Album Review

The members of Simple Plan don't have anything new to say, but at least it sounds like they're having a good time saying it. They're so full of pep and energy that they even seem to be having fun even when they're singing "God must hate me" or proclaiming that "life is a nightmare." Granted, they sing mostly about typical adolescent trauma — their philosophy is best expressed in "I'm Just a Kid" when they bemoan that "the world is having more fun than me" — but they do seem to have the knack for putting these issues into words. Simple Plan doesn't break any new ground and doesn't stay revved on all cylinders all the time. This probably won't move you if you consider bands such as blink-182 and Sum 41 to be too mainstream for your tastes, and you might also be disappointed if you're searching for the perfect pop record. But if you're interested in an unpretentious collection of reasonably catchy and energetic songs, then you might want to consider this album.

BEST MUSIC EVER!!!

these guys r BRILLIANT! the songs tell you everything wrong with the world, plus they have the veryveryveryvery weird song "my alien" and, my personal fave, the great "I'm just a kid" Keep on rockin'!

Great Record!

I love this record! It is simple plan's best offering to date. The songs are catchy and fun and the lyrics talk about stuff that actually matters to the average teen! We need more bands like simple plan!

Je t'aime, Simple Plan, Je t'aime!

As a bilingual Canadian citizen (My first language is English) I am so thrilled to see members of the Francophone portion of out nation step up-but SP has done so much more. This album is truly breathtaking....sounds and all.
