Sum 41

Still Waiting

Label: Mercury Release Date: 18/11/2002

2793
gdobson by Gareth Dobson November 20th, 2002

"_So am I still waiting

For this world to stop hating

Can't find a good reason

Can't find hope to believe in_"

It appears that Sum 41 have hit puberty, and unlike the rest of the world's teenagers who deal with their emotional turmoil in their poorly-lit bedrooms, Canada's bastard children of Greenday are going to vent their growing pains to the world.

Worst of all, the band choose to articulate their sense of misplaced rage in the form of a sub-Offspring SoCal punk dirge. I'd like to say I preferred it when they sang about girls n'that, but I didn't. I just want them to go away.
