Originally released in 2007, the fourth album (or fifth, depending on whether you consider Half Hour Of Power to be their debut full-length) from Canadian pop-punk mainstays Sum 41 marked their first of two as a trio, with lead guitarist Dave "Brownsound" Baksh departing during this era to focus on his own Brown Brigade project. Following on from the heavily thrash-metal indebted mature left turn of Chuck, which began in earnest with the metallic early The Offspring vibe of Does This Look Infected?, while losing their axeman who brought so many of the face-melting guitar solos that peppered those LPs, Underclass Hero offered somewhat of a revert to the more jovial pop-punk found on their earlier work, yet elevated by the seasoned writing chops acquired over time. Making up for their whittled down line up with extensive use of acoustic guitars, synthesisers and a more expansive sonic scope, many have since compared the material to that of Green Day's American Idiot or My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade in terms of theatricality and concept. Clocking in at a lengthy (by punk standards) 52 minutes, and boasting some of the band's most dynamic and emotive cuts such as the emo-tinged longtime fan favourite 'Walking Disaster' as well as the anthemic opening title-track, Sum 41's near two decade old pop punk rock opera attempt deserves major reappraisal offered by this lush fluorescent pink swirl vinyl reissue, arriving just as the band gear up to unveil their swan song LP Heaven :x: Hell this March before embarking on their final run of shows.
