Análisis (en inglés) - AMG :
It would be a mistake to view Sum 41 as just another second-rate band cashing in on the early-'00s punk-pop boom, even if it did recruit Jerry Finn to produce All Killer No Filler. Just as Finn had done for both blink-182 and Green Day, he charges Sum 41's punk-pop with a razor-sharp edge, the sort of dynamic in-your-face sound that helps this music cross over to MTV and radio so well. Besides the notable production, a lot of credit should go to the band as well. Its songwriting is obviously more diverse here than it was a year earlier on its debut album, Half Hour of Power; for example, the group's rap and '80s metal influences rise to the surface more frequently here than on that first album and instill a fun sense of camp. "Fatlip" is perhaps the best example of how Sum 41 has made an effort to diversify the music with more than just power chords and melodic punk vocals. Judging from this album, Sum 41 still isn't quite on the same level as alt-rock peers such as Weezer or Green Day, but the band is obviously headed in the right direction. In the meantime, it's difficult not to enjoy this album for what it is, even if it's a bit derivative. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music GuideAnálisis (en inglés) - Yahoo! Music - Rob O'Connor :
Someday when you are horribly, horribly old, you will examine those aching knees and wonder how you once slam-danced for hours to this youthful blare. Your hearing aid will be the only thing you still turn to 11. Your teeth will glisten in the glass next to you. You will dawdle off to the "entertainment room" of whatever state facility your family so kindly chose for you. The surly young whippersnappers who man the entertainment unit will help you choose something to listen to. Among the dog-eared copies of Green Day, Pennywise, and some latter-day Ramones album (all the good ones long stolen and Ebay-ed) will be a copy of this Sum 41 album. What little you will still be able to hear will sound pretty much indistinguishable from everything else you once liked. Because you're now half-senile, because the music was a byproduct of youth, and because it does sound like everything else you once liked. Maybe you'll think "pretty harmony" here and there. But chances are you'll think, won't someone change my diaper, please?
