Query: trying to hard

when i listened to this cd, i had to lower my standards because sum 41 has always been horrible. i tried my hardest to like this album, but nothing short of the end of the world could make me like it. it seems like they were trying too hard to be different from their last two albums rather than make a good album. i gave this cd 2 stars only because its (sadly) their best album ever, and that isnt saying much
