Sum41 2009 - Studio Videos
"Whats excited me most about this new music that I've been writing is that it feels like its a new direction but its not losing what people like about Sum41 I think it still has our energy I think we're pushing ourselves in new directions that we've never gone before"
"50% of the material that I've written in the past month, I really like
which is good because normally I only like 10%"
"because the last record being so personal it enabled me to express myself in a way I've always wanted to but had never been able to do before. So now I feel like I'm able to explain the things that use to be hard to explain"
"to win you can't really feel the prospect of failure.
And opinions they aren't even worth the paper they're written on"
"I think one of the things I like about this band is for the most part is if we have success with something or don't we don't ever really try to exactly re-write it the same we just try to repeat it, we just do what we feel like doing, if you look at our singles, fat lip, still waiting, pieces, we're all to blame, in too deep, hell song, they're all completely sound different there so many different things that have happen that have colored my view of existence and I think thats what comes out in my music unintitonally just the things that happen in everybody's life will come out in what they do especially if you're a creative person its going to come out in your own creativity."

"i have some completely written songs but we don't have any "completely" recorded songs yet. we're still in the early stages of putting ideas together. and as far as which album it sounds like, it doesn't sound like any particular album. i can tell you so far it's darker and more aggressive than previous stuff. it's pretty in your face, balls to the walls, fast aggressive rock music. it's much more intense than UH. i can put it that way. there's a lot of guitar playing on the new songs as well. and i don't mean noodling for the sake of noodling. it's hard to explain i guess. but having said all that it's still so early in the process that some things can change and some songs may not make it on the album at all. you never know at this point. it's just too early to tell right now. not sure if that gives you any idea but that's probably the best way i can describe the new songs i'm writing right now."

"it's not really like any of them. i'm still writing so it's not finished yet.
but so far it's a lot bigger sounding than those records. it's much more than anything we've ever done. it's definitely heavy but i wouldn't call it a metal record. it's so hard for me to explain it at this point. i hope to be done writing soon."
