A band whose 1st album came out in 2001. It is their most known album. Due to it being pop-punk, many musically inclined people disliked the band and swore them off right there as talentless, despite "Pain for Pleasure" a metal song, likely an Iron Maiden tribute.
They have 5 albums. In them, Sum 41 has a different sound in each album. Their 2nd album is pop-punk with a little alt metal. Their 3rd album has 2 punk songs amidst melodic hardcore, alt metal, metal, and 2 quiet songs, the band cited Metallica as an influence for this album. (They have also played a full length Master of Puppets cover.) The bands 4th album went back to their roots, stripping the metal influence. This album is pop-punk. Their 5th album is closer to a sequel to their third, with much louder vocals and much better instrumental parts. It is an alt metal/alt rock album with punk influence. Their third and fifth albums also have many shifts from soft to loud within songs. They have songs that include all 4 members on vocals, and utilize a lot of vocal harmony.
Basically, this band isn't groundbreaking most of the time, but they go into a lot of music and pull it off well. Most people write them off due to their first album or think they are copying Metallica, Oasis, Green Day, Blink-182, Linkin Park, etc.

Get the Sum 41 mug.An internet rule popularized via motivational poster that states that something needs more desu, no exceptions.

Get the Rule 41 mug.They're a pop rock band, influenced by punk, metal and rap.
They never claimed to be 'punk' so all you petty losers can stop your bitching.
Just because a band has an army of teeny fans doesn't detract from the fact that their music is actually...pretty damn good.

Get the sum 41 mug."Like I don't think footjob is gross if the girls feet are clean, but I wouldn't ask for it. If the lassie whipped it out and used it sparingly that would be kinda cool. Diversity"

Get the Isaiah 41:13 mug.The retail version of the Red Orchestra Mod. Estimated release in January 2006. It is to be distributed on Steam. Highly anticipated, its going to be the most realistic WW2 game to date.
Red Orchestra Ostfront 41-45 is going to be even better than the mod version and its going to blow the socks off of any other WWII game.

Get the 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 mug.SUM 41 is a commercially driven modern rock band created by someone or a group of people who choose to use bright colors and flashy lights in videos and on people as a vehicle for their advertising. Ideal MTV band.
Oh my god I feel a lot better now that I've loaded every single SUM 41 .mp3 onto my yellow iPod that perfectly matches my LIVE STRONG bracelet and my yellow "brimmed-beanie".
