Given their history, this album is the perfect way of going out. With it being a double album, 10 pop punk songs and 10 metal songs👌

If this album is solid and they're truly done after it, they might come away with one of the best pop punk discographies of the genre.

Honestly they havent released a bad record and IMO have been the most consistant pop punk band. I didnt like underclass much but its grown on me now that im in my 30s and having nostalgia trips for pop punk. Sad to see them go

It’s such a nice throwback song. For me it’s the best single in a long time. The hook is soooo good.

As somebody on the internet (without a beard, sorry) that really liked their more metal stuff... I love seeing them come back to this as they wrap. Just a very underrated band with way more staying power than I'd given them credit for initially.

You are exactly right on All Killer No Filler. The more time goes by, the better that album is. It has become a top five favorite album for me.

What a year 2001 was. Blink-182 - TOYPAY and Sum 41 - AKNF, both mixed/engineered by the legend Jerry Finn. RIP. Both albums together defined my musical taste and still to this day I rate them 10/10. Also, I can wait Heaven x Hell, 10+10 songs, 10 Punk and 10 Metal songs? I mean the best of Sum's both side. AWESOME! I really like their approach to metal, IMO suits them!

I think part of the allure of Chuck is the backstory to the album itself. They were filming a doc in the Congo when fighting broke out all around them and they were trapped in their hotel for days. I think a lot of the darker, heavier vibes comes from that experience.

Tbh whatever these guys put out right now could never put a scratch on their legacy for me. You HAVE to understand that NOBODY else from my shitty suburban Canadian town has done anything notable other than these guys! The DEFINITION of hometown heroes for me, any musical endeavour I embark upon in my life is a direct result of them. Them being from Ajax validated EVERYTHING my rancid teen brain was feeling. Imagine the “Canadian Blink” growing up right around you. They seriously make anything seem possible for a dumb kid in this town like me.

As a nerdy man with a beard, “Chuck” is one of my favorite albums all time.

Been a huge fan of them since Half hour of Power. I’ll always be a Sum 41 fan. I got my brother sister and my kids into the band. Wishing o my the best to all the band memebers.

Love all their big 3 albums. Didn’t care for chuck much at the time but grew to love it. Find it strange that Finn said he doesn’t like metal mixed with pop punk but also says homesick by ADTR is one of his favorite albums lol.

I absolutely love the new song. It's been on repeat since the drop. All Killer No Filler shaped my youth and who I am today. I can't wait to see them on tour! Sincerely, a 32 year old, elder emo mom. 😂♡

Certified hit Sum is back baby

Guilt nerdy metal fan Chuck lover here. Though honestly over the years as I got into and began preferring increasingly gnarly types of metal, Chuck still really holds up for me. Not even just middle school nostalgia speaking. The songwriting and catchy aspects of it are just that damn good. If it were just my current metal preferences speaking, I'd probably just be gushing about We're All to Blame, The Bitter End, and 88 and call it day, but the whole album is amazing. That said, I do really like their pop punk stuff as well. All Killer, No Filler is indeed all killer, no filler. This new song is pretty tight, but I do think the whoahs in the chorus are kinda cheesy for my liking. Very much looking forward to both halves of this upcoming double album.

New Sum 41 and Blink in the same month?!? Love it! Also prefer the pop punk stuff, but some of their heavier stuff is great too.All Killer, DTLI, and Underclass Hero are masterpieces imo.

All Killer No Filler is their best, no competition. The new single checks all the boxes for me!

Underclass Hero came out my freshman year of high school and it became the soundtrack to my life

Spring of 2002... stumbled across All Killer No Filler, and it didn't leave my car CD player til some time that winter. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. Sum 41 are undeniable legends. They do different things with their sound, "evolve" and all that, and still consistently manage to make great music.

Does This Look Infected is probably what I would consider their best work, but I can't deny that All Killer No Filler is great.

I liked Sum 41 as a teenager while I wasn't a big fan of Blink 182 and it probably was the metal influence. They had this vlog type DVD that came with a Does This Look Infected deluxe edition or something and it was pretty funny from what I remember. Even being a metal guy, I always liked All Killer more than Infected, but Chuck was probably my favorite

Finn again on point, everyone hates Underclass Hero but I'm so in love with that album❤

Underclass Hero is a little underrated. I think it is one of their absolute best and I just can't stop listening to it. It just doesn't get old. Can't say the same for some of their other albums.

Chuck has some of the heaviest, but also some of their poppiest and slowest stuff.

Definitely with you about "Underclass Hero." I've heard some people call it derivative, but I don't get that impression at all. One of my personal favorite albums of all time.

