  1. [Simple Plan] serves up ear candy like "Welcome to My Life," which has a gooey-angst-ridden center but is as bouncy as it is sincere. [29 Oct 2004, p.68]
  2. While it's hard to feel moved, it's impossible not to admire the craftsmanship. [Mar 2005, p.101]
  3. 60
    Every song has hooks so polished you can see your reflection in them. [Dec 2004, p.142]

    A four, for the effort. A four because I could simply go like this: "SP SUX, DONT BUY ALBUM PLZ PLZ!" and I would consider it fair game. I do not think that people telling me they listen to SP and act special about should feel special. SP reminds emos what it is to be emo. AKA: Crying for something that you aren't getting, but could be getting, if you only stopped crying about it. It's an issue. The whole album is an issue. I am french, from Quebec. And I can tell you there's a fury about them in their own country. People rush to buy their albums and then feel sad because of an overly singular text. Those guys are what... 20 years old? And they still come up with texts like "Somebody save me!" or "Help me!" ... You could be asking for help at 14 years old, but at the point they are, it just doesn't fit. It's not right, it doesn't sound right. Some critics have said: all the songs sound like hits. Alright, so that's already another problem. When all the songs sound like radio-material. It's bound to not make sense and just be teen-food. Parents enjoy Simple Plan because they apparently make their children feel special. Issues that teens cry over are talked about in this less-than-brainy album. If your view on life is sad and you think "there's nowhere to hide". (LOL , MAJOR LOL)Please, do buy this album and cry in your own little corner, or invite your friends over to rant about things you have trouble comprehending. Perfect album for someone with an IQ of a simple-minded anarchist. P.S Simple Plan is Pop-Rock, not Pop-Punk. Or "Teenage crying for attention". Expand

    This album is defintiely not as good as some people might lead you to believe. Most of the people rating them with high scores are young teenagae girls that have comments such as,"they rox hard! and best band eva......although that might really be what they thought of it one must question the validity of these statements. This album, and simple plan in general are in no way punk or rock. If you think this is rock....well then maybe you should go listen to something that is really rock. All 11 tracks sound oddly similar and mostly talk of the same types of angst and problems that we are oh so familiar with. If you enjoy real rock or punk, dont buy this album, let alone listen to any of simple plans music. Simple plan is a medicore punk band at best. Expand
