Been obsessing over Sum 41 lately. I remember listening to 88 like in primary 5 and I fell in love with them and with the lyrics that didnt make sense at that time. Like what the hell did "take this aggravation that I've thrown myself into" mean right. Hahah. Then I remember downloading Chuck and deleting all the screamish songs cos I was intimidated by Deryck's screaming voice. Lol whadda noob.
Anyway, I redownloaded Chuck like 9 years later and am loving every single song they made. The album was named Chuck after this UN officer, Charles, who helped the band evacuate their hotel when there was fighting going on. (SO MAJORLY BADASS) So there's this anti-war theme going on in their album and I am loving it to death man. War is everywhere you guys; in third world countries, up in the states, in our connections with people, in our very hearts.
