Title: 2 1/2 stars - too close to major influences
Review: an -oki- CD too much of it is ripped off however, and regurgated into this album repeatedly. it is very unoriginal, they dont stray very much from their influences at all. throughout this CD you can hear riffs taken from the likes of Metallica, Iron Maiden, a bit NOFX sounding too, and even Def Leppard.So if you were to compliment the guitar work, well alot of the riffs weren't even theirs, let alone their guitar skill is below par.However including a DVD was a nice thing for them to do, so that bumps my score up a bit, but alot of the stuff on the DVD was a bit poor, but it being included for free was something nice and only can add to my score.Not -too- bad of a CD, but totally unoriginal. and many blatant rip-offs of riffs. We all know sum 41 really like Iron Maiden, Metallica and such, but ripping riffs straight from them isn't doing them justice.
