Sum 41 Half Hour of Power (Island Records) Sum 41 shows off a decent sense of humor on its new album, “Half Hour of Power.” Unfortunately, it’s supposed to be a band, not a stand-up comedy troupe. The album starts off with a satiric poke at Satanic-themed heavy metal with “Grab the Devil by the Horns and **** Him up the ***.” The band redoes a pack of familiar-sounding 1980s thrash metal riffs over a wordless minute, which, combined with the title, clearly skewers the excesses of the genre that spawned Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer. The rest of Sum 41’s album is not quite as clever.

It is truly amazing when a film captures the audience members’ collective heart; when every person sitting in the theater can’t help but feel all the trivial pains and pleasures put forth in the story. Unfortunately for audiences everywhere, this only occurs once in a great while. However, it did in many theaters this weekend when writer and director Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous” caught its first batches of well-deserved attention. The movie, Crowe’s first film since his double Academy Award-nominated “Jerry Maguire,” is set in one of rock ’n’ roll’s most cardinal eras, the 1970s - back when everything was on vinyl.
