Where's the rebelliosness? the drugs? the sex? the actuall rock n roll? seroiuslly, the only reason why they are popular and everyone is making their money is because of the all those 11-15 year old, slit wristed, poser girls who actually buy their music, Why do u think most of these people who add comments here in this forum are mostly girls???........anyway, since when is music 11 tracks of whining about the same crap over and again,.... it's horrible, people should be ban simple plan from the internet whole, and i really suggest you guys to help me defame these posers. This band kills rock like alot others like good charlotte (dont even get me started with good charlotte). NO wonder rap is soo popular cuz new rock sucks, imagine if radio stations, mtv, much music (for canada), and other music distributors would putting some good new rock music?. This music so tacky and whiney, think about it.. be smart. some other suggestions, since people do play horrblie music now days, go to a music store, buy some real rock, buy some led zeppelin, some black sabbath, some ac dc, some soundGarden some alice in chains, and i bet there a great new bands if ur not into the 70',80's or 90's. Whatever jus not his horrible music! sorry if i offended anyone but i really strongly aobut this and the direction of rock , music, anyway i got to go listen some motley crue right about now before i hurl Expand

    I've noticed that a lot of Simple Plan's songs have similar themes to some songs by The Offspring. The difference is that Simple Plan sound more like whiny little boys than musicians who can take full advantage of their musical premises and themes. "Welcome To My Life" is the most pathetic attempt to sound cool I've ever heard ("No you don't know what it's like to I've noticed that a lot of Simple Plan's songs have similar themes to some songs by The Offspring.

    This is by far one of the worst albums I have ever lisented to. The lyrics are riddled with old cliches about be a winney teenager wanting to kill themselves. Simple plan sucks. period

    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

    Simple Plan are just no good, this cd contains nothing but them complaing even though there livin it up coz teenage girls actually buy this. THis isnt punk rock if u want decent punk rock bands 2day you will find them hard 2 com acroos but there are two satandouts Green day and Blink-182 they may not be the Sex Pistols or the Ramones but there better than this crap.

    O...My...God. i know that a zero is a very unrealistic score, but come on, a band this shitty deserves one. Absolutly no creativity and originality. just lame ass riff after lame ass riff, and lyrics that a 12 year old could write in his/her sleep. I know thier demographic is 12-15 year old girls, but music this horrid deserves to be banned. For this i am ashamed to be canadian.

    I love this forum because all of the users vote it either 0 or 10, I would normally rate this music at a 0, but it has become a cliche so i will give it a 2. First the positives, the sales generated by this CD may yield economic profit, and any profit made will help GDP (albiet the Canadian GDP, as they are Canadian - if you don't believe me read up on GDP calculations). Now that i I love this forum because all of the users vote it either 0 or 10, I would normally rate this music at a 0, but it has become a cliche so i will give it a 2. First the positives, the sales generated by this CD may yield economic profit, and any profit made will help GDP (albiet the Canadian GDP, as they are Canadian - if you don't believe me read up on GDP calculations). Now that i have completely exhausted the postives now the negatives. First the CD full of teen angst and complaining is enough to make one sick. Listening to "welcome to my life" seems so insignificant as they are complaining about normal teenage experiences. Everyone at that age feels misunderstood and the depressive approach that these 20 year old men take to sympathize with todays youth is fairly pathetic. I want to hear an artist who has been deeply effected by a tragedy then they would have the right to complain, yet they wouldn't because the root of complaints is from being spoiled. It must be hard to keep there musical integrity by recycling old highschool stories about themselves (if what they sing is even truth). The bottom line is simple plan is recycled music. it is evident in every song. they re-use words and phrases even within their singles. Musically, you would not need any talent or previous experience to quickly play any of their songs. This CD is suited for a very targeted market, overall this group and CD has about the same amount of musical integrity as a Paris Hilton CD. Expand

    This CD is pure garbage. This kind of music is only good for reinforcing doubt and lack of confidence. All they do is whine about there lives and the problems they have; nobody cares grow up! Oh wait somebody does care, girls between 12 and 15 who have nothing better to do, but cry about how bad there lives are. This CD is trash!

    How can you people manage to write a 'review' when you are already yelling at your parents and cutting your wrists with a butterknife? These guys need a swift kick in the balls (if they have any).

    I'm a nice person, but I hate this band with a fucking passion. Easily one of the worst band's I've ever listened to, right along side Nickelback. Everything from the whiny-ass vocals to the shitty guitar riffs. How can anyone stand this crap? I just don't get it.

    Every single of this album is a whiny piece of shit. One wonders when will this band ever grow up. This album is a perfect example of bubblegum pop and rock wannabe. It has absolutely no taste in music other than just to grab teenagers attention by the very typical rants with added rhythm just to turn it into a song.

    This is music for stupid teenagers made by people who should know better by now. Since when did Simple Plan "keep it real" anyway? Simple Plan are more synthetic than fake vomit, and just as pleasant.

    This CD has spawned three of my least favorite songs of all time. "Untitled" is probably the most horrificly sung song I have ever had the misfortune to hear. I could write a better song simply by not writing one at all. And I could come up with a better title. "How could this happen to me???" Because you deserved it, Bouvier.

    "Poser Punk" is a genre that must die. This CD is proof. What a disgrace...connect the dots teenage angst from a bunch of priveldged upper middle class clowns with too much time on their hands. Their silly spiked hair, make-up, and black tee shirts does NOT fool me. Wake up kids...this isnt real music.

    I give this a three because I like "Shut Up". The rest of the songs suck hard and sound emo-like (not that "Shut Up" is not emo-like). This is really a album, but they did make ONE good song.

  1. Individually, the songs are catchy, but as they pile up over the length of the album, it's impossible not to wonder whether the singer's endless complaints didn't drive everyone away. [8 Nov 2004]
