All Killer No Filler, the debut album from Canadian punk upstarts Sum 41, blasted out on May 8, 2001, and the title is half joke, half dare. Jerry Finn produced it, and he gives the band a punchy, bright-as-a-skate-park sound: Deryck Whibley's snotty lead vocals out front, Dave Baksh ripping out guitar leads that flirt openly with metal, Jason McCaslin's bass bouncing underneath, and Steve Jocz drumming like he's been mainlining energy drinks.
"Fat Lip" is the calling card, a mash of pop-punk chorus and bratty rap-rock verses that sounds like three different bands fighting over the same microphone and somehow all winning. "In Too Deep" is the sunnier, poppier cousin. There's nothing deep going on here, and that's exactly the point.
The critics were split, but the kids voted with their wallets: it reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200, went platinum in the US, Canada and the UK, and "Fat Lip" went all the way to No. 1 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart.
