sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 They're not bad and worth a listen, but I still don't see the magical x-factor that supposedly makes them better than everyone else. Good band, but nowt special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Took me a while as well to get used to the re-worked versions of most of the songs that i've had for a good while 83324[/snapback] Yeah same here! I like the re-worked ones now... I think it's quite important how they've done that because so many people have had the songs for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravtash patel 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 had a bootleg copy for a while now & i've just ordered the original off play.com, i think they are pure class & with lyrics like "he's not from new york city he's from rotherham" & "although he might wear classic reeboks or knackered converse with trackie bottoms tucked in socks" nobody can take away the fact that they are very up to date & cutting edge.. although i'm not to keen on "the streets" i do think they are the nearest thing to them lyric wise, although its the raw rock n roll style of the monkeys i prefer to the chav like "streets".. best song i've heard from the monkeys to date is a toss up between fake tales of san fransico & a certain romance.. class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I really can't get into them.. downloaded the album a while ago when I heard all the hype and while it's a good album I've heard a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Kirkey 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I think they're absolutely superb, real breath of fresh air and in this case all the hype is justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 523 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) Couldn't be more under-whelmed by the album personally. The singer has an annoying voice and the much vaunted lyrics just leave me, well, feeling very little. More NME over-hyping. To make things worse there will now be a million and one poor imitations signed up by the other labels to try and cash in on the craze.

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Anything that has been this over-hyped, is something I wont touch. There are a few albums which I never listen to because they sucked, despite being built-up as godly by the tossers at Radio 1 and NME etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what we're all about, It's what we live for, Come on shout it out! Class. 83829[/snapback] I've got Sum 41's first album. The seas have parted, the endings started, the sky has turned to black. A killing spree through eternity, the devil stabs you in the back, It's midnight now you must escape somehow, torture is his leisure, don't try to hide he'll make you subside, as he exchanges pain for pleasure, Pain for pleasure, he's the hunter you're the game, Pain for pleasure, Satan is his name! Look Out! They RACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I would like to point out the following: 1) Sum 41 may not be the best band around, but they have produced some good stuff. 2) I don't like Blink 182. 3) The Spiderman movie came AFTER Sum 41 had recorded "What We're All About". 4) That song was a pisstake. 5) So was Pain For Pleasure SLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
