Well it's been a little while since Screaming Bloody Murder did virtually nothing...Wondering what you guys think the 2nd single will be? "Baby You Don't Wanna Know" was released as the 2nd single in Canada, and soon Germany, so I think that'll be a strong contender. Personally though, I'd rather see "Blood In My Eyes" or "Jessica Kill", then they could attempt to send "What Am I To Say?" to Pop (Probably be unsuccessful, but worth a try.)
Anyway, anyone like the album? I think it's really good, and I'd put it above Underclass Hero, but below Chuck.

I'm surprised "Screaming Bloody Murder" didn't do better. "Jessica Kill" has been getting some airplay for awhile now, but I doubt they do anything major from this era.

This album didn't seem to have many memorable songs that screamed single material to me as it's very dark and more meaningful than other releases. I'm not saying that;s the reason that "Screaming Bloody Murder" bombed, but it's a thought.

I'm not saying that;s the reason that "Screaming Bloody Murder" bombed, but it's a thought. It's definitely a lot more progressive for them, although I think in some ways they were trying to imitate the formula of My Chemical Romance. Even still, I think "Jessica Kill" and "What Am I To Say" would make good single options. In a pinch, "Skumfuk" and "Blood In My Eyes" are also pretty catchy and strong songs. It doesn't really help that two of the fourteen songs are an intro and outro with a three-part suite smack in the middle. Still, I feel like I can lay most of the blame for this fiasco at Island's doorstep.

What Am I To Say is the 2nd single in Germany (it's already out)
The musicvideo for SBM was shot some months ago and it's edited and all finished, but it's not getting released, legal issues I think. There is a lot of killing going on in the video with an Avril lookalike shooting a machine gun... If that one had been leaked weeks ago they might have gotten some attention, now it's too late.
for Baby You Don't Wanna Know they shot some video in Germany some days ago, probably a no-budget one, without support from Island Record,who really don't do anything at all for Sum41. I don't think they sign a new contract with IR after this.

I'm not 100% sure but after the greatest hits album last year I think SBM was the last one with IR

Really hope they do get a new label. Honestly, I guess the label didn't even want to make the album as long as it was, so Deryck had to use his own money to produce the last couple tracks i guess. Makes me feel bad, they're such a talented band.
Some kid the other day was telling me "Yeah, I liked Sum 41 up until they started doing the rapping thing. I thought that was dumb." I'm like. That was their first album. xD

Yeah. The last song with rapping they ever did was "It's What We're All About".

Technically, Fat Lip is the last song they did with rapping, considering It's What We're All About was on Half Hour of Power and it was only a remade version in 2002 for the Spider-man soundtrack.

The remake was way different though. And it's still the last one released.

Makes me feel bad, they're such a talented band. they probably go on a small hiatus after this (never ending)tour, Steve became father 2 months ago, Tom wants to finish the GOB album and Deryck has some personal problems he needs to work on so they have probably enough time to decide and find the best record label for them

I haven't even listened to it.

Well I guess they had issues with the label, so the music video for "Screaming Bloody Murder" will go unreleased.
However, they recently shot a music video for this in Germany. No SPECIFIC announcement saying it'll be a single here as well, but it's at least the Canadian single, and with the release of the Music Video I wouldn't doubt it'll be the single here as well (Maybe they just realize that it'll get almost no airplay with the failure of SBR)
Quite a bummer, I really enjoyed this album. :/

music video premieres tomorrow sum41 had to pay for it, so the budget was really low and there is a 40min documentary of the "recording process" called "Don't try this at home" you can watch for free www.sum41.com/dttah/index.html

Deryck threw out his back at a concert I guess. So they're cancelling the rest of their Warped dates, AGAIN.
Really sad this guy can't catch a break. Starting to think this'll be the last album for awhile.

Yeah, unfortunately I think that's going to be the case too :( The guy's had some pretty crappy last few years with injuries and his divorce. Sucks since he seems like such a nice guy in the interviews that I've seen.

Deryck's back injury is chronic, it's not going to ever get better, really he could get paralyzed any day He needs to better take care of himself, but sadly since the split he doesn't
They want(wanted) to keep touring till the end of 2012, not a good idea in my opinion. Deryck hates being at home but he clearly needs more days off

And Back Where I Belong? Yuck. Wish they'd play the better songs on the album. Jessica Kill. Btw, not impressed at all by that video.
