Newer sound.. Every song is a good tune. This CD seems a little more grown up then earlier releases. Great Purchase.
Moving Away From High School Punk Rock
If you are an "old school" Simple Plan fan, you may have difficulty in accepting this album, but it is truly a spectacular album. You will have to put your preconceptions aside before listening to this album as this is a dramatic change in direction compared to their past albums. Simple Plan's original teenage fan base from their first 2 albums are now into their 20s and Simple Plan has adjusted its tone to reflect its maturing fans, making a large leap away from their "life sucks" high school punk roots.
This was the first Simple Plan album where I actually enjoyed each and every song, so much so that it is hard to pick any stand-out favorites. The ballad "I Can Wait Forever" is without a doubt the album's best song, followed most likely by "Your Love is a Lie" and "What If". I also thoroughly enjoyed the heavily criticized "Generation" - it has a good beat and is very catchy.
I'm not a huge fan of synthesizer or electronic melodies, but for some reason, they seem to fit the songs of this album. It will be interesting to see what Simple Plan will put out next, but I for one hope they will grow again with an even more mature rock sound.
Simple Plan or Backstreet Boys?
I was very disappointed with this new album. I quite like Simple Plan's first two albums and their pop-punk-rock style. The production introduced electrocic elements and backing vocals effects in the first six songs that turned Simple Plan into Backstreet Boys.
From the seventh track (which is very good) on, I could recognize Simple Plan, but most of them are ballads.

BEST CD EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are a diehard Simple Plan fan, YOU HAVE TO GET THIS CD!!!!! ANY fan of rock or punk rock will LOVE this CD. This CD the BEST CD you will EVER find. My fav. tracks are: 2. Take My Hand 4. Your Love Is A Lie and 11. What If, not to leave out any of the other amzing songs. BUY THIS, coming from a DIEHARD Simple Plan fan. GO SIMPLE PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Simple Plan, Third Album
While I've heard some pretty negative things about this album, where they were experimenting and trying some new things, I really thought they did a good job. Simple Plan has always been one of my favorite bands ever since they first started out. They're getting older, so I thought it was pretty normal for their music to mature along with them. Their songs are relatable and powerful, and have more meaning to them then their previous stuff, in my opinion. I think this is their best album yet, and I hope there are more to come.
