    its a gr8 album. They rock as usual. I don't understand what makes them give it a score of 51. it deserves above 89.

    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.

    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!

    This album is a great melodic album for someone who is looking for nice and catchy guitar parts together with great vocals. Now, before all the bashing begins, this album is for TEENS! Means an adult might not like this, that's alright. But for what it is, which is a melodic rock album for teens I give it a 9.

    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

    This album is tied for the best album i have ever heard in my entire life. I love this record, and Simple Plan is my favorite band in the entire world of music. My favorite songs are "Your Love is a Lie", "Save You", "Generation", and "Time To Say Goodbye. This album is their best album ever.

    Better than "Get Your Heart On" By miles, had much more rememberable tracks and only a few forgettable. Definitely would recommend this to any Pop-Rock fan! Definitely not their best though!!

    *Ps. I love people who act like Simple Plan are a forgettable band will then go listen to today's pop and rap music or metal for that metal.. no rock band today even compares to the legends from    Better than "Get Your Heart On" By miles, had much more rememberable tracks and only a few forgettable. Definitely would recommend this to any Pop-Rock fan! Definitely not their best though!!

I love people who act like Simple Plan are a forgettable band will then go listen to today's pop and rap music or metal for that metal.. no rock band today even compares to the legends from the 60s and 70s, but simple plan at least sticks with their own style and doesnt go too poppy.. well minus Get your Heart On*    … Expand

    Todos aquellos críticos y usuarios que dicen que este es un mal álbum es porque no saben que toda banda necesitan por lo menos un álbum un poco más oscuro y no tan happy PUNK como los primeros que sirva como respiro para no seguir consumiendo el mismo género y no aburrirnos rapido

    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.
