All Killer No Filler is the first studio album by the Canadian rock band Sum 41, released on May 8, 2001. It was certified platinum in the United States, Canada and in the UK.
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.
"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 were released from the album: "In Too Deep" and "Motivation". "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. While critical reception was mixed, 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. Two songs, "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 the album.
