Sum 41 — Half Hour Of Power

Gob, say hello to your competition, Sum 41. These teenagers have nicked the recipe for pop-punk pleasure that's reminiscent of Vancouver's silly pranksters: Spit out the tunes so fast and furious that the kids won't know what hit 'em. Still, could there be anything on here that's different and more insanely catchy than your standard Blink 182/gob fare? Here's hoping these talented kids can distinguish themselves away from the pack. But all the young hooligans will eat this up with a big spoon. Points though, on including some pretty hard and cheesy metal riffs, a la Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Put a smile on my face.
