Product Description

ポップ・パンクは「コードが3つまでしかない」。これはパンクのルーツにのっとった掟で、SUM 41の2000年のデビュー盤である本作も、このすばらしいコード進行のスタイルを忠実に守っている。
大ヒットした『All Killer No Filler』は、本作のリリースからわずか2か月後にレコーディングされた。この2枚が似ていると言うのは、控え目な言い方だが決して悪口ではない。SUM 41は、ブリンク182がたまに（もちろん下品な冗談とともに）生み出す抜け目なさには欠けるが、そこをキャッチーなリフとすてきなメロディーに乗せた思春期前の白人少年ラップで補っていて、オフスプリングの「Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)」と同じ狙いを感じさせる。
「Makes No Difference」は「Fat Lip」に匹敵するほどの出来栄えで、さわやかな「Summer」は、他のトラックの手が届かないところまでアドレナリンを放出している（それにキャッチーなメロディラインは、成功するトラックに不可欠である）。
SUM 41の無軌道ぶりはアッシュの『1977』を思い出させる（似たようなフォトアルバム風のブックレットもある）。けれども、アッシュのティム・ウィーラーが「Girl From Mars」を書いたのに対し、ビジーは「Dave's Possessed Hair」の歌詞で「非暴力を唱える代わりに拳を振るんだ」と書いていて、よく似てはいるがあと一歩及んでいない。郊外に住む中流ホワイトカラーの社会における典型的な不幸を歌った本作には、たった15分間でも30分のパワーが詰まっている。
SUM 41はこれまでに十分すぎるほどの成果を上げてきた。だが、さらなる進化を遂げ、この退屈なジャンルを卒業してグリーン・デイのような名曲を書く才能（あるいは意欲）がこのバンドにあるかどうか見極めるのは難しい。けれども、SUM 41はできるだけ長く思いきり楽しもうと思っているようだし、ご覧のとおり、彼らにとってそれが一番大事なことなのだ。（Ben Johncock, Amazon.co.uk）
From Amazon.co.uk
Pop punk: "because there is no fourth chord". Its an ethos thats served their forefathers well and Sum 41s 2000 debut Half Hour of Power, sticks firmly to this frantic fretboard formula.
Their hugely successful All Killer No Filler album was recorded only two months after this--to say that they are cut from the same cloth is an understatement, but not necessarily a bad thing. What they lack in the assured canniness that Blink 182 occasionally produce (dirty jokes aside of course) they make up for with catchy riffs and a fine line in pre-pubescent white-boy rap--so much so that youd think The Offspring aimed "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" at them.
"Makes No Difference" is as close to the brilliance of "Fat Lip" as it gets here, but the breezy "Summer" keeps the adrenaline pumping where the tunes falls short (and a catchy hookline is essential for songs like these to succeed).
Their delinquency is reminiscent of Ashs 1977 (with similar photo album booklets), but where Tim Wheeler wrote "Girl From Mars", "Bizzy" has written "Daves Possessed Hair" with the lyrics "You say youre a pacifist/Instead you wave your fist." Close, but no Harry Winterman cigar. Quintessential casualties of middle-brow, white-collar, suburban society, this is 30 minutes of power but only 15 minutes of tunes.
Good enough for what it achieved but its hard to see if they have the ability (or desire) to evolve and graduate from this tiresome genre and write classics like Green Day did.
Still, they seem to be having the time of their lives while they can and that, apparently, is all that matters.--Ben Johncock
