Title track of Sum 41's fifth album and its first single, "Screaming Bloody Murder" finally surfaced in 2011, months after its planned August 2010 release. The song started life in another band's camp: Tom Thacker wrote it under the working title "Panic Attack" for Gob's Muertos Vivos, and when it missed the cut there, Deryck Whibley tore it down, rearranged it and recut it as a Sum 41 track.
It's the first Sum 41 single with guitarist Tom Thacker aboard, yet the twist is that Whibley, producing it himself, played every guitar on it alone. Tom Lord-Alge handled the mix, Island put it out, and the result is a melodic-hardcore bruiser that sounds like a band spoiling for a fight.
