Sum 41 mixes comedy and song on inconsistent album
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 rest of Sum 41’s album is not quite as clever.
