Their latest album Does this look infected? Is a fantastic piece of art and doesn't indulge very much with the happy kiddy punk pop of Blink 182.
But Blink 182 are just so funny and their songs that do move you REALLY do move you.
Hope the self titled album lives up to expectations.
My view, both equally fantastic... depends if you want to have a laugh and get depressed (Blink) or have a laugh and discuss the world (sum 41).
Blink 182 are/were better, but both really do rubbish stuff.
Blink are good, but I cant keep up with all this band changing stuff!
Both bands suck and have yet to reach puberty and experience a voice change. Sum 41 are nearly as bad as Busted and have no imagination in their lyrics, WHATSOEVER.
Blink 182 stink up all the sets they perform on, with a bland mix of unimaginitive love songs that fight to even retain a rythm.
They both lose to "the fast food rockers".
And thats BAD, believe me...
Not the Sum 41 we knew from All Killer No filler that's for certain. And even then to put them in the same vein as the likes of Busted... a single rhytmed band is a overreactive way to act.
Blink 182's imagintive pop punk took what Greenday started and turned it into an evolution. All you want to do when you see them live is laugh your socks off and jump... and not to stop jumping. I know I've seen them. They are good fun and despite half their songs being about relationships they do manage to stun us with the likes of Stay together for the kids and Adam's Song and Tom Delongs Box Car Race remains to this day my favourite band.
Travis is one of the best drummers in the world, and the parnership between Tom and Mark are fantastic. Poppy yes.... but not pop... oh no.
Blink 182 certainly had a good drummer and partnership, but they became monotonous and in many peoples' opinion pop(py). Box Car Racer were undoubtedly very good, at first. In my opinion they were a one hit wonder and deteriated at the rate of Bacteria multiplying.
Although I have not really seen either around in recent times, Blink 182 did start to look up a bit with the formation of Box Car Racer.
I can only assume that Blink 182 fell into the pit of one hit wonders, such as OPM and Limp Bizkit.