Fun fact, the chorus for Underclass Hero's titular opener, was originally the chorus for Chuck's opener "No Reason", but they went with another vocal melody for that one. You can hear it's almost the exact same chord progressions in the two choruses. I'm on AKNF as well, but Chuck is a very close second, not because of the metal stuff (I was 13 at the time Chuck came out, to me it was all just "rock") but it was just way more experimental with tracks like Slipping Away and 88, and Pieces is their best slow song to date!

Finn, you can’t say you don’t like Metal in your Pop Punk. You love easycore and think Homesick is one of the best albums of all time. 😂 Metalcore is still metal

I fucking love this song.

I LOVED that "Underclass Hero" album, so many great songs on that album!

All Killer No Filler was one of my most played CDs in high school. I remember getting Does This Look Infected for Christmas and my mom prewarned me to hide the PA sticker when I opened it so my stepdad wouldn't take it away 😂 I think it came with a DVD too, right?

I'm a nerd in my 30s who likes metal, but I also like fun and a good time, and pop punk Sum 41 is the most fun and best Sum 41 to me.

Thinking Still Waiting is just "okay" is such an egregious take

06:03 "This sh*t, very metal" *Dude in leotard starts dancing and twirling his leg around

All killer no filler and underclass hero are my favorites and still in my regular rotation (I've touched boobs, so checks out). Unfortunately never seen them live before but can't wait to catch them at WWWY and the side show the night before. These guys are my #1 must see band ever. Heartbreaking to come to an end, but Landmines is a great single to summarize their career.

I love all sum 41 but underclass hero is my favorite

I remember the first time I heard fat lip It was for that PlayStation 2 motorcross game MX Superfly And loved them Their pop punk went well with my skating lol Sad they’re done but they’ve had a great run.

The video shows what I'd assume is younger versions of themselves and they're in a green El Camino which was a "Fat LIP" reference. "Storming through the party like my name was El Niño When I'm hanging out drinking in the back of an El Camino"

"I don't like metal in my pop punk" but Finn......you love ADTR!

I feel like at this point the pop punk genre knows it's fans and the fans know what they want and it's nice.

Sounds like travis barker produced modern pop punk.

The Sums is one of my favorites too

Half Hour of Power was the first I ever heard of Sum 41. It was great.

I legitimately shit you not when I was finishing this video Landmines started playing on the radio

My favorite concert was Sum 41 when they came to Okinawa, Japan in 2016. There were Marines climbing on the stage and the rafters while chanting "Fuck PMO" (military Police) during fat lip. Honestly a great concert that they put on with a bunch of drunk infantrymen...who definitely fit the nerds and metal stereotype

I loved still waiting

Die hard sum 41 fan. Underclass hero is by far my favorite album

Top tier comedy commentary on this one.

Your wild man. Still Waiting is the perfect example of a song that is pop punk with a tinge of metal.

As a nerdy guy (glasses also) with a beard. I can say you are 100% right now

Although considered an EP you can't forget Half Hour Of Power which came before All Killer No Filler, Second Chance For Max Headroom is still to this day my favorite because of the trombone section in the middle of the song. Definitely worth a listen for anyone who's not familiar with that release. Long live Sum 41!!

I’m a diehard Sum 41 fan who definitely likes the heavier stuff, but also loves the pop punk stuff and Underclass Hero is possibly my favorite album of their. Either Underclass Hero or Does This Look Infected

Can't wait to hear the full album, happy we have some pop punk, but i also hope we'll get more heavy stuff and solo ❤

Got to see them a month ago in Cincinnati with The Offspring and Simple Plan. Wish they could've played more than nine or ten songs, but it was still nice to see them before they're gone forever. If they come close again next year during their final tour, I'll try to go see them

Big Thumbs up for the SOIA shirt!! @Finn

It's me, I'm the nerdy guy with the beard lmfao. I love their pop punk stuff though. I'm also a fan of Underclass Hero!

Underclass Hero was 2008... Damn! in my head its a newer album

I had no idea Sum 41 had a metal phase. Does anyone else think the beginning of their new song sounds similar to Mr Brightside?

Welp, im off to the shop to go through all their albums while making sawdust

I wish you'd talked about 13 voices and order in decline. Both are super mixed bags. They were definitely decreasing in consistent quality while still making some bangers. So excited to see what's next

The dudes with beards today, were the kids of early 2000s middle and high schoolers with the spikey hair, dickie shorts and either chuck Taylor's or vans slip on shoes.

5:28 dude, I saw a show where Sum 41 opened, Simple Plan was next, and Offspring headlined, Best show but I loved it, always a fan but people don’t believe I’m 32 and have discovered how to time travel

Very cool. Chuck is my favourite album.

