Canadian rock veterans Sum 41 have dropped their fifth album and relative newbies Jonas Brothers are on to round two. We've got the 411 on both albums.

Sum 41 - Underclass Hero

Sum 41's fifth studio album, Underclass Hero, has just hit shelves and has already broken into Billboard's top 10. The pop-punk album breaks away from Sum 41's younger, rawer sound, but struggles to replace it with a cohesive new one. The one standout track is the ballad So Long Goodbye, which is bound to get a ton of radio play. However, Sum 41's copycat sound (think Blink-182 meets The Black Parade meets lame) is mostly disappointing.

Sum 41 - Underclass Hero Fun Facts

  • The title Underclass Hero is in reference to [KWLINK 1717]John Lennon's hit song, Working Class Hero.
  • This is Sum 41's longest album to date (49 minutes).
  • This is the first Sum 41 album to be released without guitarist Dave Baksh, who left the band in 2006.

    Jonas Brothers - Jonas Brothers

    The Jonas Brothers' sophomore album shows a more polished side of the Jonas boys, compared to their first album It's About Time. Their sound is parent-friendly (no trash talking from these Christian boys) and catchy. If you're a rock devotee, these guys could be too tame for your tastes, but if you're looking for the male equivalent of Hannah Montana, you've just found your boys!
