    The release does establish Simple Plan as on e of the most consistent acts making music today. [Feb 2008, p.109]

    The group's third full-length album, the simply titled Simple Plan, offers glimpses of something more, but invariably falls into to the same old pattern.
  3. The A.V. Club

    Think Lavigne's "Girlfriend" without the hooks, but with a discernable degree of emo introspection.

    I read in the last album reviews, people saying Simple Plan is a band for girls. It's not true I been a fan of them for awhile, they have great music. People who going to be a bully and say mean things should just leave this area and get a life cause Simple Plan and their fans(like me) don't care how much you like them.… Expand

    I got to listen to the album personally. I expected to be blown away from how much it'd suck and be the repetitive drenching pop the latter ones were. Instead, I actually saw some form of change in the band. A few songs were good, the others took the whole basis of the singer's self-worth over anyone else. "Why is everybody complaining?" cries Pierre in just about every single song, like he's not part of the problems surrounding him. And please don't tell me the album's good because "they made it to be this way", because I'll just tell you you've become a fanboy or fangirl of a generic pop culture. Good SOUND doesn't make good music. Simple Plan's still a teen girl band for girls who need attention their parents clearly don't.… Expand

    An album for the sake of an album. A new attempt at some strange shell of a once great genre called punk. The album is completely uninteresting, and downright mind-numbing at times.… Expand