I like all the Sum 41 albums but my favorite is hands down Screaming Bloody Murder and it is very underrated.

Can't wait to hear that song of playing in a empty pool like going back in time to have something in common with Enema State and sounds like a little bit metal

Man, I'm listening to Sum 41 tomorrow!

I love Sum 41. I saw them recently and unfortunately they weren’t loud at all, even compared to Simple Plan who played right before them.

I don't know man. Metal Sum41 is the best (though their pop punk stuff is great as well) no beard by the way and not a nerd

The underclass hero chorus was a leftover from an unreleased Chuck song. Sounds better on underclass hero

i never truly feel like a 41 year old until i see stuff like @01:30 and think goddamn i miss this time period

4:05 DTLI really brings the best of both worlds imo. You have both pop punk bangers like The Hell Song, and straight-up thrash metal like Mr. Amsterdam.

The supersoakers from the car is a callback to their very first video. From their first album. And it's not All Killer. They'd been around for five years by that point. That video is the reason they got signed.

I'm a bit of a nerd and I love metal. Nerds have, in many cases, spent a good portion of their lives feeling like they don't fit in. And then they discover metal and it's lyrics which can often be about fighting back and standing up for yourself. They suddenly feel powerful while listening to this stuff. They go to a metal concert and realize that there are thousands of people who feel the exact same way as they do. And then they have found their family.

Underclass hero my fav album

Good ol sum 41. One of my first "favorite" bands. Have several of their albums. 🤙🤙🤙

In high school and early college, Chuck was my favorite album. But I feel like that and Does this Look Infected have become “gym/workout songs” and I haven’t been since before 2020😅. Underclass Hero is actually tied as my top sums album with All Killer. But I’m so excited for this new double album. Sad the band is ending but all great things come to an end eventually.

Sum41 is so fucking rocking!

Absolute banger for one of my favourite bands throughout my life. Great career and sad they're finishing up!

Nerdy guys with beards... *raises hand* I love your videos, mate.

Sum 41 are awesome and in my opinion,have no bad albums yet.

In my opinion everything they do is fire pop punk or heavy they rock

I really like "Still Waiting." Pop punk with thrash riffs has the same appeal to me as pop punk with breakdowns.

I haven’t listened to them since DTLI but this new song is actually really good!! I think this is a good way to go out for a band for sure

Their last album was so good. Very metal.

I like this song a lot.

I've loved sum 41 since school as a 12 year old in 2002. Their album 13 voices helped me through my divorce, the song war was my favourite, I know the album was strongly about Derick and his near death moment but I could relate some of the songs to my feelings.

I love their entire discography, and I wear my Sum 41 shirt all the time. I was BUMMED when they announced their farewell but I'm digging the new song and I can't wait to hear the rest! P.S. it killed me when you said nerdy men with beards or elder emo moms. So accurate 😂

I grew with them. They had all killer no filler which was perfect then as I grew in music they put out does this look infected which was right where I was at. Then of course chuck. With me is a great song later in their career. Great live too

I’ve always liked Underclass Hero, it’s consistently remained in my albums on my phones over the years. From what I remember though, at the time they got flack for it because it was looked at as kind of ripping off Green Day’s American Idiot. It had some of those vibes, but it was its own thing, again, I always liked it. But yeah, I agree that they never had a bad album, always solid.

Underclass Hero has always been a favorite of mine. I find it crazy that the rest of the fan base doesn't fw it. I was in elementary school for that one so I was plenty nerdy but not neckbeard metal guy nerdy 🤷🏾‍♂️

In too deep has the most important early 2000s pop punk staple. The Orange County drum kit.

This is a great song

The idea that nerds and metal go hand and hand sounds to me. The subgenre I gravitate to the most is indie.

well they ARE making a double album 1 poppunk, 1 metal. so the best of both worlds really

I think I'm the male version of emo mum, in my 40's but can't wait to let rip at the farewell tour! Live, the guys are awesome, (along with Deryk's personal issues, performing obviously takes a lot) can see why they would want to go out with a bang. I'm here for it.

Their last two albums were awesome!

Metal is for all to enjoy!

I highly suggest watching m 41 documentary in the Congo. Chuck makes a ton of sense after understanding they where in the middle of a war zone. The track -All to blame- is pretty much about the war in Africa. If you didn't know Chuck is the name of the UN peace keeper that evacuated the band from a hotel in a hot zone.

I would love it if you covered what happened to the used

Sum 41 was my entry to alternative music and they also describe my transition from a popular pop-punk teenager to a bearded metal-nerd. Metal - not even once!
