and guitarist Dave "Brownsound" Baksh was leaving the band . Underclass Hero is their sixth studio release and first effort since 2005's Chuck . The record starts off with the title track and first single that quite frankly, sounds like every other Sum 41 song. Listen to it a few times. Doesn't this song sound distinctly familiar? Anyway, the rest of the album sounds like someone else's, not Sum 41's. "With Me" could easily be mistaken for Yellowcard and "March of the Dogs" might as well be a Green Day song. Read more

I like the new album. It shows how versatile they can be, but still stay true to who they are. Each song represents a different side of Sum 41 and because of this, I think that this could be their best album ever yet.
