"Reign of Pain" is the story of Pain for Pleasure, the Canadian punk rock band's metal parody side project. The live footage was shot at an October 3 concert in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "It's a Pain for Pleasure documentary", explains guitarist Dave "Brownsound" Baksh, a.k.a. P4P's Pleasure, of the band that first appeared in the video for "Fat Lip", wearing wigs and spandex.

"Home Movies" features the same juvenile antics first seen on the promotional video that helped start a buzz among record labels; it tracks Sum 41 onstage, in a bathroom and robbing a pizzeria. Also included are personal bios, footage of drummer Steve "Stevo 32" Jocz's arrest, live concert footage and a Destiny's Child debate.

Three new songs can be heard in the "Pain for Pleasure" section: "Reign of Pain", "WWVII Part 1" and "WWVII Part 2". "Me and Dave think they're really funny and no one else will", Jocz says of the World War-themed tunes. "We think there's enough songs about World War III. We're just going to jump ahead a few centuries."

"Lucifer Recommends", named after the production company Sum 41's then manager Greig Nori formed with frontman Deryck Whibley, endorses new Island/Def Jam signing Autopilot Off. The Orange County band was given to Nori to produce before the label allowed him to record Sum's Does This Look Infected?. Two APO songs, "Long Way to Fall" and "Nothing Frequency", are included along with "Short Fuse" and "Ill Blood" from No Warning, a young Canadian hardcore punk band, and Lucifer's first signing.

<i>Half Hour of Power</i> 2000 EP by Sum 41

Half Hour of Power is the debut extended play by Canadian rock band Sum 41. It was released on June 27, 2000 on Big Rig Records, a subsidiary of Island Records, and Aquarius Records (Canada). The cover features the band's then-drummer Steve Jocz aiming a Nerf gun up in the air and standing in front of an explosion in the background. Though officially an EP, Half Hour of Power may also be considered the band's debut studio album. Most of the songs featured on the EP were included as bonus tracks on Sum 41's actual debut studio album All Killer No Filler (2001), which featured a re-recorded version of Half Hour of Power's sixth track "Summer". This is the second of three times that this song was featured on a Sum 41 album. It first appeared on their 1998 demo tape. The group originally planned to include different versions of the song on each of their albums as a joke, but scrapped the idea after All Killer No Filler, as they felt that it would annoy their fanbase.
