Despite mixed reviews, the album was a commercial success, peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard 200. The single, "Fat Lip" peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Tracks. In recent years, the album has received highly positive reviews, and has been praised as the album that gained the band success. The album has been considered by critics and fans as a pop punk classic, and has been considered one of the greatest pop punk albums of all time.

The album features lyrics with various subjects such as society, laziness, self-indulgence, and relationships. The album's title is considered to be a reference to the Jerry Lee Lewis album All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology.

Release

All Killer No Filler, which was Sum 41's first full-length album, was released on May 8, 2001.

"Fat Lip", the album's first single, achieved significant chart and commercial success; it topped the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart as well as many other charts around the world. The song remains the band's most successful song to date. After "Fat Lip", two more singles, entitled "In Too Deep" and "Motivation", were released from the album. "In Too Deep" peaked at #10 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, while "Motivation" peaked at #24 on the same chart. The album peaked at #13 on the Billboard 200 chart and at #9 on the Top Canadian Albums chart.

Two of the album's songs, namely "Fat Lip" and "In Too Deep", were featured in the film American Pie 2. The song "Summer" was originally released on Half Hour of Power, but was re-recorded for All Killer No Filler.

On April 6, 2011 a special edition of the album was released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of All Killer No Filler, exclusive to Japan.[7]

Musical Style

The album's style has been described as pop punk, punk rock, rapcore, and skate punk. The band has mentioned Blink-182, NOFX, Pennywise and The Offspring as major influences for the album's sound. The album also has been described as a more polished and radio-friendly album than their previous release, Half Hour Of Power. The band has mentioned Green Day as their main influence for the album. "I was about 14 when ‘Dookie’ came out," Deryck Whibley recalls. "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 instant fan."

Reception and Legacy

The album was a commercial success, and was certified platinum in the United States, Canada and in the UK.

The success of the album brought the band touring offers with mainstream pop punk bands like Blink-182 and The Offspring. The band spent much of 2001 touring; they played over 300 concerts that year before returning to the studio to record another album. They took the last week of the tour off due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. They later rescheduled the canceled shows.

All Killer No Filler received a mixed reception at the time of its release. The album was praised for its catchy hooks, but criticized for its unoriginality. At the time, most critics dismissed the band as a band riding on the coattails of the success of pop punk.

Retrospective reviews for All Killer No Filler have given the album high praise. The album's change in critical reviews has been believed to be because of the band's success following the album's release. Allmusic said "It would be a mistake to view Sum 41 as just another second-rate band cashing in on the early-'00s punk-pop boom, even if it did recruit Jerry Finn to produce All Killer No Filler." Top40.com ranked the album as the 9th greatest pop punk album of all time.

The album has been considered a classic, and a staple in the pop punk genre.
