    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.

    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

    I have been a devoted fan of sp since i came accross their first album. It saddens me to say their music has deteroited to nothing but artificially manufactured noise in this album. In my opiniom its their weakest effort to date.

    It is Simple Plan going pop, which provides some catchy moments. But musically, talent-wise? It is still Simple Plan. And that means endless cliches and overused phrases for lyrics...but isn't that what this entire genre has become? Personally, I enjoyed the album but I also am aware that it is only because I have listened to Simple Plan from the start, and have developed a taste for them. Plus, it is a far cry from their previous album "Still Not Getting Any". I wouldn't necessarily expect others to see the good in them, especially if this is the first Simple Plan CD they've heard.… Expand

    As a 13 year old girl, I can really relate to the lyrics. Simple Plan understands me! They know what I'm going through. No it's not a little strange these 20-something men are writing about stuff that a 13 year old girl wants to hear. Simple Plan is hardcore guys!

    A solid overall album! Every song sounded like a hit, and kept me wanting more Simple Plan.

    Screw what the critics say. This album is amazing. In terms of sound, this is their best. Almost every song gets me hooked. By far the best album I've heard so far this year.

    Julia: Please note that the critics and haters are the ONLY ones calling Simple Plan "punks". The band and (most) fans are very aware of who they really are. They aren't punk and they don't try to be, so there really is no point in calling attention to the obvious and using it to insult them. As for the album...it is different, more commercial. I think it's a bit more mature, musically and lyrically BUT it is still the same depressive, clicheed lyrics over an upbeat, poppy sound. That's Simple Plan, and I wouldn't change it for the world :)… Expand

    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.

    The whining hasn't let up (see 'No Love' and 'Generation'), but the fun hasn't either. Credit the producers.

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

    Simple Plan's plan--to get you bouncing, bobbing, and otherwise grooving--is still simple. And like all uncomplicated strategies, it's still remarkably effective.
