Well, that's your thing. I agree on Billy Spleen being filler track (as are quite a few DTLI tracks), but it just makes absolutely no sense with Scumfuck.kILLDR3n wrote:That's how I view it I mean. I've always ignored Billy Spleen on DTLI (who doesn't?) and this song will probably be the same for me when the album releases.Simon wrote:You couldn't be more wrong. They said it's a deep cut and that alone disproves you statement. Besides, why would any song on the new album have to be a filler when Deryck spent so much time writing more than he needed?kILLDR3n wrote:Yeah Scumfuck is definitely a filler song. Its on the level of Billy Spleen.
The circumstances under which DTLI was done can in no way be compared to this other than acknowledging it's on a completely different level.

Re: the truth
It's hard to say with Scumfuck since it was almost cut from the album anyway. It either could've been cut for not fitting in with the album musically (style and everything) or that it just wasn't that good. But it stayed on the album or whatever reason.
I doubt this album will have any such filler as Billy Spleen though. I skip that song as well and I'd rather listen to Scumfuck.
The thing I like about Scumfuck is how laid back it is. It starts off with the drums and some feedback. You can hear the fingers on the strings. Then Deryck comes in with the "Yeeeah!" Nothing really sounds forced, unlike some songs on Underclass Hero. It just seemed like some songs from that album were too polished and thought-out. This song just seems more natural.

Re: the truth
For some reason the chorus of Billy Spleen is what really brings back memories of first listening to Does This Look Infected?. All the other songs don't have that effect on me. I don't mind the chorus, but the rest of the song I can live without.FuckT41182 wrote:I don't ...a year ago,there was a time when I've listened to Billy Spleen everyday more than 20 times ...I really like the song ...kILLDR3n wrote:I've always ignored Billy Spleen on DTLI (who doesn't?)

Yeah, what's that about? Same here.Jeremy Kill wrote: For some reason the chorus of Billy Spleen is what really brings back memories of first listening to Does This Look Infected?. All the other songs don't have that effect on me.
Skumfuk might not make the album though, they're only calling it a "potential song from Sum 41's new album Screaming Bloody Murder" on the new video they made for it.
I love Billy Spleen, went through a similar phase with it last year too! I particularly like the last chorus where the octave chords become more audible. Skumfuk is excellent aswell, really cool production and the vocals are on another level
