Autopilot Off

Editor's Review:

Comparisons are the lazy man's description. Why put thought, feeling and personal opinion into something that can be synopsized in pop culture algebra? After all, nearly anything can be summarized by its influences. It'd certainly be easier to say that Autopilot Off should use the few chords they know to hang themselves, sparing the public another misshapen pop-punk clone before Jimmy Eats A Simple Plan. However, to solve this equation for Sum 41would be doing both musician and listener a gross disservice. Forgiving the occasional faltering grasp at depth, the band manages to craft one of the few non-saccharine / jingoistic September 11th-related pieces since that day, and wrap it with a decent ratio of killer to filler tracks. Overall, Autopilot Off's a cockpit tease: they've got something, but don't seem to know how to draw a dividing line between themselves and all the other artists with it.
