SUM 41

Underclass Hero

 

Deryck Whibley – Singer/songwriter/guitarist

Cone McCaslin – Bassist

Steve Jocz – Drummer

 

            Sum 41’s new album “Underclass Hero” has hits stores and hit hard. They as “Underclass Heros” have given the big bands a warning with this album and the warning is: Move over and make us room up top or suffer a big “Fat Lip!” In this album they give a new meaning to a mosh pit song, in fact almost this whole entire album is one big mosh pitting song.

The album opens up with the title track “Underclass Hero.” It’s a basic remake of “Fat Lip,” which I usually frown upon, but this time I don’t. It sets the stage for the rest of the album. The second track “Walking Disaster” follows in Underclass Hero’s footsteps. It’s a killer tune with great vocals and even cooler music. “Speak of the Devil,” the third song has a unquine feature. The vocals give a sense of a slower track, but the music gives a sense of a fast, upbeat punk song. The seventh song, “March of the Dogs,” is a solid song, with single material. “The Jester,” is a musically explosion with its hard and heavy sound. The vocals are hard to hear, but at a show….who fucking cares!!! Mosh Pitting Time!!!!!!!

Overall this is a really good album. There are some filler songs, but for the most part you’ll listen to every song on the album. They also have put a few fun songs on the album that are very cool….can anyone speak French? Anyways, if you have a system in your car you will be very pleased with this album. Just put it in, turn it on and crank it up…ENJOY!!!
