Order in decline

"Although it bloats in places where some of the songs do not quite hit the mark, Order In Decline is a fine new effort from SUM 41. We mentioned at the start of this review that nostalgia can be a double-edged sword, but here, SUM 41 show no signs of relying on their successes of years gone by, instead they channel their collective energy and come out swinging with arguably their strongest album of recent years".

"There's little ambiguity here and, compared to their earlier work, it's a refreshing evolution and maturation. That a group of Canadian punks would be the voices of reason in 2019 is a wonder in itself; that they've delivered one of the most accomplished albums in their catalog this late in their careers is another".

"The punkier passages are tighter and faster, while the more metal-edged riffs hit like a hammer. Taken as a whole, it's the hardest and heaviest album they've ever made, and across its 10 tracks, it's also Sum 41 at their most creative and willing to explore their frontiers ... The evolution continues, and it remains an impressive thing indeed".
