. In a November 2004 interview, Deryck Whibley said: "We don't even consider ourselves punk. We're just a rock band. We want to do something different. We want to do our own thing. That's how music has always been to us." Dave Baksh reiterated Whibley's claims, stating "We just call ourselves rock... It's easier to say than punk, especially around all these fuckin' kids that think they know what punk is. Something that was based on not having any rules has probably one of the strictest fucking rule books in the world." The band's style has been disputed by fans because of the complex combination of different musical styles and the more mature, serious, and heavy sound on later albums. The band's EP '' Half Hour of Power'' is described as pop punk and skate punk. '' All Killer No Filler'' was described as pop punk and skate punk (except for "Pain for Pleasure", which is purely heavy metal). ''Does This Look Infected?'' has been described as punk rock, pop punk melodic hardcore, horror punk, and heavy metal. ''Chuck'' was getting heavier opting out the original pop punk sound with a heavy metal sound, but the band kept in touch with its punk rock and melodic hardcore roots, which created an even more mature sound than the group's previous effort. Critics have described ''Underclass Hero'' as a revival of the band's pop punk style. ''Screaming Bloody Murder'' and ''13 Voices'' saw the band return to some alternative metal influences. Some of the band's songs contain political-social commentary; "
