    This is one of simple plans best albums. As a whole this album is complete but my only complaint is that the lyrics is a little cliche but overall it's good

    Trust me when I say I'm not a troll, I've seen these guys live and I own every album (including this one sadly), but this album was a mess. Yes it kept partially with their past sound, but the singing and instrumentation was overly bubblegum pop that anyone in today's music could of made this album. I've put this in my stereo system ONCE, for the $13 I spent on it.

Past Simple Plan CD's have so many scratches on them from overplay that you would think it was a video game that i was pissed off at lol.
    But overall bad album, hope there next one is much better. Don't really get the hype of the album, only one song stood out "This Song Saved My Life".

    Let me just say that Simple Plan blew this one out of the water. Nearly every song was exceptional and catchy, although a lot of backing vocals had to be used in the process. Overall, well done, Simple Plan!

    Feels like a clone of No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls but with more pop elements, but it is done so well that this can be forgiven, also, No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls was their best album so I don't mind it being so familiar. Overall, it's another great album by Simple Plan which is definitely worth a listen if you are a fan of the genre.

    It may not be rocket science, but there is an art to doing this right and Simple Plan have once again pulled it off. [18 Jun 2011, p.52]

    This is still above average dude rock from the Canadian five-piece.

    The pop-punkers too often distract from adenoidal loud-and-proud angst-athons. [24 Jun 2011, p.75]
