Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler

Of the millions of albums which have been recorded, only 15 can make it into The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musician's and at number 9 we have All Killer, No Filler by Sum 41 (2001).

As i skip half of the 13 tracks on this album that name is a bit misleading but the ones that i do play are certainly great, the sort of up-tempo guitar tunes that i would thrash out before i got all old and started wearing cardigans and sensible shoes.
I don't know if Pain For Pleasure is a mickey taking metal sounding song, it certainly looks like a send up in the video and they did evolve into a more metal sound rather than the pop-punk they began with, but that song is all about the grinding intro slowly growing louder and louder and if Sum 41 does have one thing in their locker, it is great intro's and the first 25 seconds of Motivation with the big, choppy chords and heavy drumming is just brilliant and to be fair the rest of the song isn't bad also.
Fat Lip, which is just about larking about as a teenager and getting punched in the mouth which looking at singer Deryck Whibley's face, must have happened quite a bit in his formative years, also has a good intro and that is the song which made their name, Wikipedia lists them as the 31st best selling Canadian Artists although that list probably makes more sense to Canadians, after the top 10 names i hardly knew any of them.
The lead singer dated Paris Hilton and married and divorced the 8th best selling Canadian artist, Avril Lavigne, and when you can call Avril Lavigne you ex-wife that is some impressive punching above your weight.  
There was a bit of a pop-punk explosion around the turn of the century with bands like Offspring and Blink 182 before Simon Cowell came along with his nonsense and put an end to it but we must be due another punk-pop renaissance soon...please.
