[
edit
]
The album's style has been described as
pop punk
[4]
[5]
[6]
and
skate punk
.
[7]
NOFX
's album
Punk in Drublic
was a considerable influence on the album.
[8]
Sum 41's vocalist/rhythm guitarist
Deryck Whibley
cites
Rancid
,
Elvis Costello
,
the Beatles
, and
Pennywise
as influences on
All Killer No Filler
.
[9]
The band has mentioned
Green Day
as their main influence for the album. "I was about 14 when
Dookie
came out," Whibley says. "I remember seeing the video for '
Basket Case
' for the first time... It had so much energy and it was so different. I'd never seen anything like it before. From then I was an instant fan."
[10]
Absolutepunk
described the album as "the album that your parents don't want you to discover at age 11 when you're just starting to think that school is bullshit and the only thing that really matters is that ridiculously cute girl who honestly treats you like shit", as well as adding "The lyrics are broad enough that everyone can relate to them, but specific enough that each song makes you think of a certain person or situation in your life. The perfect balance".
[11]
Drummer
Steve Jocz
wrote "Pain for Pleasure" in 10 minutes while he was on the toilet.
[12]
The song, sung by Jocz, is an homage to the style of
Iron Maiden
.
[13]
During performances, the band takes on costumes and persona in that style.

From the initial success of the album,
Deryck Whibley
stated that it led him to "immediate embarrassment" stating that "I've always felt it wasn't that great, if I'm being honest," and "I never quite understood - to a point where it's almost like, when people tell me it means a lot to them or it was a really good album compared to other records, I always think they're lying."
[22]
Reception and commercial performance
[
edit
]
Despite initially receiving mixed reviews in 2001, the album has received retrospective acclaim in more recent years.
