Sum 41 / SBM discussion

[RileSum]

Some one should ask Matt what the dealio is with the 12 minute song, is on the CD or is an exclusive?

Also soooooooo stoked on "Happiness Machines", i have feeling it's going to be my favorite track.

[Jeremy Kill]

though if the author of that blog really did listen to the album, wouldn't he catch skumfuk (with the longer intro thing) and not mention its absence?

I don't think he listened to the album once he got it before he posted the tracklist. This would lead me to believe that Skumfuk could be a hidden track? Makes sense to "hide" the deepcut of the album. Though, it would be kind of anti-climactic to do that, but then again not really if you expect it to not be on the album.

I'm actually kinda liking these titles a lot, however could Nic clarify something for me?
Was it Matt that told you about Skumfuk? So will it be basically the same song with a longer intro, mixed differently and with a different name? I really liked the name Skumfuk :( And its really wierd how at this stage that theyre still changing the titles.

1. Yes, he told me about it.
2. Yes, same song + intro type thing + mixed/mastered + i'm guessing new name.
3. I really liked the title Skumfuk a lot too.
4. They could of changed the title a while ago, not necessarily at "this stage".

I meant more along the lines of 'Over All', than Skumfuk. Is the new Skumfuk on that tracklist, or is it a 15th track?

Awesome Nic!!

This is why I spend an insane amount of time on tns!

TNS is my second family! I wuv you guyz.

Same here!

[TonyBergsma]

i kinda like the tracklist, but i still can't believe that they said like a half year ago we would get a 12 minute song within 2 weeks, we're a half year further still no 12 min song, kinda disappointing

but fuck yeahhh we've got SBM

[Gregorovich]

I think the new Skumfuk could either be What Am I to Say? or Over All/Now (Whatever it is).

Fuck sake, I'm trying to get to sleep but i know i cant cos then when i wake up ill have another 20 pages of topic to browse through.

I'm almost positive it is on the CD. I asked him which track it is, still waiting on a response.

[Jeremy Kill]

I don't think they would've changed the title to Skumfuk. I'll be surprised if they did though. I say this because last tour they've been going around introducing the song as "Skumfuk" and they're undoubtedly going to play it next weekend, so they'd have to introduce it as something else.

It just seems weird to me that they'd change the title of a song that they've been playing live for a while and one that everyone has pretty much gotten to know since July.

[Gutter Dreams]

i like the majority of the tracklist names, this albums gonna be sick!

[SumGeek]

I was just thinking about when we'll be getting a tracklist. We're getting closer!
I'm a little disppointed in the tracklisting cause some titles are very simple such as "The Crash", but sometimes the simplicity is best. Happiness Machines really stands out to me the most and probably the track I'm more excited to hear now besides The Crash & the 12 minute song.

[Mitchell]

Happiness Machines reminds me of Coca Cola

[Heather]

getting over my initial shock and looking at it longer...I like these titles the most
Reason To Believe, What Am I To Say, Happiness Machines

Exit Song is unbelievably boring, if thats the 12 min title I'm gonna scream bloody murder

and I'd actually prefer "The Crash" to "Crash"

[Queso Man]

"Crash" guys, not "The Crash"...

Big difference, really

[Jeremy Kill]

Funny how at the beginning of January we were moaning about having nothing and in less than three weeks we got a new single, release dates for the album and single and the tracklisting!

[Gregorovich]

it's clear Sum 41 still have that warped sense of humor they're renowned for. 'Happiness Machines' is the biggest sexual inuendo in music since Gaga's Disco Stick.

[Dylan]

"Happiness Machines" sounds like a mix of the titles of Our Lady Peace's albums "Happiness is not a fish you can catch" and "Spiritual Machines".

also, super bummed that skumfuck has a new title. now i really need that skumfuck shirt!

What can I say? I guess it's obvious we would end up this way.

[Volted]

deryck said there's only 2-3 songs about the divorce. which do you think they are? i'm thinking blood in my eyes, over now (or whatever it turns into), and/or all comes to an end. i'm also hoping there's at least one political or social issue related song in the album, though that song "ourselves we deceive" one that we heard might be considered that.

also with the lack of skumfuk title in the album, you're free to say "the skumfuk store called, they're running out of you"

[Pocket Monkey]

Happiness Machines reminds me of Happiness In Slavery, which had a creepy music video xD

Everyone is saying how its gonna be awesome xD imagine if it turns out its only the :50 track xD

[Heather]

I thought Nic just said Skumfuk is still a title, am I'm missing something here?
