Sum 41 were always the darlings of the pop-punk world, taking their metal influences and packaging them up into a radio friendly, mildly anarchic but overall inoffensive package. As the band grew older, they tried to move further from their punk roots and move towards a heavier, more mature sound. Their 3rd album, Chuck, was released and was their heaviest release leaning more on the metal they wanted to play than what their fans wanted to hear. We're All To Blame is a mournful, melancholic attempt at a grown up ballad about the state of this world we live in. The problem is, the song doesn't know what it wants to be. In its heavier moments it sounds like Slayer and Metallica, then drops to acoustic-y ballad territory which sounds more like Sum 41, but still somehow sounds wrong. The problem is, frontman Deryk Whibley is not a metal singer, so when it's heavy he doesn't fit and the lyrics for the quieter sections are simply ineffective in communicating his point. It's unsurprising that the fanbase hated it and it split them right down the middle.
