Chuck by Sum 41
Chuck is an album by Sum 41, released in 2004. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 33 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Pieces”, on 17 lists and voted number one once.
Chuck, Sum 41's third album, came out on October 12, 2004, and the Ajax, Ontario band came back from a war zone sounding like different people. They had been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo shooting a documentary for War Child Canada when fighting broke out, and a volunteer UN peacekeeper named Chuck Pelletier, staying at the same hotel, helped get them out. The album is named for him.
The songs are darker and more grown-up, with Greig Nori producing and Deryck Whibley, Dave Baksh, Jason McCaslin and Steve Jocz bolting punk rock and melodic hardcore onto heavy metal heft. "We're All to Blame" and "Pieces" were the singles that carried it. It reached number 2 in Canada and number 10 in the US, won the Juno for Rock Album of the Year, and was Baksh's last album before he quit in 2006.
