Does the Look Infected is Sum 41's greatest creation and makes them a more mature heavier band.

Blink 182 the self titled album has turned Blink into a meaningful band.

Both absolutly fantastic.

Limp Bizkit's latest album lyrics are a tad iffy. REd Light Green light is VERY dodgy but Lonely world is fantastic, Nobody knows the reason why inside a lonely world, no one can hear me when I cry inside a lonely world.

Great.

And Eat You Alive is the best example of confused male feelings EVER. Screaming "i'll eat you alive" before declaring that he wants to "just look at you all day, there aint nothing wrong with that"...

Confused... fantastic.

All the kiddy rock bands have re-invented themselves and well done to it.

Fred Durst is a changed dude.

the difference between blink 182 and sum41 is that

blink are good song writers posing to be a joke band sometimes, where as sum41 are actually a joke of a band!

Sum 41 are quite good but in my opinion, Blink are way better. Some of the old stuff is fantastic. :D The new album is alright although I'm not sure if its as good as what they've done before yet...

I can't believe no one has commented on Blinks new album in this thread yet. I never really liked Sum but now hearing Blinks new album it's more like Sum Forty WHO ? (that wasn't a misspelling of 'One')

Blinks old material was excellent I think but they're new heavier feel is just awesome.

Other songs and attitudes in general. It's just treading the same path they've trodden before. About violence/hatred etc.

No, Blink and Sum41, when in reflective moods are like Limp Bizkit etc. But better. Cliche angst/pain/suffering, and while effective, not much new. So from other songs really.

As Sibs said. 'Pop' is deemed a dirty word, but I don't care. Zwan are pop-rock, and yet have far more invention and skill than any 'hardcore' rock band. Blink 182 and Sum41 are pop-punk, as they package it in a far more accessible way. Other bands like, oo, Zeke, I'd classify them as punk full on.

I would say they are neither punk or punk rock... If bands like the Descendents are pop-punk (as the majority of their fans would probably agree) then Blink are certainly pop-punk. You might care to disagree over Sum41, quite frankly I don't know, I haven't heard much/any of their newer material which is supposedly heavier, but when they initially 'got big' all the most popular songs were pop-punk really... Anyway, my opinion, genres mean different things to different people, the boundries between all the various sub-genres of punk have become increasingly blurred, so not much point in arguing over it anyways...
